Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 3D, and Full Frame?

adobeThinkSecret busts out another rumor, this time on Adobe and a trio of possible future releases. First up are some juicy tidbits about the next incarnation of Photoshop. Or should I say incarnations? Following in the brilliant footsteps of Macromedia (who'd a thunk?), the next version of CS may come in Standard and Premium editions. Personally, I hate the fact that Flash now comes in two flavors. Why not just create a seperate, truly beginner-level app? Was Elements really that bad? Oh, yeah, it was.

Anyway, according to the article, CS3 will boast a slew of killer new features. Rumors of a rotatable canvas ala Painter (for tablet users), better non-destructive image editing, and a revamped interface are mentioned. There's also talk of more advanced perspective and sorta 3d-related tools... Which brings us to the another rumored product: Acrobat 3D.

Acrobat 3D has scant few details, but might be a sort of "all purpose" 3D image viewer. The cost is supposedly upwards of $1,000! The last product, Full Frame, has no info but the box cover. Huh. I'm still waiting for Adobe to do something with Atmosphere again...
