The Professional's Choiceby BlueStarStudios - August 23, 2006
Pros: Near infinite possibilties, professional editing, this software is the choice for image editing
Cons: Slow load time, occasional bugs, expensive
Review:
Photoshop is used by professionals far and wide for one reason: it produces professional results. Photoshop can do things that Paint Shop Pro or the GIMP can't. If you're a home user, however, you might prefer Paint Shop Pro or a freeware image editor. Photoshop wasn't designed for people who aren't serious about graphics.

ATTENTION BEGINNERS! This is not a soft that you can buy and in a month become a master. As I look through all the bad comments it seems that there are quite a few complaints about the soft and how it works vs how it worked. (burn tool won't work from Anonymous) They seem to be ESO issues. Equipment Smarter than Operator. Case in point-the burn tool has NEVER worked directly on the vector shapes until you rasterized it....so duplicate the layer,rasterize it, and then use the burn tool. Soooo hard. See what I mean? People so often blame the soft, the designers, or the company when the answer is right there is front of them but their patience has already left the building... It was worth the upgrade just for the Brushes palette/interface. Now the brushers react just like in Painter.

Ho-Hum! Adobe just keeps borrowing from other innovating graphic applications and then trying to encase those innovations within their must-have-because-they-are-industry-standard-applications. The rule: If you have to do your commercial work and you don't care if it looks,steril, flat cartoonish,and like everybody else's work-Photoshop and Illustrator. If you want to approach digital art with style,rhythm,naturalness, and fluidity-Paiter, Expression.

Great graphics program, the new options on it is great. However it takes up a lot of memory, the program would only run good if you have a computer with specs that surpasses the minimal requirments, or the programs runs at an unbelievable speed. The program is also very stable. I work as a photo editor and I find the program pretty easy to use. Also the help section can answer most of the simple problems and some of the more advance functions. It's way more useful than Photoshop elements 2, I tired that earlier and it was horrible. Then I used Photoshop 7. Also it works very well with all the other Adobe programs which beats the Microsoft photo editor. I really recommand the upgrade. Especially if you are into webdesigning and photo editing.

Essential upgrade for graphics professionalsby - October 1, 2002
Pros:
Cons:
Review:
Regardless of what the review says, the enhancements introduced in Photoshop 7 make this an essential tool for a graphics professional. There are several new tools introduced, a streamlined workspace that places tool-specific setting on-screen with no lose of space, a re-vamped text engine that can do spell checking in multiple languages (the least of many improvements), an unbelievable custom brush engine with virtually unlimited creative possibilities, and so much more that it can't all be mentioned here. Hands down the best upgrade i have seen since i started with version 4. If all that wasn't enough, not once has it locked up or crashed on me, even when working with multiple files in excess of 100MB each. By the way, if, as the review says, several of the new enhancements should have been there before, then why would you consider their addition a "let-down"? yeah, well... whatever.

I have been designing my initial designs for web sites in Photoshop for years. I was jumping for joy over some of the new features which no one seems to be mentioning. The use of slices and the included ImageReady to output individually optimized files from a single template file along with the HTML code to fit it all together, cuts my work time by half. As for people's complaints of PS being a memory hog and running slowly, I have in installed on Win98 with 366MHz CPU with 192MB RAM, and it works just fine, and I often work with files in excess of 70MB.

Almost the same as Photoshop 6by - September 15, 2002
Pros:
Cons:
Review:
With the minimal changes from PS6, one would expect this to have been PS 6.1. I found it quite easy to mimic some of the much touted features such as the healing brush in PS6. As for the automatic color correction, the "auto curves/levels" on the curves or levels tool has done a better job for me every time, specially with skin tones. Resizing and unsharp masking seem to take longer on PS7, but I could be mistaken. After a week with PS7, I'm convinced that it isn't worth the money (and a LOT of it, at that). Too expensive, too little. Sorry Adobe.

