Adobe Announces Photoshop CS3 Beta

After countless months of waiting, Adobe has finally announced that it will be releasing a Beta of the new Photoshop CS3 on Friday, December 15th. As expected, the release is a universal application, meaning that it will run natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. Adobe stated that this is an exciting time for the Mac and that Adobe wanted to help smooth out the transition to Intel-based Macs with a preview release of Photoshop CS3. Adobe gives us more info about the new Photoshop Beta.

Packed with new features, Photoshop CS3 beta also includes a pre-release version of a major upgrade to Adobe Bridge, as well as a preview release of the all-new Adobe Device Central. Photoshop customers can use Adobe Device Central to design, preview, and test compelling mobile content, created specifically for smaller screens. This new tool, integrated in the Photoshop CS3 beta, simplifies and accelerates the creation of mobile content through a preview environment and built-in device profiles.

 

To utilize Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta, customers require a serial number from either Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe Creative Suite® 2, Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio, Adobe Design Bundle, Adobe Web Bundle or Adobe Video Bundle. Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta is available in English only. Customers who have a valid serial number for all other language versions of qualifying Adobe products can download the software. Without a serial number, users can still download Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta, with the product expiring after two days. Customers must register online with Adobe or have an existing Adobe.com membership account to access the software.

The System Requirements for Mac are OS X 10.4.8 or 10.5, a 1GHz G4 or G5, or an Intel-based Mac with 512 MB of RAM or more. Adobe will also be releasing a version for Windows XP.

 

Update: The Photoshop CS3 beta has been released. You can download it here.

Are you on SS2? That can be the source of your problem. Sorry bro, I can't help you but it would be interesting whether somebody else with a SS2 processor post his experience.

There's nothing special with the activation routine. Write your SN in the boxes, press the next button and the setup will do it all for itself.

I haven't tried this yet, because I don't have a hex editor (yet!) :pirate2:

 

Look like it did work !!! or at least no more annoying activate message :whistle: tomorrow I will know the exact answer.

It works here without any changes, right after the installation. It is much faster than CS2....

 

Now activation is the only problem... :pirate2:

Damn. I really hate that I have to upgrade. To a troubled kernel and troubled OS version.

 

Especially since it always requires a clean install. This OSX thing is really starting to anoy me.

I am pretty sure I read that the OpenGL features are disabled still (on purpose by Adobe) in this beta release.

Anybody else having trouble with the brush cursors? I'm just getting a crosshair which doesn't help as much as seeing the actual size of the brush.

Yes Davegarbs, i have the same problem with brush cursor...it doesnt show the size of the brush, only a crosshair.

Until I changed brushes it was ok. But now, sometimes I don't even get the crosshair.

 

Beta issue or Hackintosh issue......? :)

Running cs3 in the free trial mode causes the crash.

It might be smbios that causes the error, but running the nice little hex edit gets rid of the error.

Im not wasting time at this point to try to fix it.

When final comes out, if theres still errors, I'll look at it then.

 

Paulicat.

Crack works amazingly well.

 

This was worth the wait-it looks great and behaves just like previous versions of Photoshop.

 

Great work, Adobe!
