What a difference this beta makes. Sure that are tons of cool new features, but running photoshop natively on an Intel Mac is ten fold better, maybe more. I hear a lot of people complaining about the new icons, but I like them for their simplicity, Ps means Photoshop, got it?

I really like the new palette system as well, everything seems flexible enough to suit everyone’s needs. Not to mention it isn’t overwhelming. There is also a nice way to keep whatever you are working on from going behind the palettes. Just click on the bottom button in the new toolbar and select maximize screen mode.

The biggest difference is how quick everything moves. It loads quicker, handles documents quicker, and looks prettier. If you are worried about getting a beta version, worry no more, this beta is more stable than CS2 ever was.
