Enhanced PDF support
Work more easily with Adobe PDF-based content. Precisely control the size of PDF pages opened in Photoshop; add security controls and metadata, such as copyright and exposure details, to images within PDF presentations; and create a richer image display in PDF presentations and documents.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom support
Jump from Photoshop Lightroom software to Photoshop CS3 in one click for advanced editing of your digital photos. Lightroom (sold separately) offers an efficient, powerful way to import, manage, and present large volumes of digital images.

Improved printing experience
Photoshop helps you experience better control over print quality with color management, a larger print preview window, and more controls in one place so you can print in fewer steps. Improved printing controls, co-developed by Adobe and HP, make printing easier and more predictable, and streamline setup options via integration with select printers from HP, Epson, and Canon.

Photoshop presets
Make sophisticated color adjustments automatically with one-click presets in Curves, the Channel Mixer, and the new Black and White conversion dialog box.

Peak performance
Experience native performance on Intel- and PowerPC-based Macintosh computers, and on Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista systems.

Automated production
Automate common production tasks in a variety of ways with Photoshop. Set up event-based scripts, record a series of steps as an Action for efficient batch processing, and design repetitive graphics faster with Variables.

History palette and Edit History log
Photoshop helps you undo and redo any set of editing steps in an open image with the History palette, and automatically track all editing steps within your files with the Edit History log. Export steps to a text file or save them as part of image metadata for easier documentation of your work, file audits, and more.

Wide range of supported formats
Import and export a wide range of file formats, including PSD, BMP, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, and TIFF.

Adobe Device Central CS3

Zoomify export for high-resolution web display

Third-party solutions and resources
Take advantage of a wealth of additional resources--including software plug-ins, books, and training--from the longstanding community of expert Photoshop developers, authors, and trainers.

Auto-Align Layers can automatically connect a series of photos into a panorama (left). Auto-Blend Layers can then seamlessly blend lighting and texture to complete the perfect composite image (right).

Edit With Unrivaled Power

Nondestructive editing

Photoshop Smart Filters
Add, adjust, and remove filters from an image without having to resave the image or start over to preserve quality. Nondestructive Smart Filters allow you to visualize changes without altering original pixel data.

Photoshop Smart Objects
Perform nondestructive scaling, rotating, and warping of raster and vector graphics with Smart Objects. Even preserve the editability of vector data from Adobe Illustrator software.

Professional color and tone control

Color-correction enhancements
Take advantage of precision color correction made faster and easier in Photoshop CS3. Brightness/Contrast now provides better results from the same intuitive interface, and enhanced Curves controls let you make automatic adjustments with included presets or those you create; convert to black-and-white with point sliders; and use a histogram, color channel lines, and a clipping preview.

Black-and-white conversion
Easily convert color images to rich black-and-white and adjust tonal values and tints with a new tool. Experiment with the included black-and-white presets, or create and save your own custom presets to achieve the best results.

Improved Channel Mixer
Take advantage of new functionality and a host of presets that make the Channel Mixer easier to use for black-and-white conversion.

Enhanced 32-bit high dynamic range (HDR) support
Create and edit 32-bit images and combine multiple exposures into a single, 32-bit image that preserves the full range of a scene--from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. New image processing and alignment algorithms deliver superior results in Photoshop CS3.



Maximize screen space for editing while keeping essential Photoshop tools accessible.

Intelligent Image Editing and Enhancement

More powerful cloning and healing tools
Experience greater Photoshop control when retouching images with cloning tools and the Healing Brush. See source pixels under your tool or brush for more precise positioning; preview changes to source content live; and set multiple source points, scale, and rotate in the new Clone Source palette.

Rich painting and drawing toolset
Create or modify images in Photoshop with a wide assortment of professional, fully customizable paint settings, artistic brushes, and drawing tools.

Enhanced Vanishing Point
Take perspective-based editing to a new level with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which lets you create multiple planes in an image, connect them at any angle, and then wrap graphics, text, and images around them to create packaging mock-ups and more.

Composite With Breakthrough Tools

Easy compositing and selecting

Advanced compositing
Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.

Improved Photomerge technology
Take advantage of refined Photomerge technology, which uses new layer-alignment and layer-blending capabilities to let you automatically stitch horizontal or vertical photos into seamless panoramas.

Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools
Make selections in a snap. Loosely draw on an image area, and the Quick Selection tool automatically completes the selection for you. Then fine-tune your selections with the Refine Edge tool.

Flexible layers
Composite images, text, and effects on hundreds of layers for extraordinarily sophisticated results. Organize layers with up to five levels of nesting, and save in different combinations as Layer Comps.

5 out of 5 stars The biggest, the best   August 2, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Photoshop has been the leader in the field for many years now. The good thing is that they are not resting on their laurels, but continually striving to improve the product.
Photoshop has advanced to a stage where one can do virtually anything with image files. The improvements in this version are mostly improvements to simplify the processes and I suppose to improve stability (which still needs a little work) and speed, which is spectacular.

The user interface has been much improved over the years and I believe a novice should be able to teach himself the basics of this programme by just playing around. It is that good, even though CS3 has more features than ever. There are a multitude of books available, though, which I would recommend even professional users to consider, as there are so many features available. As one reviewer wrote about a famous PC Game: "Easy to learn, hard to master".

The point is that Photoshop has been the leader for so long, it is the industry standard, and will be for a while, because no one else comes close. (I have always been a very loyal supporter of Corel products, especially of the WordPerfect series, but Photoshop puts Corel Photopaint to shame).

If you are a professional photographer or designer, you will know that this is an essential purchase. If you are a serious amateur looking for the very best image editing software available (regardless of price), this is the one to get, although Photoshop Elements 6 is also a very worthwhile purchase, as it contains many of the features in this package (but not the ones the more professional users would need).

For me, photo-editing has been transformed from the pain it once was to a very enjoyable part of my job, thanks to Photoshop.

Yes, there are other products available, but all of them thrown together still cannot give you what Photoshop does. End of story.

I am unable to write a review on this program because I never received my order. The order was through Amazon, but it was actually from No Limit Sales. Amazon however, was most helpful in trying to get my order and when it was several days past time for the last date of delivery, my purchase price was credited back to my account and I was free to place my order somewhere else.

Received product promptly, item in perfect condition and as described. The Seller was even kind enough to email me when he shipped my item and give me a way to track it.


5 out of 5 stars great program, but difficult to figure out at first   May 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I do recommend this product, however if you do not already know how to work this program (like me) I definately recommend the book "Simplified tips and tricks for Adobe Photoshop CS3" by Lenette Kent It has helped me tremendously! I am trying to get a photography studio off the ground as a part-time business while holding a full- time job and raising two little kids. This program is a must for the business, and this book is a must for the busy hopeful. Thanks!
