Software Reviews of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Upgrade [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Photoshop keeps improving!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Photoshop for 5 years now. It is the best product out there for improving all sorts of photos. They have improved the interface, selection tools and now have even just recently upgraded Camera Raw. I use CS3 in conjuction with Adobe Lightroom. It is just awesome how they improve this product for each new release and they do it now with frills!Customer Review: wait until Adobe fixes installation complaints
Summary: 1 Stars
Do NOT get this program YET. There are numerous issues with the installation process which Adobe has yet to address. I am not alone with serious installation issues. The Internet is full of complaints about aborted installation of all Adobe CS3 products. Some people need to do a complete reinstall of their XP operating system (after a hard drive reformat) just to install the latest Adobe products. Others have had to uninstall all of their Adobe products just to install the trial version of Photoshop CS3. Adobe does offer one fix, but before you use it they warn you that use of their script coult result in erasing of your entire hard drive. Adobe has really screwed up with the new product line. Beware!!!!!!!Customer Review: Wait for CS4

I guess the folks at Adobe paid their staff to write some Amazon reviews....
I've been using Photoshop since version 2 and have been teaching Photoshop classes for over 10 years, and this is the worst upgrade ever (two stars since, well, it IS Photoshop afterall).
Photoshop's most touted new feature--non-destructive filters--is implemented very poorly. Rather than working like adjustment layers currently work, SmartFilters, as they are known, convert the underlying Photoshop layer into a SmartObject and places the SmartFilter on top. You CS2 users know that you can't edit a SmartObject in Photoshop--you have to go to the object's native application. So to edit the image under a SmartFilter, Photoshop opens it in a new document window (meaning you can't see its interaction with layers underneath as you edit it, and can't see how the various SmartFilters make the changed composition look until you save and return to the original document, and you can't see the effect of the SmartFilter as you edit the underlying art.
Adobe quietly retired ImageReady, so there is now NO way to open an animated GIF and edit its multiple frames in Photoshop CS3!
I've summarized the dissapointing bugs in a review of the whole Creative Suite (type "cs3" in the search field).
Customer Review: Buggy, Buggy, Buggy
Summary: 3 Stars
Eventually this will be a great product, after Adobe gets rid of all the bugs in it. It has some great features, and is a worthwhile upgrade from CS2, but Adobe should hide their faces in shame over the pitiful quality of the software. I tried the beta version and hit many bugs, but certainly thought Adobe would cure those ills before putting the real deal on the market. I was sadly mistaken. I'm not talking about little bugs either. Adobe Bridge won't launch probably 65% of the time. Some times it will take 4 or 5 re-starts before Bridge will launch. That's certainly more than just a mild irritant, or a small bug. Like I say, EVENTUALLY it will be a great program, but far from it now.Customer Review: Excellent Photo Shop!
Summary: 5 Stars
This version is a must to have when dealing with RAW format.
I know there are other programs that deal with RAW but I like Adobe!
I am very satisfied with it! A MUST!
