I have upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CS3... finally! LOL

Yeah, I know I'm a couple of years too late. People are all raving about the new Photoshop CS4, but being the traditionalist (translation: too set in my ways to learn the new tips and tricks) that I am, I'm only starting to use CS3 now. Even that is out of desperation due to erm, certain restrictions in the work environment. Not that the management will be too understanding if I open PS at full screen while making Supernatural icons, but hey! I have to find something to do so I don't go insane after 12 hours of FB-ing.

Apparently there are 2 versions of Adobe PS, Standard and Extended. Which one was the one I downloa... *cough*cough* I mean, purchased again? Yeah, probably just the standard. I might upgrade later, if I feel that the features here aren't enough.

I'll be exploring the features within the next available free time that I have. In the mean time, here are the not so new features in Adobe Photoshop CS3...

• User Interface Improvements
  
• Smart Filters
  
• Automatic Layer Alignment and Blending
• Quick Selection Tool and Refine Edge Dialog
  
• Camera Raw Improvements
• Clone Source Palette and Cloning Preview
• Adobe Bridge CS3 Improvements
• Black and White Adjustment Command
  
• Improved Curves Adjustment
• Improved Print Window

I see a few of my favourite tools are getting updates.. cloning, curves... Well, I'm off to explore and experiment folks!
