Some of our readers are noting initial issues with the release: Quitting then re-launching the program will result in a display of the correct, 2-day trial message. It notes that there is a 30 day period for users without a serial number, and the actual grace period is 2 days." "I work for the PR agency for Adobe, just wanted to send you a quick correct on your Photoshop CS3 article about downloads. UPDATE: Despite the software download clearly indicating a 30-day trial, an Adobe representative e-mailed us stating: In an apparent error, the application displays a message indicating that it will run in a 30-day trial mode when first launched. To clarify - this beta is available to all users as a 2-day trial, but users with valid Photoshop CS2 serial numbers can remove this time limit. However, the beta is still available for download from. Unfortunately, after a few hours of availability, the download link for Photoshop CS3 is nowhere to be found, non-extant on the Adobe Labs page nor the Adobe downloads page. Adobe does not offer technical support for the Photoshop CS3 beta." And while some may find the quality appropriate for use in a production environment, the beta is not final-release quality and should not be used for critical work. Please note that a beta is, by definition, an unfinished product that may or may not include all the features and functionality that will appear in the final release. "Adobe Photoshop CS3 delivers new tools and enhancements that enable you to work more productively, edit with unrivaled power, and composite with breakthrough ease and control. You cannot simply enter your CS2 serial number in the CS3 startup screen.Īs expected, Adobe has released a public beta of Photoshop CS3, the next iteration of the company's venerable image editing software.Īlong with being the first Universal Binary release of Photoshop for Mac OS X (bringing dramatically enhanced speed to Intel-based Mac), Adobe's release notes state the following regarding the new beta: Remember that if you think you are having a serial number rejection issue, make sure that you are using the serial number generated from your Photoshop CS2 number by this page. The serial number rejection problems noted below, however, are still present. In addition, an Adobe spokesperson tells us that a discrepancy between 2-day and 30-day trial terms has been resolved in a newly posted disk image - the software now correctly informs the user that s/he is installing a 2-day trial if a Photoshop CS2 serial number is absent. UPDATE: The Photoshop CS3 beta is now available directly from the Adobe Labs, nullifying our earlier coverage of a pulled link (below).
