I know there are a lot of Photoshop users on this forum and I thought I'd open a discussion on Photoshop CS3. I bought it in order to be able to open and work with and export various movie formats, but have run in to a couple of unexpected issues. The biggest one I've found so far -- after I got over the hurdle of installing it -- is the fact that Photoshop CS3 cannot open animated GIF files into layers for animation! In CS2 you could do this through the Imageready software that was bundled with Photoshop, but apparently they are no longer developing Imageready. Adobe's helpful suggestion for opening animated GIFs into layers? Buy Fireworks. Argh!

So -- if you upgrade -- don't uninstall CS2 and Imageready if you want to import animated GIFs!

You want ULTIMATE stupidity.

Premiere 6.5 - just over 5 years old...great product.

No version since has been able to do batch rendering ( which is a SERIOUS problem ) nor has any version since allowed you to change the settings of a project once started. It's gone BACKWARDS. Sometimes I use Adobe as a swear word at work. Don't be such an Adobe. That's a load of Adobe. What the Adobe is that. Or just, 'Oh ADOBE!'

I mean - that's worse than 3ds Max - which during my time using it has gone from 2.5, to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 2008...and to be honest - I've not noticed any significant change from edition to edition. But at least it's not gone BACKWARDS!!!!
