Upon first digging into Adobe Photoshop CS3, a few features have really popped out that may prove exceptionally useful to you as well. Now it’s an opportunity to try these new ways of attacking your creative challenges using the latest version of Adobe’s flagship app.

PsCS3 will run you about $649 to buy it outright, in case you don’t have any previous versions. Well in case ofd existing Photoshop 7, CS, or CS2, you can simply upgrade the version at just $199. Check Adobe’s store on their website for more info.
The current noticeable five new PsCS3 features in order are:

1. Nondestructive Smart Filters
Unlike traditional filters, each filter and effect that you apply to a layer, remains live and continually re-editable in this new filter, and the parameters that you adjust will all cascade down through whatever subsequent filters or effects you might have added to your layer. These are savable, movable, copy and pastable, and most importantly scalable.

2. Quick Selection Tool & Refine Edge
The synonym for photoshop could be selection as per your creativity. This selection tool gives you a breathing space. What you need to do is to set the parameters of your Quick Selection tool (brush, paint, image size). It’s fast and clean. Then, you can invoke the Refine Edge palette, and you have the endless control over exactly how the edges of that selection look.

3. Photomerge with advanced alignment and blending
Now your desire for automatic merging of images has a buried answer in the recent CS3. “Automatic layer alignment and blending” embedded as apart of this new version and the new auto layer alignment features in CS3 are far-reaching and crop up again and again in different areas of the application. It is counted as one of the revolutionary things as a part of this advancement.

4. Automatic layer alignment and blending
Another powerful application of this new alignment and blending technology is with a series or stack of images of the same subject.

5. Vanishing Point with adjustable angle
Again I think this feature has so many far reaching implications for inventors, prototypers, 3D modelers, visual effects artists and can give Photoshop artists the ability to render full blown mockups of product packaging art for clients in a whole new way - getting us to sign-off, green-light and on to the next project at hand much more quickly.
