This put Apple in a tough spot: having to rely on another software company in order to gain widespread adoption of their latest operating system. Many Mac users wouldn’t even consider switching to Apple’s new operating system until a fully compatible version of Photoshop was available. (After reading the review, find out more: Discover the Top 7 Photoshop 7 Tips PDF.)īut this version really isn’t as much about new features as it is about supporting Mac OS X. No doubt the standout feature in this release of Photoshop is the Healing Brush, a sort of intelligent clone stamp tool the incredibly helpful File Browser comes in a close second. To add some perspective, the recently released After Effects included a comparable amount of features and OS support, yet was appropriately labeled After Effects 5.5. It’s even rumored that early builds carried this version number. In truth, this release really should’ve been considered Photoshop 6.5, not 7.0. When comparing the features in this release to the laundry list packed in Photoshop 6.0 or even 5.0, one has to wonder if marketing now deems what version number a release should be. Although there are some noteworthy features that will no doubt save you countless hours, for the first time in a long time, you can practically add up all the features in a new Photoshop upgrade using just your hands (not your feet). Unfortunately, with the release of Photoshop 7, there’s not a lot to write home about. Whenever a new version of Photoshop comes around, I look forward to exploring and uncovering the newly added features and to figuring out how I can exploit them in my day-to-day work.
