Photoshop CS3 Beta Q&A

Got questions about the Adobe Photoshop CS3 beta release?
These are the official answers from Adobe…
Q. What is the Adobe¨ Photoshop¨ CS3 beta?
A. Adobe Photoshop CS3 is the next version of Adobe Photoshop software, the professional standard in digital imaging, to be released in spring 2007. The Photoshop CS3 beta is an unfinished version of the application that we are making available to you now, to enable you to work natively on the latest hardware and operating system platforms prior to our ultimate release of the final product.
Q. What’s the big news?
A. Adobe is delivering a widely available Photoshop CS3 beta to enable customers to more easily transition to the latest hardware platforms, particularly Apple’s new Intel based systems. The beta is available as a Universal Binary for the Macintosh platform as well for Microsoft¨ Windows¨ XP and Windows Vista computers, with the final shipping release of Adobe Photoshop CS3 planned for spring 2007. The software can be downloaded at: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs3/
Q. Why is Adobe making the Photoshop CS3 beta available now?
A. Adobe has a long-standing commitment to the Mac community and this release is Adobe’s way of delivering native performance to our Mac customers many months earlier than we otherwise could have done. Over the years, Photoshop has consistently done right by Mac customers, offering a free PowerPC¨ update for Photoshop 2.5 and a free G5 update for PS 7, even though new versions were right around the corner. Making the Photoshop CS3 Beta available to all of our Mac-based Photoshop CS2 users is a further proof of our commitment to the platform. Since a large portion of our customer base is on Windows, Adobe is simultaneously releasing a Windows version of the Photoshop CS3 beta to Windows XP and Vista users.
Q. Who is eligible for the Photoshop CS3 beta?
A. The Photoshop CS3 beta is available in English only but to Photoshop CS2 users worldwide. It is available to licensed users of either the Photoshop CS2 (full, upgrade, and education), Adobe Creative Suite 2.x Standard or Premium (full, upgrade, and education), Adobe Production Studio Standard and Premium (full, upgrade, and education), Adobe Video Bundle (full, upgrade, and education) or Adobe Web Bundle (full, upgrade, and education). You will need to provide your Photoshop CS2, Creative Suite, Production Studio or Bundle serial number in order to get a Photoshop CS3 beta serial number, enabling you to activate the Photoshop beta and use it beyond the 2-day grace period.
Q. Where is the Photoshop CS3 beta available for download?
A. The Photoshop CS3 beta is available on Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/ technologies/photoshopcs3/). Adobe Labs is the source for early looks at emerging products and technologies from Adobe. It is not just for developers, but also for technology enthusiasts. On Adobe Labs, you can get early access to downloads, samples, documentation, release notes, tutorials, and more.
