Adobe announces Photoshop CS3 beta

By Robert • December 16, 2006

Adobe Graphic Yesterday, Adobe Systems Inc. introduced a beta version of Adobe Photoshop® CS3 software, the next release of the world standard in digital imaging. The beta is available for Microsoft Windows® XP and Windows Vista computers as well as in universal binary for the Macintosh platform. Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta is available in English only. This is the first time that Adobe allows us to download a free public beta preview of the next version of Photoshop months before it’s scheduled to ship. The final shipping release of Adobe Photoshop CS3 is planned for spring 2007.

According to Adobe, “Photoshop CS3 beta also includes a pre-release version of a major upgrade to Adobe Bridge, as well as a preview release of the all-new Adobe Device Central. Photoshop customers can use Adobe Device Central to design, preview, and test compelling mobile content, created specifically for smaller screens. This new tool, integrated in the Photoshop CS3 beta, simplifies and accelerates the creation of mobile content through a preview environment and built-in device profiles”.

To try Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta, customers require a serial number from Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Creative Suite® 2, Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio, Adobe Design Bundle, Adobe Web Bundle or Adobe Video Bundle. Customers who have a valid serial number for all other language versions of qualifying Adobe products can download the software. Customers without a serial number can download a version that will expire after two days.

There is an excellent review on the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) website. No need to repeat any of it here.
