The editions scheme seems a bit confusing, as if Adobe is borrowing ideas from Vista. But be warned: if you want to be a designer these days, it will cost you at least of $999 USD.
Update: this morning (GMT 0) , there was a product special on Adobe homepage, and there will be a webcast of the launch event.
My favorite features (as a flash developer):
- Flash integration with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects
- Flash IDE now supports Actionscript 3, with improved debugger
- 3D compositing in Photoshop
- Improved vanishiog points in Photoshop, exportable to After Efffects
The big winner in CS3 seems to be Flash, although Photoshop has some impressive features on specialized areas.
