Customer Reviews:
I'd stick with CS or CS2
I use PhotoShop for various types of image manipulation for purposes of biological image analysis. PhotoShop CS3 is great, almost perfect, for any user who is not going to composite images. If photo merging was not considered, I'd give CS3 5 stars. Other reviewers have listed the positive points about CS3, so I will only expand on my caveat. Previous versions of PhotoShop worked wonderfully at stitching images, compositing 50-60 images momentarily. I currently have a 75% failure rate when attempting to composite even 2 or 3 images with CS3. Adobe forums have revealed that I am not the only person with this issue and that Adobe is in no apparent rush to solve the problem. I am not your typical PhotoShop user; I do a lot of macro creation and some programming because I will often work on thousands of images for a single study. I, like many other CS3 users who rely on the photo merge feature, will be re-installing CS or CS2. For those of you who want the upgraded bells and whistles of CS3 but don't need to composite images, go ahead and buy CS3.

For anyone wondering and not experianced.
I bought this program and am finding it EXTREMELY difficult to use. It has helpful tutorials in the accompanying CD, if only you could follow step by step in the program itself... I am sure this is a great editing tool for those who know what they are doing or have large amounts of free time to spend teaching themselves. For me with three kids and little time it has been very difficult.

Horrible Product - NEW meant USED, with BLANK software CDs enclosed.
Ordered Adobe Photoshop CS3 - received today, Friday 2/22/2008.

The box was wrapped like new, but when I opened it, the discs were all SCRATCHED - Definitely not a NEW, UNOPENED SOFTWARE PACKAGE.

When I inserted the discs, they wouldn't even READ. So I took them to be scanned for viruses, etc., and it turns out the discs were BLANK - nothing on them, with an Adobe label on it. Horrible. I will never buy from this seller again.

The box did not even come with any SOFTWARE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. ODD.

A FULL refund and coverage for all return shipping charges is necessary. Please contact me ASAP about this matter.
