What?s Unique to Photohop Extended?

Take the Red Pill or the Blue Pill?

John Nack, Photoshop Product Manager, talks about what is unique to Photoshop CS3 Extended in a post on his Adobe blog. Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended has EVERYTHING the regular Photoshop CS3 has plus extended functionality designed for certain professions that needed even more stuff.
Now, everybody in the “know” knows that the code name for Photoshop CS3 was Red Pill (as in “take the red pill” from the movie Matrix).

But not everybody knows that at least for a time, Photoshop CS3 Extended was code named “Extra Strength”. So, to me, that means Photoshop CS3 Extended was the “Blue Pill”…so, I kinda think of Photoshop CS3 Extended as the “Viagra Version” of Photoshop CS3.
By the way, when preparing the image above, the blue colored version of the pill image from the alt splash screen really punches up Joe Kelter’s Big Electric Cat image (seen to the left of the blue pill).

The cat’s name was UDO and made its debut as the alt screen of Photoshop 4. You can check out the full Evolution of the Photoshop Splash Screens. PhotoshopNews will updating the feature story for Photoshop CS3 and Extended when they ship.
