maybe no-one has CS3 PS extended yet.., but when you do.., and you look under the bonnett.., you will find another quantum leap in graphics app.
what it means for 3D and Maya.., i have no idea, thats why I asked if anyone had any thoughts on this quantum leap.
we have the ability to composite and render sequance images within PS CS3., it has near the power of After Effects
the first (the above message) is one i sent to my lecturer and pasteed here instead of re-writtting
take it easy and life will be easy
