Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

[mini_0]

Just as Adobe slowly ramped up the 16-bit color support in previous versions, CS3 now supports a few more 32-bit HDR operations than before, including some brushes, Levels, Hue, and Saturation. Notably missing are support for the Magic Wand (although, oddly, Quick Select works), Curves, and the new Black and White adjustments. (You can still use the Channel Mixer, however.) Adobe also introduces support for DICOM image stacks. Its new measurement tools, which let you drop counters on an image as well as measure and record the distance and angle between two points, are faster to use than previous manual methods, but they feel a bit undercooked--as if Adobe is waiting to hear from users before putting it back in the oven. In addition to the enhanced Vanishing Point capabilities in its sibling--the ability to create linked planes at odd angles--Extended allows you to measure the planes and angles as well as export the meshes to DXF or VPE (After Effects).
