Look at this guys. Remember the Yosemite shot the very anemic image of Jack, First one just brought into ACR than the second one applied the M8 preset . A whole lot better , maybe still a little very slight magenta but looks so much better. Looks to me Thomas knoll got some M8 images with the IR filters because this is a major improvement. The key here is the M8 preset. need to figure a way to make that the default than work from there

 

What M8 preset? Are you referring to the ACR 3.6 preset as being "M8"?

Joe look for the word Basic with a arrow , click the arrow than menu items pop up . Look for presets than select M8 . than what i did was save it as my default . Than you don't have to deal with that anymore

Well, I haven't ever set any presets for M8 but I have for DMR; only the DMR and the old stock ones from previous ACR show up. No M8 presets show up anywhere that I can find in CS3, so I thinking maybe they are ones you put in there previously that are being helped enormously by the ACR 3.6 calibration setting

 

What I did notice is that Bridge says the files are 16 bit DNG. And better yet, the Bridge has both loupe and stack functions very similar to Aperture. I'll bet it sucks a lot of air out of Aperture's sails.

Looks like i carried that preset over from CS2. What i will do is shoot a color chart in daylight than white bal that than save that as the default . Than i could go in and actually profile my camera with the calibration sliders and go by the numeric numbers of the card and than i can save that as my final camera default. profiling on the cheap . LOL

Has anybody found a web gallery automation as yet? One of the reasons I liked the CS2 Bridge was I could quickly make a web gallery for soft proofing to clients. Apparently this hasn't been added yet to the Beta - - or I can't find whatever they call it now.

Its very possible that Adobe expects us to use LightRoom for that as there is a more refined and very powerful version of web gallery built into LightRoom... or perhaps it will show up in the final version of CS3.

John and Tariq,

I had been asking about this earlier today. Here is a link to a blog run by Scot Byer of Photoshop News. Scroll down toward the bottom of the comments, and you will see my question from earlier today, and his response.

 

Living Photoshop: Beta!

 

It is not in the beta, but will return in the final, most likely in Bridge, where it is easiest to use for workflow, as now. Long time to wait for that until Spring 2007....

Perhaps there will be incremental releases of the beta - much like Lightroom. In any event, I won't be deleting CS2 because I use the other programs too (InDesign, etc.) so its not a huge issue.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the beta serial number?

 

I have entered my serial number, that I retrieved from my Adobe user profile, and it states:

 

Sorry, but the serial number you entered is not eligible for the Photoshop CS3 Beta download. Please try your Photoshop CS2 serial number again, or, if you do not own a license for Photoshop CS2, you can purchase one on Adobe.com and use the serial number to download the Photoshop CS3 Beta.

 

Bummer!

Ed, are you entering the serial number on the web site or in CS3? Mine worked perfectly when I entered it on the web site, and the CS3 serial number I was then given also worked fine.

 

You should be able to confirm your serial number by going to www.adobe.com and then selecting 'my account' and then registered products.

 

One thought, did you register your copy of CS2 online?

A first look shows a much better GUI in Bridge, als significantly improved in DNG converter.

 

And much faster too - since native Intel support.

 

Wonder when Lightroom and CS3 will become available as products then.

Sticking with basics, they moved a fundamental tool: "Feather" to a sub-sub menu.

 

One wonders whether they actually use this stuff themselves.

 

Actually that ticked me off at first too Marc... But if you do ANY selection, there is now a new button that pops up on the RH side of the top bar labeled "refine edge". Click on that and check out what you can do now all in one menu ;) IMO a pretty neat upgrade...

 

Cheers,

 

Jack
