Hi Matt
I jumped in at the deep end and Photoshop 10 (CS3) was my introduction to this industry standard application.
Leaving aside the image processing functionality, I have found the supporting functions equally important. Examples of these are “Adobe Bridge” which is a powerful file/image browser where you can do a lot of preparation before bringing images into CS3.
When comparing say, 5 or 6 photos to see which is the best, in Adobe Bridge you can have all 6 open in the image window and use a software magnifying glass to inspect a portion of each photo to see which is the sharpest, then you can “grade” or “score” photos that you might want to come back to, and discard the rest.
Then there is the ability to open raw files from our Pentax and Canon DSLR’s as well as open FITs files by use of a (free) plug in.
So, quite accidentally and inadvertently, but certainly adventitiously, the “workflow” side of CS3 has become as important to me as the actual image processing side.
Cheers
Dennis
