CS3 Over CS2 for Architecture

[neil poulsen]

What are the advantages of using CS3 instead of CS2 for processing architectural photos? Is there enough of an advantage to justify switching.

I'm using CS2 on a Powerbook, and everything's working fine. I'm hesitant to change, unless it's worthwhile.

Does CS3 work OK on Tiger and a non-Intel Mac?

Huge. Particularly for HD merges and panoramic collages.

Yes CS3 is fine on Tiger for a G4 or G5 Mac.

I am only an amateur user, but I was never impressed by the ability of CS2 to make panoramics ...

Are you asking in reference to processing raw files or scanned film? Exteriors and interiors.

I just switched and CS3 absolutely rocks on my Intel Macs. But I'm not so sure I'd change given the hardware you run now. I don't think you'll find much improvement. Maybe the next machine you buy should get the new PS?

CS3????

CS2????

WTF are you guys talking about?

[Henry Ambrose]

Its special LF code.
Now that you've chimed in we have to send the men in black suits to visit you.
Sorry.





Well really its Photoshop versions and I guess we'll let you pass this time.

I got nothing from CS3. I don't process RAW files from a digital camera, so there was no benefit. I also use large files, and all the coo new things like quick selections don't work at all anyway.

Like many questions asked on this forum it really depends on what you are doing...

Me neither - the point being that in CS3 pano-stitching is greatly improved over CS2. I'm planning to upgrade when I upgrade my 'puter
