Software Reviews of Adobe Photoshop CS3 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Still waiting for a NEW copy of CS3!
Summary: 1 Stars
Just installed my second copy of CS3 after Amazon sent me the upgrade disc by mistake. Contacted support at Adobe after the first install to make sure it wasn't a software glitch and they assured me the serial number indicates Amazon sent the wrong software. I actually can't see anywhere on the box or DVD case any mention of whether it's a new or upgrade copy and only found out when I got to the registration dialogue box. To my GREAT DISMAY, my newly installed second CS3 copy from Amazon is ANOTHER upgrade disc. C'mon guys!! I love shopping here but you've forced me to do yet another return and this time I'm taking my $600+ elsewhere.Customer Review: Love it--and no bugs!
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on these reviews, it would seem that there were bugs in the versions sold in June and earlier. I just bought my upgrade (in December) and it works fine, as other later reviewers commented. (I don't think Adobe has to put fake reviews on Amazon to sell their product, as one reviewer suggested. They offer automatic free updates...use the service, eh?)
I was using CS and heard that the "File Browser" had been replaced by a stand-alone application. I loved the file browser and used it heavily to organize and flag my photos so this is why I waited so long to upgrade. It turns out that once you learn how to configure Bridge, the SA app, it is far superior to File Browser. As for the rest of the program, I can't say enough about Adobe Camera Raw 4, another application that comes with CS3--it is fantastic, AND it works on jpg files as well as RAW! Sure, maybe not with as much finesse as it can apply to a RAW file, but it still works! And the main Photoshop program is of course superior to all others on the market.
I heartily agree with the reviewer below who suggested buying an early legal version of Photoshop and then buying the upgrade to CS3. This will definitely save you some bucks! And then carefully read the reviews of instruction books to find one (or more...) that will teach you what you need to know for your particular style of photography.
Yes, the upgrade from CS to CS3 is definitely worthwhile, and from what I gather from reading various books, even CS2 to CS3 is something to seriously consider.

Customer Review: Adobe Photoshop CS3...Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, what would you expect from the industry standard in graphic manipulation? It is everything that you've come to expect and has become everything that you've ever wanted Photoshop to be! (Despite the price tag)
It's perfect for professional graphic designers, professional Illustrators, professional Artists, professional Photographers, and Professional web Designers. The keyword is "professional", but don't let the word professional stop you. Afterall, it was probably Adobe Photoshop that gave those professionals the edge so they could become "Professionals"! So even if, (especially if,) you're a novice of any of those professions, let Adobe Photoshop give you the edge so that you can take your rightful place amongst the other pros in your field. Unleash your creative side!
Want the best? Buy the best. It's that simple. Aside from a nice sized price tag and a few hiccups in Vista, Photoshop CS3 is the choice of Professionals.

Customer Review: Using with Windows XP--No Bugs
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using the product with Windows XP Pro and everything seems to work fine. It does take a bit getting used to the new location of palette and menu items. Is this upgrade worth it? If you need the specific features sure. We bought it to put it on 2 new machines.
