+Earlier today Adobe released a new version of Photoshop, the flagship photo editing tool in Creative Suite 3. While Photoshop CS3 boast some impressive new features like non-destructive filters, greatly enhanced selection tools and tighter integration with other Adobe applications, for the burgeoning world of amateur photographers storming the net on sites like Flickr and Photobucket, the new Photoshop may not be as essential as it once was.
+
+Five years ago if you wanted to do anything more than dodge out some red eye and resize your images, Photoshop was the only answer. But with the declining price of digital cameras and the rise in online photo sharing websites as the primary output, Photoshop's dominance has slipped.
+
+Today's shutterbug isn't sending their output to printers that require high resolution and complicated color matching, they're posting their images online and in some cases even editing them online.
+
+What was once the sole domain of Photoshop is now available to many users through online tools like Phixer and Adobe's own recently announced Photoshop online. Others rely on free desktop apps like Apple's iPhoto and Google's Picasa. 
+
+These days, says consummate shutterbug Scott Beale of Laughing Squid, "the average person is using something like iPhoto or Picasa or even the software that came with their camera." 
+
+For many the size and complexity of Photoshop have always made it a daunting prospect, but this fact is not lost on Adobe. Photoshop CS3 is the first Intel native version of the app to run on the Macintosh platform and performance improvements are dramatic. 
+
+Startup times are greatly reduced and complex rendering tasks such as applying filters now much faster. 
+
+In addition to speed and performance gains, many of the new features in Photoshop CS3 address some of the concerns of those who have previously found the complexity of the app overwhelming. 
+
+The entire palette system has been streamlined and shrunk down, palettes are now collapsed by default and leave a much larger workspace for image files. 
+
+Many of the design changes reflect Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia. 
+
+John Nack, senior product manager for Photoshop, says Adobe was already in the process of redesigning Photoshop's palettes when the company bought Macromedia. "We liked what the Macromedia Studio apps were doing with palettes, so when the companies got together it worked out beautifully."
+
+In addition to streamlining the interface and making it easier to use, Adobe has continued to improve the non-destructive editing capabilities in Photoshop CS3. Filters, for instance, have become non-destructive, easily applied as layer add-ons and then removed if you change your mind.
+
+While probably not the direct inspiration for the increased non-destructive editing tools, photo sharing sites certainly encourage experimentation and revision based on public feedback. The new filters-as-layers workflow makes it easier to go back and correct images when your fellow Flickr users reject your late night inspiration.
+
+Online sites like Flickr have also given rise to a new market of Photoshop users. While the application remains perhaps too expensive and complex for the casual user, it continues to grow in popularity among users who previously might have been content to go straight to a professional photo lab.
+
+The rise of the "middle class photographer," the photographer who may not make a living selling their images, but who are serious enough to buy top end cameras and editing programs has created a new and largely untapped market, what camera manufacturers call the "prosumer."
+
+Jan Kabili, author of seven Photoshop books, who frequently teaches photoshop seminars says, "now when I teach I get a new breed, semi-pros, people who might to shoot their friends' weddings or local soccer games... these people who in the past might have built their own darkrooms, now turn to Photoshop."
+
+But the middle class photographer has different goals and tends not to spend so much time on any one photograph, but focuses instead on batch processing. More and more of these photographers are turning to software like Apple's Aperture which allows for general editing and batch processing rather than the fine grained image adjustments of Photoshop.
+
+Adobe has recognized this shift. Nask says, "we've recognized for a long time that we need to evolve in the direction of being much more multiple image savvy." 
+
+To that end Adobe recently launched Lightroom, its Aperture competitor. Adobe's Nack, concedes that "a lot of photographers are going to come to spend the bulk of their time, in terms of selecting images and also editing them, in Lightroom." 
+
+But Photoshop CS3 ships with a new version Bridge which incorporates most of the tools found in Lightroom and introduces a few nice touches Lightroom lacks, including a magnifying loupe for inspecting image details in place.
+
+The chief difference between Lightroom and Bridge is that Lightroom only handles image files and includes database driven sorting and organizing tools not found in Bridge.
+
+Noah Kaline, a professional photographer whose everyday photo montage video is one of the most viewed items on YouTube, says that the number one reason to upgrade has nothing to do with Photoshop. "The real improvement is Bridge -- it's much faster and the Camera RAW conversion is much better."
+
+Another pro photographer, Lane Hartwell, echos Kaline's opinion, "Photoshop has been an essential part of my workflow, but actually I use less of it now that I have been using Bridge to work with my RAW files. I can do most everything I want there without opening Photoshop."
+
+Beale says he works almost entirely in Aperture, "It saves me a lot of time, I can process my images and upload directly to the web with the Flickr export plugin." 
+
+Many were surprised that neither Bridge nor Photoshop ships with an built in online sharing tools. There is, however, a revamped and improved plugin architecture in Bridge that will allow outside developers to build tools that leverage online services -- much like the Flickr plugin for Aperture.
+
+Adobe sees the apps as complimentary. Bridge handles basic edits, batch processing and organizational tasks, while Photoshop is the more refined editing program for those that want to go further with their images. "There are plenty of cases where people really want to fine tune an image and that's where Photoshop really shines," Nack says
+
+Still, Beale finds "there's no need for Photoshop -- unless you're doing a tremendous amount of post processing."
+
+Indeed post processing is where Photoshop has always shined and the new version is no exception. Standout new features include sophisticated new selection tools, photo stitching abilities that work to adjust exposure discrepancies and a new black and white conversion tool with live previews.
+
+Adobe has also recognized that there is growing market of scientific and medical uses for Photoshop and CS3 sees the introduction of a new, Extended version of Photoshop that includes an analysis menu packed with tools designed to help researchers analyze images.
+
+For the professional photographer Photoshop remains the tool of choice. Noah Kaline says "if you weren't a professional, and cost was a concern, Photoshop might not be the best choice, but to me it is the only choice."
