Adobe Announces Photoshop CS3 Beta

[ju5tin81]

Anyone else think that the 64MB Graphics card requirement will be a turn off for a lot of Mac users?

Not a single PowerPC iBook or (officially specced) Mac Mini user will be able to run it? Before the whole ‘Powerbook vs iBook’ debate, with the exception of Graphics card, what was the diff between an iBook and a Powerbook 12”?

2 of Apples most popular lines are locked out... hmmm...

So an iBook bought 8 months ago cannot run the new Photoshop! I recon Apple and Adobe are working together here, to encourage people to upgrade their kit...

Um.... No.

What was a real turn-off was the fact that MacIntel owners had to run Photoshop CS2 under Rosetta.

But no more! Woo-hoo!

"You cannot use this installer with this version of Mac OS."

WTF? Dual 2.0 G5 running 10.4.7... And theres no requirements listed anywhere.

Upgrade to 10.4.8.

The minimum Mac system requirements are: a PowerPC G4 or G5 or Intel-based Mac; Mac OS X 10.4.8; 320MB of RAM (512MB is recommended); 512 minimum of RAM if you are running Adobe Bridge as well; 64MB of video RAM; 1.5GB of available hard-disk space; an 1024×768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card; DVD-ROM drive; Internet or phone connection for product activation; and QuickTime 7 software for multimedia features.

Damn, hopefully dont get any problems from it. (remember reading about Dual 2.0 G5s having issues with it).

MacBook 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 1 GB ram... Photoshop CS3 = WOW 😱

It only bounces once! For an app like this! The PPC version on my G5 (of CS2) takes a lot longer. This is amazing. Applying filters too! Quick!

Whered you get the requirements from? Didnt see them on the download page nor in this forum...

Some screenshots showing the new interface and various Black and White settings. Fake infrared isn't very nice imho.

I got them from Macsimum News.

I like the way that Adobe has implemented non-destructive filters in CS3.

I bet Imageready is still included-or in Creative Suite CS3 replaced by Fireworks.

Yes.. they rock (see the podcast on front paage)

IR seems to be gone as all is functionality is moved into PS

Damn... PS CS3 is quick....!

I just need to figure out how to install my scanner and I am laughing.

Come on Indesign CS Beta 😀

 

[R.Youden]

I have just installed. I dont have CS2 as I am waiting for CS3 so it was a bugger that I could only try it out for 2 days. When I was installing it said that I had a 30 day trial? Has anyone else found this?

Have you restarted it? Apparently it then says only two day trial. Might be worth not shutting it down and leave it running. 😉

Won't accept my serial number, either...this is from full CS2 Suite premium NFR (press copy). Can't believe they'd lock press copies out of this...

 

[Mydriasis]

It should work. I got a CS3 serial OK and I'm using a CS2 serial which is an upgrade from PS7 😕

I have a full legal version of CS2 Premium and it won't except my serial either. 😡

 

[jholzner]

The installer is named "Setup", which is non Mac like at all (should be called "Installer" or similar). But it's a Cocoa program, so it balances out 😀

Can someone confirm this? I doubt it's Cocoa. That would entail a complete rewrite of the App.

 

[iPlm]

Can anyone confirm that you can rotate the canvas/background like in Painter? You know, like in traditional drawing you rotate the paper so you're more comfortable with your pencil/brush, i mean this rotating feature in Corel Painter...

NFR? Not for resale? Not for release?

 

[TumbleDryer]

Ermm... am I blind or stupid? Where is the download link? I dont even see a mention of CS3 on the Adobe site. 😕

 

[sdyoyo]

Same here the CS3 serial that it gave me didn't work...

 

[mikey.f]

😕 I can't activate either. Looks like a first bug. 🙄

Or we just don't know how to do it yet.

May be we should have waited for the official beta release ???
