Very pretty! Thank you muchly, and one question, did you have CS2 before? I was wondering because I want to hear your opinion on CS3 :D

Yes I did have CS2 before.

Do you think CS3 better? (Just want to hear it from someone who has it) :)

I love CS3! The start up time is a lot faster than CS2. Plus I love the new interface. The toolbars are slightly different. I was annoyed with it at first but it lets you switch back to the old one if you like. You also have the option to have more space where you can go (space + tab) and the toolbars go away and you can see what you are doing.

There's a couple of new tools I haven't tried them all out yet but my favorite has to be quick selection. Erasing backgrounds is so much easier now. :)

There's also a better way to turn images into black and white, which I love.

The animation is combined into one now so you don't have to switch programs. The only thing I don't like about the animation is when I open a .gif it doesn't open up into selected layers. I think it did that in CS2 before, I'm not sure though. Maybe I need to get used to it some more.
