news is 5 days old but no one posted sooo..
| Quote: |
| Photoshop CS3's interface is said to closely resemble the look and feel of Adobe After Effects 7, with easy palette organization and brightness adjustment for the overall interface itself. Palettes can be moved, minimized, customized or collapsed down to a single icon with ease; even that familiar two-column toolbar can be converted into a narrower single column bar, if desired. |
I hope that means you finally get to have the color picker window kept open.
I read something about your canvas being rotatable and generally more friendlier to 'painters'
Discuss.  |

Exactly what do you dislike about the Ae7 interface?
I had to get used to the interface but working with it for a few months now I really like it, especially when working on smaller monitors.
I like the fact that you can move palettes around and resize multiple windows in one go.
http://www.thinksecret.com/news/0508adobe.html
Tablet users will be pleased to learn that Photoshop CS3 will adopt a number of features Corel currently packs into Painter, including an easily rotatable canvas designed to mimic drawing on paper.
Now this is something that I'm really looking forward to.
I also hope they figure out a way to make the brush interface take up less screenspace. |

Aha, sorry, don't know its interface, so I don't know how well that one would translate to PS.
(I only know Fusion, AE and Combustion.) |

Maybe that's what your shake comps look like . . .

Nah, because you can see where everything is at one glance. You don't have to dig through tabs or lists. Just zoom in on the branch you want to tweak and drag connections around. You can shake a node back and forth to seperate it from the chain, which is where the app gets its name.
It takes about an hour to get the hang of it and you're set. Really intuitive.

"You can shake a node back and forth to seperate it from the chain,"
That's cool. I'd like to give it a go one day, i know after effects is one of very few layer based composting prog's, maybe its just my experience of mayas node based system that puts me off. |

I uninstalled it again because I had some crashes but I think you can see whats new by going something like:
Window>workspace>whats new
It highlights menu items that have been changed. |

Yes i hope that isn't working as intended. I also posted about the color picker window. which is still working the same way as it was in cs2 |

i've reorted a few errors on Adobe's site..
also noticed that there is no support for GPU working the filters for you...
and there's no rotate canvas either..
oh and Bridge won't migrate to my 2nd screen without screwing up |

I like the new palettes. Really handy. Better than the old flag system where one flag would be laid over another so you couldn't see if it was Layers or Swatches or whatever. Well, yeah. Haven't checked out the new brush system (is there anything new?). They just can't make Photoshop better. It's perfect now. Stop updating it!
Bridge is cool aswell. Incredibly fast, even on my now-old rig. The lens-function screws up the focussed parts by scaling them non-proportionally, but I guess that will be fixed.
Nice. Overall I'm looking forward to it. |

could somebody post up a screencap of the interface?
interesting. supposedly 40% faster on intel based macs..what about all the intel based PCs? does that mean cs2 has been running 40% slower on macs all these yrs? it's just silly. |

Video of CS3 UI (www.lynda.com)
Also, get freaky on this: Adobe is releasing a beta to the public - all you need is a legit copy of CS2.

Brush is b0rked big time atm, all i get is a crosshair even tho' i have it set in prefs for brush size..
ten its 40% faster on the new Intel Macs because before CS2 was running on Motorolla/IBM/Apple PowerPC chips so it was using an interface called Rosetta to emulate the RISC code to run under OS10 - if you're using the new iMacs you'll be on par with PC's of the same spec now, and if you're using the new Mac Pro with the Xeon CPU's you'll be a little slower as Core 2 is faster than Core Duo..
its a shame that you can't clock a Mac in the same way u can a PC - having a 2.4GHz Core2 clocked past 3.4GHz is great
the Beta will expire when they release the final version |
