What is the difference between photoshop CS and CS3? ?

Question

i can't afford the CS3 because i'm still a student and my parents wouldn't buy it for me.

i would just like to know what is the difference, and if photoshop CS has brushes like in CS3? or is it just the basic cropping, filtering, deleting objects? PLEASE ANSWER! thankyou..

Answer 1

Basically the only diffrence is just very few new features. like the new "quick selection tool" and a couple of new filters and you can also animate with just photoshop cs3 itself ( not having to use imageready and since it's also not included in the CS3 set).

it's really not much of a big deal. Just a couple of new stuff. =P

Answer 2

CS and CS3 are basically the same.  Obviously, CS3 has some cool features for professionals, but if you're still a student then I doubt you're going to take advantage of those.  

I have CS3, and I would say there isn't anything that you ABSOLUTELY can't do without.

but there are some helpful features that have come out since CS, like:

-"smart" objects (useful if you're working between different Adobe programs i.e. Flash, Illustrator, etc.)

-the quick select tool (sort of like a smarter version of the magic wand tool, but magic wand is still there)

-image warp

-red eye tool

-spot healing brush

-"smart" filters

Answer 3

You can actually buy CS3 dirt cheap if you're a student.  Go to your schools technology website or ask the OIT department about it.

Answer 4

just download cs3 demo and get any serial number then find a new exe file for PS CS3 that is already activated and there you go