Worthy Upgrade. Saves lots of Production time!!!by - September 12, 2002
Pros:
Cons:
Review:
MY, my, my. Saw a product demo...ordered it the same day. I do lots of photo restoration and retouching, and the HEALING BRUSH tool alone has been worth the price of admission! It has saved me lots of time, and that has made me lots of MONEY$$$$$$$. It works great. I only wish Adobe could add variable pressure or density to the tool. 7 IS slower and more resource intensive, but if you're using it in the 1st place you should have the horsepower on your computer to use it. After all, it is a PROFESSIONAL tool for professionals-so get professional quality tools and capability to use it! (A fast processor and LOTS of memory....don't even try at under 500mb. Dabblers and advanced amateurs can use Phtoshop Elements and get everything they need. But for the working pro...everytime I've tried to use another imge editing program, I run into something that I can only do, or do better, in Photoshop. Learning curve is STEEP! Expect to spend a lot of late nights woodshedding to learn it. Take a few classes or seminars, go online, talk to other pros....you'll get there. And remember, there is no one "best" way to do anything in Photoshop, each person has their own needs, and only Photoshop is huge enough to meet them all. Don't buy a Ferrari if you only need a Kia...but if you want to go to the edge of your capabilities, Photoshop will exceed them all. And to all those people who say it is too slow to get around the interface, how about learning how to use the KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS!! It'll speed your way around the program like you wouldn't believe....

"That much for THIS?" is what I thought to myself after purchasing and loading the product. Ok ok, so we have to give them SOME credit, but Photoshop 7 is just not what I'd hoped for. I know that it is a professional piece of work, but ther interface is complicated and not quite beginner-friendly. Starting the program was a chore and took far to long, whereas much more exciting and fun programs could do the same but for less $. The only one good improvement was the Age-Deduction tool, that came in very handy with my Sony DCP-P51, my new digital camera. I'm just waiting for the next Photoshop, Photoshop 8 which should be more interesting, simpler to use and easier to perform original tasks.

way more complicated than it needs to be. Unless you're a harcore graphics designer, or are limited to the Mac platform, get Paint Shop Pro instead. With a couple plugin used tastefully, It's just as good, and a much more understandable interface. I think Adobe would've done good to take a headsup from the Macromedia MX interface, the huge undockable panels are annoying in MS Windows (for some reason not as bad on the Mac). At least this program is extremely stable on WindowsXP. Last, what are all those Pentium III requirements about? My lowly Celeron 400mhz w/WinXP chews through this program, not quite as fast as PSP7, but still plenty good enough. Just the intitial load is a real bear.

I admit that I am a devout PS user and purchased the upgrade sight unseen. True, some things have moved but like with ver.6 you will find a little retraining is for the better. My first attempt I fumbled around a bit but I have come to appreaciate the enhancements. Being able to change brush sizes on the fly with only one right click as apposed to right clicking selecting edit brush then changing the size. Bla..Bla..Bla. That one little enhancement has already payed for the software. It's in the details which Adobe has tended to quite well in my oppinion.

I am a commercial design worker, and have a lot of experience using digital image editing software. It seems to me, however, that Photoshop is simply not worth the price Adobe demands. For hundreds less you can buy Jasc's Paint Shop Pro, which outperforms Photoshop in every aspect except print proofing. If you are a professional printing company, use Photoshop if you like. If you're creating web graphics or paying somebody else to print for you, Paint Shop is by far the better buy, especially if you are not experienced with Photoshop. Ease of use, more powerful vector effects, and awesome price all make Paint Shop Pro the designers choice.

I've been using Photoshop since version 3 and it is getting better every time with a new release. However, the prog. is getting more and more complex and if I would have to start learning it from scratch today I'm not sure it would be my choice for a lot of work that I have to do. There are a lot of people around who wouldn't touch it since it takes too long to learn how to use it and a truck load of money to buy it. Wouldn't be a bad idea if it was a bit more modular where the features would be hidden and activated only when in advanced mode. For a lot of work it is an overkill app. However for compatibility it is the only game in town. The last edition V7.0 is another upgrade that is on the same path as before, it needs more resources, more knowledge, more time and more money.

