Adobe Photoshop 7
Adobe
has released Photoshop 7.0 an update of their
professional image-editing program for creating, editing, and retouching
images that can be used in all media, including print, the Web, and wireless
devices.
The changes and additions in this new version can be found throughout
the application, from the look, feel, and content of the application interface
to support for Mac OS X and Windows XP (the latest versions of Mac and
Microsoft Windows operating systems). Some of these changes are major,
while some are simply cosmetic. But, from the ground up, a revised architecture,
new control windows, and an overhauled paint engine enhance the power
of the program. New retouching tools and enhanced Web features round out
Photoshop's capabilities to meet any creative or production demand and
handle any image-editing task. Some of the new components of the upgrade
have revitalized dialog boxes and enhanced workflow capabilities. The
centerpieces include the File Browser to visually identify and open images;
the Healing Brush and Patch tool to restore distressed images; the Auto Color
command for instant, reliable color correction; a customizable and savable
workspace; and a Spell Checker and Search and replace features.
