I had some trouble importing actions into CS3 Beta. CS3 beta just didn’t load all of my actions in my action set.

Regarding PS CS3 (Mac), I do not like the new Windows-style Close and Minimize controls on the palettes as opposed to the Mac OS X versions in CS2 and if these remain in the shipping version I will not purchase it. [I find that surprising. I've been a Mac user for 20 years, and I see no functional or even aesthetic reason to have a problem with the placement of the controls. --J.]

The lynda.com videos are indeed live. Together, we're calling them Photoshop CS3 Beta One-on-One Preview. The series comprises 18 videos, about 90 minutes in all, along with downloadable exercise files. Within an hour of their posting on Friday, they became the most popular videos on the site. (Free to non-members, BTW.) We've also posted some stuff to YouTube (high-quality training medium that it is). The interface video hit 28,000 views in the first 24 hours. I'm sure the other content/news providers are experiencing similar surges. People seem to be interested in this application. Whoda thunk it? :-) [Wow--terrific stuff, Deke! --J.]

I am impressed with the new Camera Raw and Smart Filters. Both are going to be a major improvement to my workflow. Being able to edit Shadow/Highlight adjustments reminds me of introduction of adjustment layers for the first time. Great Work!!!
[Thanks :-). As you may have discovered, you can open raw files as Smart Objects via File->Open As Smart Object. --J.]

Many thanks for the links John—it’s much appreciated (also, thanks for the interview, too).
Gotta run–need a quick cup of coffee, and then it’s off to spread more happy upbeat positive news. ;-)

Thanks for the links. I have just looked at Russell Brown’s tips and tried the all new photomerge immediately. The results are simply stunning. I have used PS CS3 all day now and this release rocks… Congratulations to you guys at Adobe.
[Awesome--thanks! --J.]

Scott Kelby needs to lay off the caffeine. He's a bit too "perky". ;-) [Well, for my part, I've got to lay off the insane blinking. I didn't realize I do that (must be a nervous energy thing), and it looks like I'm trying to send messages in Morse Code. ;-) --J.]

More coverage: Over at http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/25003.html, we’ve got a first look at the beta that’s 2,000 words long, plus 11 screenshots of the new interface and features!
[Awesome coverage, Terri. I'll add the link when I get a second. --Thx, J.]

Will Bridge CS3 also work with Photoshop CS2? In other words, can it be downloaded separately (once it is out of Beta) and then used with CS2?
[No--the apps are designed to work only with the equivalent version-number counterpart, and Bridge is not sold separately. --J.]

“I feel like I’m becoming the Rachel Ray of PMs: chatty and overexposed… ;-)”
Well…not as bad as Rachel Ray! But, when you stick your head up in the crowd, you’re bound to catch a little “wind” ya know?
Actually, I think it’s really useful that you and other Adobe folks _DO_ have a public face (even if George shot it)
:~)
