When we ran Photoshop's Web-page-builder macro (which creates an HTML document from a directory of images and saves it locally) on a directory of 77 files, we saw a 35 percent jump-a mere 30-second difference.Īdobe's bundled sister app, ImageReady, boasts a few small improvements of its own, including updates to the Rollovers palette. In our casual tests on a dual-processor Athlon XP 1900+ system, application load time increased by about only 25 percent-roughly six-tenths of a second. Thankfully, the new features don't require much more system overhead. The Auto Color adjustment tool, for its part, essentially removes color casts from your photos, such as the green hue caused by fluorescent lights, and fixes the tonal range. For instance, though we couldn't quite restore the bloom to an old photo of a rose, we easily took a few days off its age.

The Healing Brush makes quick and seemingly magical work of erasing wrinkles, minor skin defects, and other small flaws. To that end, version 7.0 adds two interesting tools to its image-editing arsenal. Surprisingly, Photoshop also lacks a velocity control option that would allow brush size and similar parameters to work with your painting speed.Įven so, Adobe hasn't lost sight of Photoshop's primary purpose: image editing. For example, although Photoshop supports the Wacom Intuos2 tablet (with which we tested the software), the program could use a summary view of which tools and effects you've customized to respond to stylus pressure or tilt.
And, despite the Brushes palette's newfound flexibility, it could use a few more improvements.
With Photoshop, your paint doesn't have any viscosity, so the results look fairly flat. With all these improvements, Photoshop's brushes are still no match for Painter's. Better still, the Brushes palette now lets you set many more dynamic brush parameters, including jitter, color, and shape. The result is a more real-world painting experience than before. Like Corel's realistic painting implements in Procreate Painter, Photoshop's improved tools now let you vary hue, opacity, and flow for brushes such as pastels, oils, and charcoal. You'll appreciate the aforementioned Workspaces, especially once you try Photoshop's slightly updated paint engine with its full-on brushes palette. A Windows Explorer-like file browser, similar to the Photoshop Elements file-management system, provides a welcome, if somewhat overdue, way to sort and locate your projects: the new browser lets you organize projects by name, date, resolution, and a number of additional parameters. If you don't own an earlier version and want the best image editor on the market-or need it to run on OS X-version 7.0 is the best of the bunch.Īlong the same lines, you can now save custom tool-palette layouts as Workspaces so that you no longer have to recustomize palettes every time you open a project.

But, as far as graphics apps go, Photoshop is still the best, most sophisticated image-editing software available.

For the first time, we're not convinced that every Photoshop devotee and graphics professional must upgrade. Hence, Photoshop 7.0's perfunctory, should-have-been-there-earlier enhancements, such as the new file browser and updated paint engine, are a bit of a letdown. Witness: Photoshop 4.0 unveiled Layers and Actions Photoshop 5.0 brought us the History Palette and Layer Styles Photoshop 6.0 introduced Shapes.
