This is a simple video tour of photoshop CS3. The first thing that struck me about CS3 is the artwork or lack of. The icons and the About menu lack graphic polish. Did someone get fired in the artistic department? Well this is a beta, so lets move on.

The first thing that you will notice that is drastically changed in photoshop CS3 is the palette menu. It is one single column now. Concerning the palette menu, I can't tell if anything is missing, since I don't use photoshop throughly like some graphic designers do. Next what I noticed is the "Save for Web" menu has been changed for "Save for Web & Device." It seems like Adobe is providing the utilities for graphic designers to target embedded devices such as PDAs and cell phones.

Lastly, what struck me is the new way of handling the right hand palettes. It seems they can be docked and folded out. Also it seems like Adobe presented 3 new viewing modes for OS X photoshop; maximized screen mode, full screen mode, and standard screen mode. Fairly cool features, however, I think I will stick with the default standard screen mode.

This was a bit rushed, so the overview is very brief and I neglected covering Adobe Bridge. However, this does give you a casual glance at what has been changed in CS3.

Just a note, Bridge is still as slow as ever!

Yes, you can try out CS3 without a serial key for 30 days 2 days!
