Photoshop CS3

Photoshop is launching its 10th vesion ( could be 12th if one includes the versions 2.5 and 5.5). You know its almost 20 year since we are in use of this software........I have listed bellow few advantages of the new version. Have not worked on it...may be you have...if so share your experience.

New User Interface
CS3 has single slim tool box. It is adjustable to two. Palettes can be adjusted...try it out

Vanishing Point 2.0
Have you tried the vanish point in Photoshop? It is used mainly to give perspectives...used much in architectural designs and if you want work with boxes writings on boxes etc...CS3 has Vanish Point 2.0

Refine Edges
Refine edge tool is brilliant. This tool allows to refine the edge of a selection. The new version has a quick selection tool the moment you click on this tool, the selection can be previewed against a black , or whtie or a transparent background and gives the option to contract, expand the selection, feather it etc...

Better Curves
The curves in CS3 is beautiful. you can see the histogram as a water mark...fun na?

Black and Whites
CS3 has a dedicated too for converting images to black and white with many options. You have more options at this level depending on your creativity.

Smart Objects
Photoshop is always knwon for the ability to work non-destructively. This is an addition to this option. CS3 takes the Adjustment layer to a new level. Once an image is converted to Smart Object. Once the layer is smart, you can even apply filters as layers and even add layer masks. And then do all kinds of adjustments.

Qick Selection Tool
This tool is grouped with magic wand, but superior to magic wand.This tools allows to make quick selections based on slecting similar pixels from a particular single layer or across multiple layers.
