Yesterday was Hevan's turn to tell us what he thiks of the Photoshop CS3 beta. Today we catch up with Anararav Sareen to find out what he thinks.
Name: Aanarav Sareen
Position/Company: Adobe Certified Expert, Premiere Pro, AS Video Productions
Photoshop User Since: Version 6.0
ZI: When did you get the beta?
AS: I installed the beta on December 15th, as soon as Adobe Labs started distributing serial #s for Adobe Photoshop CS3.
ZI: What platform did you install the beta on?
AS: Since, I am primarily a PC user, the beta application is installed on a PC running Windows XP Pro.
ZI: What was your first reaction?
AS: First reaction: Adobe usually never announces or conducts public betas, especially for an application such as Photoshop. Therefore, it was definitely a surprise to see a public beta of such a powerful and versatile application.
ZI: What element stood out the most?
AS: One of the things that stood out considerably regarding this application was it’s interface. Traditionally, the Photoshop interface hasn’t received many enhancements, so it was a pleasant surprise to see the new and updated interface.
ZI: Having tried the beta, what features most excited you?
AS: One of the most exciting feature of this version is definitely the Auto Align and Auto Blend feature. Being a casual panoramic photographer, it has always been a challenge to align and correct multiple photos. With this feature, the process couldn’t get any easier!
ZI: Will this change your workflow any? If so how?
AS: Absolutely! With the introduction of Smart Filters, applying effects has almost become in-destructive. Now, it is possible to modify any applied filters at any point, making it considerably easy to make creative and artistic decisions.
Thanks Anarav!
