Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta, the next version of the end-all-be-all for digital photo editing and graphic design, has been announced to be released this Friday. Adobe has also stated that Photoshop will be the only version for which a CS3 beta will be released. Adobe Creative Suite 3 is the next version of the Creative Suite line (which was created because Adobe couldn’t keep adding numbers for software versions), and the first version of CS to be released since Adobe bought Macromedia and all of its software. Another little detail, Adobe has also said that they will put out an “Advanced” version of Photoshop CS3 that will focus more on the video and science markets, and will have enhanced capabilities for the most demanding and specialized images. Because of the expensive cost of the Adobe CS products, upgrades are a major part of sales. In order to be allowed to try out the new version of Photoshop, you will need a valid serial number to one of the various Creative Suite 2.0 distributions. — Nik Gomez
