Adobe Announces Release of Photoshop CS3 Beta

Thursday, December 14th, 2006  |  Tom Carmony

For much of the (Mac-based) creative community, the official adoption of the new Intel-based Mac computers won’t be complete until the release of Adobe’s Creative Suite 3 as a Universal Binary sometime this coming spring. For those unfamiliar, a Universal Binary is a program format optimized to run on both older PowerPC-based Macs as well as the new Intel machines. Older (non-Universary Binary) software is capable of running on Intel Macs today, but performance in many cases (Photoshop in particular) leaves a lot to be desired.

Suffice to say, there’s a lot of excitement brewing today after Adobe announced that they’ll be releasing a beta version of Photoshop CS3 tomorrow (Friday, December 15th) for free download. The software will include a two-day preview period for non-CS2 users; those currently running CS2 and possessing a legit software license will be able to use the CS3 beta at least until the final, official release of the software in the spring.
