Digital BW, The Print

Hi Alan... I've been working with CS3 for about ten days.  If you are
accustomed to doing no more than a levels adjustment and then printing
you probably won't find the need to upgrade.  But the new PS has some
great features.  Non-destructive filtering, a very nice color-to-b&w
conversion tool, a much improved brightness and contrast adjustment,
and a MUCH MUCH improved method of stitching together panoramic images.

New levels of control in the clone and healing tools help a lot with
problems like photo-restoration, as well as more overt photo manipulation.

The Extended version is probably not required for normal photographic
users (if anyone's finding good uses for Extended features, I'd like
to hear about them.)

I can see how many folks will get along fine without this upgrade, but
I'm enjoying it.

When I registered the software Adobe sent an email offering some
freebies.  One of the freebies is a month's subscription to the
lynda.com training site.  Which is ordinarily a 25 dollar/month fee. 
It's been useful.
