hi john, not sure if anyones already said this yet but welcome to the forum :)

i use CS3 extended @ the office but haven't really pushed the 3D aspect of it yet so i can't offer alot of pointers but i am very pleased adobe is seeing the need to integrate some of these types of feature sets into PS.

i only hope there doesn't become too many different flavours of PS :)
*(it's hard enough to keep up with the different ways photoshop can be used, and everyones unique needs!!!)
