Adobe Photoshop CS3 Can’t Come Soon Enough

Anyone who works in the design industry understands the title of this post. Photoshop SUCKS on an intel-based mac. It’s slow, there are lots of bugs, and it just makes you feel crippled. Well fret no more. According to this recent drop of information from an unnamed source, CS3 is due soon and with all the bells you expect. Here’s a short list. You can read the full article here.

• Coded for Universal
• New interface, like After Effects 7
• Filter Performance Upgrade
• Adjust Filters after applying them, like adustment layers
• Import and edit 3D Objects and Video (??)

Of course this is all from “sources”. The most important thing is that Photoshop CS3 is on schedule for a Q2 2007 release. Could this be the first copy of Photoshop that users actually deserve to have for free after using CS2 for so long? I think so.
