Ok, so the wedding is over.. that means I don’t have to do anymore wedding preperations.
CS3 has been released and We got the web studio for my work laptop. Here are my thoughts:
- Photoshop CS3 - Fantastic.. well worth it
- Illustrator CS3 - Dito
- Flash CS3 - Dito..
- Dreamweaver - Hardly worth it, Haven’t noticed much speed difference or features at all.. This would be the biggest disapointment for me. Hopefully next version gets the new interface the others got.
- Fireworks - Installed it.. haven’t used it.
- Contribute - Didn’t bother.
- Flash video encoder - Better.. multipass encoding would of been nice.
Egads! Fireworks?!?
Last time I used that it was horrible.
Not sure why they would package that when they are including Illustrator.
Figured it would be the first app killed off by the merger
Er.. buyout.
yeah.. I don’t understand it either.. I guess there are some people who like it?
Optimised for Intel…pfft, no difference on a PC
I actually really like the new Illustrator / Photoshop interface, its not that different, but meh, suits me.
Dreamweaver is same old, the Flash actionscript panel is still a headache, I have one monitor, where should I put it!!?!?
I could swear that refreshing the file cache and reading the files (especially from the network) was much faster, even on the macs that were previosuly very slow at such activities. for the mac guys at my place it was worth it just for that!
