Photoshop CS3 Performance vs. CS2

Turns out that the results are pretty much the same - it flies at about the same speed on both the PowerMac G5s and the Intel cores. This is in keeping with the general truth that a G5's GHz is about the same as a C2D Ghz.

Very interesting and thanks for the heads up. I heard reports about Amazing speed increases over the PPC version. I think what maybe happening is they are using CS2 with Rosetta then going to CS3 and of course it flys in comparison. Thanks again for the test.

How about tests with Applying Filters and other effects.

No but they can free up creative people that are trapped by what their pc would allow them to do.

I wouldn't know where to look for a piece of PC software to do a slideshow and add a piece of music. But it came with my imac.

Now my head is full of great things I want to do on my imac that I never dreamed of on my PC.

If by 'PC', you mean Windows, then that ability comes with the Windows OS as well. You can do that with Windows Movie Maker.
It works on pretty much the same principle as iMovie does.
