• Vanishing Point 2 – Improving on the Vanishing point plug-in you can now wrap images around multipoint surfaces connected at any angle.

• Automatic Layer Alignment and Blending – will let you create advanced image composites; that is combining the best parts of multiple images of the same scene to create one best image. See the image below.

• Zoomify Export – allows you to export full resolution images to the web. Using the Zoomify technology you can let your viewers zoom in on details with minimum delay. Effectively, you image stays small, letting the page load, then if your visitor wants to see more they can zoom in with ease.

• Improved Printing – now incorporates more print options such as being able to set the paper orientation and printer model directly within the dialog, or go directly to a Print Online service. Also the print preview image is color managed so you can better see what you will print.

• Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Integration – Photoshop CS3 is fully integrated with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, so any changes you make in one are compatible with the other.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Edition also has improvements in almost every module.

• Every thing in the Standard edition – All of the same features as listed above come with the extended version.

• 3D Visualization and Texture Editing – now gives you 3D support that allows you to easily place, manipulate, and create composites using your 3D assets. You can now open your 3D Models as 3D Layers and manipulate them in 3D space in a Photoshop document.

• Motion Graphics and Video Layers – It used to be that those in the film and video industry could only export frames as still Photoshop files, now you can edit a video on a frame by frame basis, or add a layer to the video and create edits that will appear on every frame.

• Movie Paint – brings the ability to paint, retouch and use pixel level editing to every frame of a movie file using the complete set of Photoshop tools.

• Measurement and Data – Photoshop CS3 now gives you the ability to use quantitative data as well as the traditional qualitative data. That is, by defining the scale of an image using a known value, you can then set up the measurements you wish to take in the image, and Photoshop CS3 Extended will take all of the measurement and present them in a tabular format.