If you've been stuck with 5.5, even tho 6.x is out, you might wanna update to this one. Then again, you might not if you do digital painting. It's all the same stuff... just polished to look shinier.

Who cares if there are not that many new-great-must have features within Photoshop. It is carbonized and will run natively in OS X. That is all that is really important. I am sure there are a ton of people who have not converted to OS X just because of Photoshop. As for me, I agree that there isn't enough new things to justify an upgrade, but the fact that it is OS X compatible makes up for it. I am sick and tired of running Photoshop in OS 9 inside of OS X. It causes so many little annoying errors. Why was there no mention of the "heal" tool in the review?

The interface simply rocks. The new tools are awsome, especially the healing brush, the file browser (i don't want acdc, it's terribly slow compare to file browser and this one is design to work only for photoshop) and the tools preset. There is so much little new stuff like new layer opacity style and new anti-alias type option just to name a them. It's also the best app running in osX yet. Defenetly worth the upgrade!

This is a great program, and my first reccomendation if you are looking for a high-quality image editor, but if you already have PS6.0 you are probably fine.

If anyone here is familiar with ACDSystems image viewing/editing program ACDSee, than you're already very familiar with the quick style of picture viewing we find in Adobe's newest update. Did Adobe 'borrow' this idea or is it a coincidence? For those of you who are NOT familiar with ACDSee, I highly reccomend downloading the trial from www.acdsystems.com and you'll see why its a hard program for anyone who deals with many pictures to do without.

Where is the inovation?by - April 16, 2002

I use PhotoShop6 and I am trying out PhotoShop-Beta-ver.7 and no doubt it is a great photo retouching program. Now, I am not one of those people who is afraid to say something bad about Photoshop like most reviewers are. It is not the only program that I use so I can see and think outside the PhotoShop box. Ever closely look at those images in magazines? You can usually tell the work that was done with PhotoShop. It is work that is precise, surgical and devoid of the artist that created the work. As for that fellow that claimes that Painter and Illustrator will be redundant, let me remind you that PhotoShop, even with its lack of innovations is the best program for photo retouching, but not the best program for a creative artist. The program is getting more complex and much harder to use. Notice the concept of layers and see how unnecessarily complicated this has been made. If it keeps getting more complicated than it already is, start seeing yourself spending hours to compose a simple piece of work. The people at "Adobe" must remenber that time is an importatant element that should be factor in when they want us to work with their applicantions. But "Adobe" is more concerned in keeping the status quo and not changing a money making formula.

Two Words -=Healing Brush=-by - April 16, 2002

This tool is a real time saver. I have to say this single tool has cut the time it takes to retore a photo. When just using the stamp tool. You would sometime get a pastey look to you picture. Now it a lot easier to accomplish the correct look.

The image editing standard takes one more step forward. Someday will make Painter and Illustrator redundant.

Without no doubt, Photoshop 7.0 is the best graphic programby - April 8, 2002

-Features- Photoshop has now a great feature, the file browser... With this, you can browse your pictures easily seeing thumbnails and you can modify them such as rotate them or others. It has a Healing Brush and Patch tool too. They're almost the same. The Healing Brush is like the Stamp Tool but it keeps the same luminosity so it's different. If you want to see how it works, go on the official website : http://www.adobe.com For people who wanted to set the size of brushes but they couldn't, in this new version, you can. There is a whole new palette just for brushes... -Interface- Photoshop always had a great interface but I think this one will be a little bit better since Windows XP is out. -Ease of use- For those who are new to photoshop, it may be tough to use on first view, but when you have done a couple oif tutorials, you can understand effects and you can know how it works. -Stability- I have Photoshop 6.0 and it's stable... even with Windows Millenium, But now, I have XP so it's even more stable! If you are interested to see movies on how the new features are working, there's only one site! http://www.adobe.com
