From Adobe: Top reasons to upgrade to Photoshop CS3
Smart Filters—Add, adjust, and remove filters from an image without having to resave the image or start over to preserve quality. Nondestructive Smart Filters allow you to visualize changes without altering original pixel data.
Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools—Make selections in a snap. Loosely draw on an image area, and the Quick Selection tool automatically completes the selection for you. Then fine-tune your selections with the Refine Edge tool.
Advanced compositing—Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.
Streamlined interface and palette management—Maximize screen space for editing while keeping essential tools accessible. Palettes are now arranged in convenient, self-adjusting docks that can be widened to full size or narrowed to icons or even a thin, self-revealing strip at the edge of your monitor.
Better raw image processing—Process raw images with increased speed and superior conversion quality using the Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in, which now adds support for JPEG and TIFF formats; new tools including Fill Light and Dust Busting; compatibility with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ software; and support for over 150 camera models.
Faster, more flexible asset management with Adobe Bridge CS3—Organize and manage images more efficiently with Adobe Bridge CS3 software, which now delivers improved performance, a Filter panel for easier searching, the ability to group multiple images under a single thumbnail, the Loupe tool, offline image browsing, and more.
Enhanced Vanishing Point—Take perspective-based editing to a new level with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which lets you create multiple planes in an image, connect them at any angle, and then wrap graphics, text, and images around them to create packaging mock-ups and more.
Enhanced 32-bit high dynamic range (HDR) support—Create and edit 32-bit images and combine multiple exposures into a single, 32-bit image that preserves the full range of a scene— from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. New image processing and alignment algorithms deliver superior results.
Black-and-white conversion—Easily convert color images to rich black-and-white and adjust tonal values and tints with a new tool. Experiment with the included black-and-white presets, or create and save your own custom presets to achieve the best results.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ support—Jump from Photoshop Lightroom software to Photoshop CS3 in one click for advanced editing of your digital photos. Lightroom (sold separately) offers an efficient, powerful way to import, manage, and present large volumes of digital images.
Improved printing experience—Experience better control over print quality with color management, a larger print preview window, and more controls in one place so you can print in fewer steps. Improved printing controls, co-developed by Adobe and HP, make printing easier and more predictable, and streamline setup options via integration with select printers from HP, Epson, and Canon.
Peak performance—Experience native performance on Intel® and PowerPC® based Macintosh computers, and on Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows Vista™ systems.

Students and educators—With features designed for professionals in video and motion graphics production, manufacturing, medicine, architecture, engineering, and scientific research, Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended software is a key new tool for students pursuing careers in these fields, and for their instructors.
Top Photoshop CS3 Extended Features:
3D compositing and texture editing—Easily render and incorporate rich 3D content into your 2D composites—even edit existing textures on 3D models directly within Photoshop Extended and immediately see the results. Photoshop Extended supports common 3D interchange formats, including 3DS, OBJ, U3D, KMZ, and COLLADA, so you can import, view, and interact with most 3D models.
Movie Paint—Enhance video directly within Photoshop Extended. Now you can paint, add text, and clone over multiple frames of an imported video sequence.
2D and 3D measurement tools—Extract quantitative information from images with new measurement tools. Easily calibrate or set the scale of an image, and then use any of the Photoshop Extended selection tools to define and calculate distance, perimeter, area, and other measurements. Record data points in a measurement log and export data, including histogram data, to a spreadsheet for further analysis.
Support for open standards and MATLAB—Photoshop Extended is compatible with a wide variety of programs, supports many file formats, and offers integration with MATLAB. Pull image data from Photoshop Extended into MATLAB, and visualize results of MATLAB algorithms back in the software.
Easy animation creation with the Animation palette—Use the new Animation palette to create an animation from a series of images and export it to a wide variety of formats, including QuickTime, MPEG-4, and FLV.
Enhanced support for 32-bit images (HDR) support—Create and edit 32-bit images and combine multiple exposures into a single 32-bit image that preserves the full range of a scene—from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. New image processing and alignment algorithms deliver superior results. And with Adobe® Photoshop® CS3 Extended, you can even edit 32-bit images using brushes, filters, blending modes, transformations, selections, tools, aspect ratios, and more.
Wide range of supported formats—Import and export an even greater range of file formats, including PSD, BMP, DICOM, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, and TIFF.
Enhanced Vanishing Point with 3D support—Edit in perspective on multiple surfaces—even those connected at angles other than 90 degrees—with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which also lets you measure in perspective; wrap graphics, images, and text around multiple planes; and output 2D planes as 3D models.
