[ IN THE WORKS]
WE'VE BEEN TRYING some of the new features in Photoshop CS3 and been pretty impressed.
The new version of Photoshop comes with a Camera RAW that will open JPEG and TIFF files in the RAW conversion dialogue, providing the same degree of fine tuning of photos post-camera that was previously only available for RAW files. In this respect the new Camera RAW is virtually an alternative to Lightroom.
Photoshop CS3 has an excellent colour to black and white converter that gives control over the individual CYMK and RGB channels for tweaking the tonal qualities of the output. It also has a set of filters familiar to users of panchromatic film — red, yellow, green and blue. It is simply a click of a button to apply the filter effect to a colour image.
The killer function in CS3 is the new Photomerge for making panoramas. This has to be seen to be believed. With no user input, beyond loading the image set, CS3 creates seamless panoramas. Once tried it is addictive. We have posted a few quick examples in the Gallery. [These are large files]
Watch this space for a longer report on the new features in Photoshop CS3.
