Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended for 3D and Video
Book Review: is Adobe encroaching on 3D animation?
Summary: 4 Stars
Photoshop is probably the most common image editing program. Highly refined by Adobe. Yet Adobe is continually pushing the envelope on Photoshop's functionality. This book describes 2 important new usages. For importing and editing video. And for 3D animation. To be sure, there are certainly other packages that do these.
It looks to me that Adobe wants to encroach on their fields. Namely for 3D animation. If you are already in that arena, then the editing abilities of CS3 described here might seen ok but minimal. An initial effort. But keep an eye on Adobe. They may be doing something out of the Microsoft playbook. Where the first products are so-so. But then Adobe will progressively iterate. Easier for them to do this and get large improvements. Whereas existing products like Maya could face diminishing returns.
