timeline...this is the 5th or so CS3 thread.
its exciting, but beta

It's kinda jacked so far.
All custom UI elements - they all seem really slow on this G5 (dual 2Ghz)
We'll see how it runs on the Intel Mac . . .
Found one bug already - but not surprising.

some guys are playing with it here and not faster either.

They say the real release won't be until late spring early summer...

PS CS 3 is coming out sooner than i thought it would? For F**k Sake i'm still running PS 7, which i and my company get along just fine with!
Just because its new...doesn't mean its essential!?

it appears to much faster on my Macbook Pro.
First thing I noticed is the new icon is meaningful. Stupid feather never made sense to me.

i tested some filters on a 200mb image
CS3 was about twice as fast compared to CS2 on my Dual G5 with a 4 gigs of ram
I love it! Only bug I found was in Extract with you erase something

It's really cool.
Been testing it for a few minutes.
Much faster on the MBP.
Some really cool stuff in it too. The windows are niiiiiice.

if you do download and test it can you post a real world review.... i would love to try it but I can't risk my production machine... if it takes a crap or corrupts my creative suite install that's like losing$$ ...
I am curious about smart filters I've always felt photoshop should be more like illustrator in that you can actually go back to a filter and change it...

I really hope it's faster than CS2 and less buggy soon. I'm downloading it right now but it looks like it's going to take forever.

So far I am loving it. I am sure I will find bugs but some of the simple interface changes are a welcome.
It is running way faster on my Mac Book Pro than CS2.
and ..... they finally merged image ready and photoshop... took them long enough geez.

:z
Mine is going to be another hour. Apparently I live too much into the suburbs to get high speed (seriously) and there's a forest behind my house so maybe that's why. Also, I share my connection with 4 other computers in the house, each belonging to a different member of my family.

I just deal with a lot of agency supplied 100+ layered files that the studios need finishing and color done on so I was hoping some of you layer intensive folks could post some of your experiences before the real release comes out... I fear anything not quite ready for primetime.
- Jaline0
you have another machine you could test it on?

it's still beta, but I tried a 746Mb 80+ layer file I finished up last week and CS3 ate it alive.
Screw the bugs, it's a keeper for me. CS2 crashes couple times a week anyway once you go above 400Mb files
