I got to try out the new version of Photoshop - CS3. I have been using PS from version 7 and the UI improvements in CS3 are more than welcome. In fact, it is interesting to note how the guys at Adobe have managed to make UI improvements within the given real estate. Everything is intuitive and I didn’t even need to look at the ‘What’s new’ section. What’s more, Digital Photographers have finally got a lot of what they’ll need in Photoshop - better B&W controls, improved Camera Raw etc. And it is interesting to note that ImageReady no longer ships with Photoshop. Has it been laid to rest?

Here is a snap that I worked on using Lightroom and the new Photoshop CS3. I am not pleased with the outcome (the original file itself was underexposed) but it’s me and not the tools to blame

Updated the snap with a better version
