Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

Photoshop CS3 is Adobe's flagship image editing software. It's one of those pieces of 'equipment' which is a must have for any graphic designer, photographer or illustrator. Basically Photoshop has such depth, that it can grow with you as a creative professional. On a weekly basis I find new features hidden away in the menu system, most of which I don't yet understand (and i've been using Photoshop for around 8 years). As an overview, Photoshop can be used to: -Retouch, edit and generally manipulate photos -Create layouts for documents (although Adobe's sister product 'InDesign' is better suited for that) -Create original ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a professional graphic designer or involved in any fancy business where a product such as CS3 is used reguarly and, well, professionally. I'm a meagre digital artist, and only that occasionally; but, regardless of such, I own and use CS3 fairly often in my spare time. It's a long time since I upgraded to CS3 now, but I recall with ease the immediate confusion I was met with upon doing so. The change is drastic when placed in comparison with the likes of Photoshop 7...but this is to be expected: Photoshop CS3 is the industrial standard; it's used by professionals reguarly, by graphic designers, illustrators, photo manipulators - it's going to be ...  Read the complete review

Adobe Photoshop CS3 is "the" bit of software that people use for graphics design, web design and logo design. If you haven't used it a lot, it is incredibly hard to create anything due to the amount of features it has. The problem is that unlike most software you can't work out how to use things in a few minutes and you can't just read a tutorial on how to use photoshop. There are so many features that it can take months or even years until you are an expert. But, once you know how to use it then it is an amazing bit of software. You can create beautiful designs for websites very quickly and easily code them in the ...  Read the complete review

Photoshop is one of the best graphic design software packages i've used. It exceeds expectations and pushes the boundaries of modern graphic design. If you just want a simple logo with a change in gradient photoshop is easy enough to use to do this, and for it to be done quickly. But if you would like something more professional and unique you will need to learn how to use this software properly. It takes quite a while to learn it inside out but even when you have just divulged into the software with trial and error you know alot more that what you did at the start. It's easy to use as the menus are easily labeled and there is no hidden tricks. Overall i ...  Read the complete review
