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.
