Looks like Adobe will release two versions of Photoshop CS3, a normal version and en extended version which is targeted at a wide variety of professionals. Photoshop CS3 makes improvements on Adobe Bridge and introduces Adobe Device Central where as the extended version will include 3-D and motion graphics, image measurement and analysis.

"We never imagined that Photoshop would someday help make major motion pictures, let alone save lives," said John Loiacono, senior vice president of the Creative Solutions Business Unit at Adobe, in a March 8 company press release. "Whether it's a video producer texture editing the backdrop of a movie or a researcher counting hundreds of cancer cells, diverse industries are already relying on the professional standard in digital imaging."

Both Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended will be available March 27, 2007. A beta version of Photoshop CS3 is available for download at: http://labs.adobe.com

According to Adobe’s website, “Adobe is already preparing to release the next versions of its professional creative products, including Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, and After Effects, in the Spring and Summer 2007 and does not plan to issue updates to current versions of those products for Windows Vista compatibility.”
