Adobe Photoshop CS3 Feature Highlights

1. New Palette-Based Interface
   
   

   • Palettes are now arranged in convenient, self-adjusting docks that can be widened to full size or narrowed to icons or even a thin, self-revealing strip at the edge of your monitor.

   • History palette and Edit History log - 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.

2. Color Correction Improvements
   
   

   • 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.

3. Extensive Plug-ins and Third Party Support
   
   

   • Plug-ins from third-party developers provide customers with the ability to add even more capabilities. New Photoshop CS3 plug-ins come in these categories: 3D, file format conversion, retouching, special effects, video, color management, digital asset management, architecture engineering and more.

4. Advanced Compositing
   
   

   • Layer Alignment
     Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Adobe® 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
     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.

5. Improved Integration with Adobe Bridge CS3
   
   

   • Organize and manage images more efficiently with Adobe Bridge CS3, which now delivers improved performance, a Filter panel for easier searching, the ability to group multiple images under a single thumbnail, the Loupe tool, offline image browsing, and more.
