I use 3d studio max 2008 (started with r4) and was wondering if I should upgrade my photoshop. I use photoshop cs2 to texture, post production on renders, masking and  background image preparation and all other 2d work. For what I do are the new features worth the money. I use Vegas for my video work does CS3 have any functions that would speed up that pipeline as well?

Thanks for all your info.

I would google to find out what the 'new and improved' features where back when they went from 2 to 3 and see how they would help you. Since they're up to CS4 now, I'm not sure how much money the previous version still would go for and if it would be worth it...

I went from CS to CS3, so I don't know about CS2 differences.

Apart from the 9 to CS release, I always skipped one. I have 3 now and although the improved 3D engine in CS4 is tempting, I keep telling myself these new features will only get better the longer we give Adobe to perfect them. So I'm skipping this one and go for 5 when it gets out...

Good luck with your decision and happy holidays!

Mike
