I purchased PSCS3 Extended because it looked like it would really be great.

I’m an architect and I was really looking forward to the measurement tool… I have to measure things off of job site pics all the time.

I have to say the measurement tool in PSCS3 Extended is deeply disappointing… it’s so primitive feeling and basically kinda useless.

I should be able to more easily display change the way the measurements are given… if I want it in inches it’s kind of awkward the way it currently works.

I should be able to highlight an area with the marquee tool and have it tell me the area quickly… it’s just really not what I was hoping for. If the developers of Pshop are listening… please get this up to the level I’ve come to expect from Pshop – I’ve been using Photoshop since 1990… after 18 years I still don’t have an easy way to measure something in a picture. 😕 What are you guys doing?

Also, I do some web work, and want to edit .gifs
I SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT PSCS3 CANNOT HELP ME EDIT ANIMATED GIFS!?!!? COME ON!!!! PLEASE!!! I can now open an .mov file… and edit THAT… but NOT AN ANIMATED GIF?! PSCS3 costs HOW MUCH?!

So I found an absolutely free program on the web that basically makes PSCS3 look like a joke when it comes to editing animated .gifs… this is to Adobe’s shame.

Hope you guys can fix this in the next version.

I used to tell everyone… "the only progam I work in that is near perfect is Photoshop" well… someone’s let me down this time around… deeply.

Lastly, your forums are a mess, and also very primitive. Has Adobe become so big now that it’s becoming clumsy and obsolete?

I have VERY high expectations from you…

See the banner at the top of the page? It says ‘user to user forums’. You wont find many adobe representatives here… But you could always try posting in the Feature Request area.

We are fellow users here, not Adobe.

But I share your disappointment.

PS doesn’t make my coffee in the morning either (and it costs how much?)

Try <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c051d0a> for opening animated GIFs. For the measure tool, make sure your rulers are in the correct unit. In your prefs. Area, and you’ll need the histogram window to tell you the pixel count. Do the math from there.

It does. Just set your measurement tool first. (like 300 pixels =10 cm). Select your area, then Shift+Control +M. Photoshop displays the area (with lots of other info) in the measurement palette.

No pitchforks. Just a pair of pliers to remove the corncob.

Is that for PSEx only, Charles?

AFAIK, Yes.
I work with neuro-biology research scientists; the analysis/measurement features of PS CS3-EX have come in pretty handy.
