"Producers of Photoshop content will now be able to bring an unprecedented measure of 3D quality and flexibility to their 2D artistry."
"I am very excited that the huge community of Adobe Photoshop users will now be able to take advantage of LightWave`s impressive rendering tools," said Stephen Burns, author of ?Advanced Photoshop CS3 Trickery & FX`. "They will find themselves well served by LightWave`s extended texture and lighting options that will bring an elevated degree of realism to their projects."
