Adobe Photoshop CS3 offers plenty of lovely features to turn an unremarkable
image into a wonderful art. It comes with a standard edition for general users
and an extended one to meet industry demands that require more advanced tools
to work with. Regardless of your choice, both editions are awesome.
While mainly used to manipulate images, Adobe Photoshop CS3 can also be used
to create a digital art from scratch. It is true that it is not the latest
version, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you cannot use it to churn out
an amazing design.
Features and Highlights
Filter Gallery
By using filters, we can do many things to an image. For example, turning an
image into an oil painting or a colored pencil drawing. In Adobe Photoshop
CS3, dozens of filters are available within the Filter Gallery. All of them
are listed in groups. There is a small thumbnail accompanying each filter
that shows you how it looks like after the filter is applied to a sample
image.
Smart Filters
After the introduction of smart objects in the previous version, the company
developed yet another amazing feature which is called Smart Filters. It is
one of the highly appreciated features brought in by Adobe Photoshop CS3. It
basically changes the way the filters are applied to an image so that you
can change them any time in the future without bringing any harm to the
image quality. A smart filter can be applied much like a regular one but
only after you convert the layer to a smart object. It is not as
straightforward as some users might expect, but it is still a nice addition
to have.
Selection Tools
The purpose of selection tools is to be able to edit a portion of an object
without altering the rest of the pixels. Among the selection tools there is
a Quick Selection Tool that selects by color. With this tool, you paint the
desired area of an image until it covers every single pixel that you are
about to edit or manipulate. Even though it is called painting, the process
sometimes involves clicking operations as well to expand the selection.
Refine Edges
The edges of a selection might need some tweaks after you finish making one.
You can use Refine Edges to do this. It is a window where all necessary
options to fine tune your selection are brought together in one place, like
Contrast, Radius, Smooth, Feather, and Contract/Expand. It shows a preview
where you can see the result of a tweak and provides a zoom tool to see
closer on how a tweak affecting an image.
