Summary: The best choice for Photo-editing!
Review: I will admit that this is not a easy to use application but if you want to become an expert, you have to go to a lesson class in graphics and photo-editing. It does pay off, the editing features of this program are amazing, for removing red eye giving pictures the best lighting and creating great photo-content. With new features for fixing photos such as the healing brush which I know a lot users will appreciate for removing wrinkles and other types facial problems in photos. You also have security with version 7.0 so people cannot steal your precious content or use dissrespectly with special water mark features and other secure and file protection stuff. A new file browser is in the product so you can find and select your photo-content easily. Over all for previous users of Photo-shop I recommend you upgrade, I highly recommend 5.0 & 5.5 users to upgrade most of all but for people who just purchased 6.0 wait about 3 to 6 month's and hear what everybody is saying. If you want to go in photo-graphics I highly recommend Photoshop 7.0 it's new and a little bit easier use. If you are a novice and new to Photo-editing stick with Photoshop elements.

Summary: Awesome program... many applications
Review: I'm a freshman in high school and had no expierience in Photoshop until I began. There, I quickly fell in love with the program. I've worked with 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0, and 7.0 is easily the best out of all of them.I'll agree with the other reviewers: it is hard to learn at first. But as soon as you begin to understand the concept of layers and get into the tools a little more, it's really quite an easy program to learn. There's a wide array of filters to change the look of your images, a variety of brushes, the healing tool (which is wonderful for touching up photos), and many others. I've edited my own photos and created graphics and banners for personal forays into web design. ImageReady is also a great tool for creating animated images, rollovers, and image maps, and also serves as a mini version of photoshop when you don't feel like booting up the whole thing. I also have Corel PhotoPaint 9 at home, and Photoshop is easily the superior product. Period.

Summary: Steep learning curve, but it's simply the best.
Review: The only remotely negative thing I can say about Photoshop 7 is, that if you're totally new to Photoshop, completely learning to use all of its myriad features effectively will be a very daunting task (to say the least). But, that could also be construed as a good thing about Photoshop. It's loaded with a plethora of very useful, very advanced features that other competitive products can't even touch. However, once you get a basic understanding of Photoshop's layers and basic tools, you can immediately get to work creatively modifying and enhancing your digital photos and doing graphic design. If you ARE new to Photoshop, I do recommend purchasing 3rd party training materials to gain an understanding of the features Photoshop has to offer. Chances are, if you're considering forking out the considerable cost for this product, than you probably have at least intermediate experience with Photoshop already. The new features of Photoshop 7 are extremely useful. There are new tools for photo enhancements (such as the unbelievable healing brush) as well as illustrating tools that finally turn Photoshop (in my opinion) to a one-stop graphic design studio. This comes with a fantastic training CD that takes you through the new features. It covers the new customizable paint brushes (which will blow your mind), the (soon-to-be my favorite tool) healing brush, the new file browser and all sorts of other things. This CD was so good, in fact, that I'm considering buying the whole training series for Photoshop. There is a reason Adobe Photoshop is the omnipresent software installed on every serious graphic designer's computer. It's simply the best, and everything else is a cheap knockoff. True, some cheaper packages do a reasonable job of imitating some of Photoshop's features-but none of them do as good of a job. Photoshop 7 just brings even more revolutionary, well-implemented features to the table, and puts more distance between itself and the wannabes. The bottom line is that if you're looking for the best photo editing software coupled with incredible graphic design tools, you've found it.

Summary: a wonderful creative software
Review: Adobe Photoshop 7 is the most creative software i have ever seen. It is soooooo easy to use ... and u will have fun working with it ... I have desiged a hole web template using the photoshop and the Imageready software that comes with it .... after finshing the design on the photoshop i switched to the imageready to animate the buttons i used in my website (using the rollovers) ... after that i exported the file to html format.
I also use the photoshop 7 to make wallpapers by mixing several photos, adding some filters and effects on them, some text and my signiture ..... i really have fun working on the photoshop especially the last version (7) i mean ... because of it's great file browser and it's new brush designs , not just that but much more ... in this version u can adjust the size of the brush that u make (that thing wasn't posible in the older versions). IT IS REALLY AMAZING

Summary: State of the Art
Review: Adobe sets the standard in imaging and graphics applications. I have been using Photoshop both for PC and Mac for over a year, and would not even consider using anything else. Yes, there is a learning curve as my fellow reviewers have noted. But, tutorial books on photoshop are plentiful. I would suggest taking a non-credit course at your local college or university to get the basics down. Photoshop features a vast array of tools for photo editing and you may become overwhelmed at first. You'll want to try everything! Play around with the artistic filters and amaze yourself. You can always undo any changes you make. This is a professional grade photo editing suite. If you are simply looking to touch up family snapshots, you may wish to consider Adobe's Photoshop Elements, which has several features found in Photoshop, but for less than half the price. Photoshop is truly a digital darkroom in a box!

Summary: Some problems with 7.0
Review: I have owned Photoshop in its various forms since its earliest versions. It is clearly my preferred picture editing tool, and I have owned many and continue to use a few others such as Picture It for particular tasks. So I affirm the positive comments on Photoshop's abilities. Some notes about the 7.0 release. The "healing tool" is a real time saver if you are working on restoring old slides. It has easily multiplied my productivity 3X on difficult pictures versus previous versions. Otherwise, I see no feature that is compelling enough to make someone upgrade from 5.5 or 6.0. The new tool particularly shines in situations in former versions where the standard technique of dust removal (rubber stamp tool was too tedious to use). The new healing tool does more than a simple rubber stamp and blur though that at first appears to be what it is doing. It is totally amazing- check it out in a store if you are skeptical about these accolades. Negative points- One reason I do not give a 5 star, and I really was thinking of giving this version a 3 star was a major major bug that can cause havoc on XP and windows 2000 systems. If you install and attempt to display a folder in thumbnail view, it would crash explorer. It is something that photoshop was installing, because once I removed the software, the system behaved fine again. If this happens to you, reinstall in safe mode (press f8 at boot). The 7.01 upgrade fix from the adobe site does not fix this bug, and it may have something to do with interactions with virus protection and firewall programs. Anyhow, Adobe's testing should have caught this high severity bug.

Review: I think that this is and ok program but not a very powerful one. If you wont a powerful program go to this web site www.imagener.com/se/gc and get a program called Kneson imagener and you can get it in pro or standard version. And Adobe photoshop i rate it a 4/10 and the Kneson imagener a 8/10. SO, Go and get Kneson imagener NOW, Before its to LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: One of the greatest inventions ever.
Review: Everybody talks of Photoshop simply as software. But it's implications in the modern day digital world are huge. Photoshop as an invention has been as influential as the light bulb, because it has changed our perception of reality. Today, every time we look at an image, say it's on a website, a magazine, television or any printed media, we wonder or contemplate the posibility of how much "Photoshopped" the image is. In the popular realm Photoshop can create crazy aberrations that are at times fun, and to the trained eye you can detect just where the editing took place. But in the hands of experts, we can just wonder how much media images have been manipulated without us ever noticing. What Photoshop has done over the years is to democratize digital image editing, something that was one time limited to high end image labs and pros. Photoshop has no real learning curve, because it's progressive. The thing is that if you're intrested, go for it, there are hundreds of learning resources available (tutorials included with the software are complete and comprehensive). Photoshop is a must have tool.
