As has been mentioned in some other threads, there are plug-ins on the way to give CS3E's 3D aspects greater functionality. But of course: doing so involves spending more cash.

I now have CS3E. But if I had been in the position of a brand-new Photoshop purchaser: then I probably wouldn't have considered CS3E's $1000 price tag to be worth the additional expense over plain-vanilla CS3. As a $349 upgrade from CS -- it wasn't too bad. Yeah -- I'd probably balk over shelling out $1000 for CS3E in its current form. The program would need to offer some big advantages over plain CS3 to be worth that kind of extra money. The way things look right now, those "big advantages" will only become available to a CS3E user when that user is willing to spend some more cash for plug-ins.
