compositing stems from new features that automatically align and blend multiple image 

layers, automated selection tools, and more.
Photoshop CS3 Extended builds on top of the digital imaging standard, by starting with all 

of the new features and enhancements in Photoshop CS3, and adding specialized features 

and tools designed especially for professionals in film and television, manufacturing, 

architecture and engineering, and medicine and science.  New 3D and motion support 

includes time-based cloning and healing on new video layers; 3D model visualization and 

texture editing; and export of 3D models from 2D images. And comprehensive image 

analysis comes from new 2D and 3D measurement tools; and from support for DICOM 

images and MATLAB processing routines.

Photoshop CS3 comes with a wide 

array of new features and improvements to existing ones, but if there’s one thing you will 

notice immediately, it is this: Compared to previous versions of the software, Photoshop CS3 

is just faster. As of December 1, 2006, beta versions of Photoshop CS3 are performing 40% 

faster than Photoshop CS2 on Intel-based Macs. The new Photoshop also gets you there 

faster with streamlined workflows stemming from new preset capabilities, redesigned 

palette management, and compatibility with the newest systems—including native 

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on PowerPC and Intel processors, and Microsoft® Windows® Vista™.

How do you improve on the kind of editing power and performance 

that are the professional standard in digital imaging? By going the extra mile in protecting 

the ultimate quality every step of the way, and by making even more of the features 

professionals rely upon live and re-editable. With Photoshop CS3, you can now apply, adjust, 

add, and remove filters at will, without starting over. Enhancements to color correction 

include easier, more powerful monochrome conversion, an improved Curves adjustment, 

and cloning and healing tools that now feature preview overlays and multiple source points. 
Breakthrough compositing—

Whether it’s a peak-to-shore panorama or creating that one 

perfect shot from a series of images, Photoshop CS3 makes compositing faster, easier, and 

better. Speed compositing by automatically aligning and blending layers. Make a selection 

with one stroke of a brush. Perfect any selection edge in a simple, intuitive dialog box. 

Photoshop has long been an integral part of 3D and motion 

workflows. 3D artists commonly use Photoshop to create texture maps to wrap around their 

models, or to composite their final, rendered 3D images. Film and video professionals 

depend on Photoshop to generate content for visual effects or to retouch individual video 

frames. Now, Photoshop CS3 Extended greatly expands and simplifies these workflows by 

directly integrating support for 3D and motion formats, including new support for 

visualizing 3D models and editing their 2D textures, and for opening motion graphics files 

and editing the still graphics frames that make them up. Now you can edit 3D model 

textures as easily as any other image. You can use familiar, powerful Photoshop tools in 

time-based painting and cloning of video frames. And you can easily import, work with, 

and export to more specialized formats than ever before, including the universal U3D 

format for CAD files, QuickTime, AVI and MPEG-4 video files, and Adobe Flash® video. 
Comprehensive image analysis—

It’s for medical and science professionals analyzing and 

comparing features in images of cultures or scans. It’s for the architect measuring distances 

and areas in site photographs. You’ve always been able to use Photoshop to extract 

qualitative data from your images. Now, with the new measurement and analysis tools, you 

can use Photoshop CS3 Extended to extract quantitative data as well.
