Adobe Photoshop CS3 Beta is available for immediate public download via this link, right here on Softpedia. Photoshop CS 3 is the only product out of the upcoming Creative Suite 3 that is made available by Adobe Systems for download as a public beta. The rest of the Adobe Creative Suite 3 is scheduled for availability in the spring of 2007.

"The next generation of the professional standard in digital imaging, Adobe Photoshop CS3 delivers new tools and enhancements that enable you to work more productively, edit with unrivaled power, and composite with breakthrough ease and control," revealed Adobe.

Currently, there are two versions of the product. Photoshop CS 3 Beta for Macintosh (DMG, 685 MB) and for Windows (EXE, 337 MB). Although Adobe promises that Photoshop CS3 for Windows can be used for a two day trial period, we here at Softpedia have experienced difficulties in installing the product in this manner. "A licensed copy of Photoshop CS2, Creative Suite 2, Production Studio, Adobe Web Bundle, or Adobe Video Bundle is required to use this technology beyond a two-day trial period. After installation you will be prompted to enter a CS3 beta serial number for Photoshop," stated Adobe.

Photoshop CS 3 Beta is available exclusively in English and a trial product key can be obtained via this link provided that you already have a key for one of the products of Creative Suite 2.

"Please note that a beta is, by definition, an unfinished product that may or may not include all the features and functionality that will appear in the final release. And while some may find the quality appropriate for use in a production environment, the beta is not final-release quality and should not be used for critical work. Adobe does not offer technical support for the Photoshop CS3 beta," explained Adobe.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 was tested by Softpedia as being 100% Clean and is available for download here.
