Summary: more than just an upgrade
Review: This is more than just an upgrade. P7 is a serious improvement and will help spur marketkplace acceptance of digital cameras, because now you will be able to do edits faster.Adobe continues to release products to market that solve real problems, faster. The integration with the other products is also nice. P7 is by far the most useful. You can do so many things with it; you won't reget getting this product.

Review: This latest version turns out to be a very pleasant suprise, and i would already find it difficult to return to vers 6.
The new interface is lovely, unlike some new software which looks like the interface was designed with three crayons.
The tweaks such as too the dialogue boxes was an unexpected bonus, as now much finer adjustments can be made, also new and more powerful curves features. dint personally see too much benefit from auto colours but i guess itll prove occasionally handy.
The file browser is long overdue, this was one major feature i always preferred from Corel Photopaint, and finally we have it in Photoshop, maybe four years too late but nonetheless usefull.
The major enhance ment for me is the ability to save tool settings, not least the Crop tool, each tool can be configured with customised settings, which means no more painful typing in the same settings 50 times a day. Again its a case of why didnt we have this in version 5, but better late than never.
The new tools are pretty cool, i love the patch tool, it literally has taken my breath away, magic is not the word. the healing brush isnt quite as user friendly and as obviously useful to me , but this will no doubt make a bit more sense after further use.
The pattern maker has proved to be quite interesting and can actually be used to create some new twists when tinkered with enough.
I find this version (running on XP) runs a little faster.
all in all worth the upgrade.
