Like I said...this weekend I hope. I really want to see if all the hype about OS X is real or not. Of course the apps have to be well produced too. But right now GraphicConverter isn't the app that'll prove that to me...

Photoshop 7 will include a number of new tools intended to make it easier to manipulate and manage digital photographs.
Healing Brush, for example, is a photo-retouching tool that interprets detailed data from the area surrounding the portion of the photo being altered, allowing for smoother touch-ups, said Kevin Connor, director of product management for Adobe's digital imaging division. The File Browser tool will provide thumbnail images and detailed information on all images in a given folder, making it easier for people to find the image they want.
"One of the things we found as we looked at digital photography is that there's been a proliferation of images," Connor said. "There's no extra cost to taking photos with a digital camera, so you take a lot, and you end up having all these files to sort through on your hard drive."
Other new features in Photoshop 7 will include:
? A revamped painting engine that simulates effects such as pastel or watercolor and allows software users to define and save brushstroke attributes.
? A patch tool that automatically fixes scratches and other flaws in scanned images.
? Support for XMP, the open standard developed by Adobe for displaying information about an image's attributes.
? Integration with AlterCast, Adobe's new networked image-management program.
? Expanded ImageReady tools for creating and manipulating Web page elements.
Photoshop 7 will sell for $609. An upgrade from a previous version will cost $149, or $499 for those upgrading from Photoshop Elements or Photoshop LE, stripped-down versions of the program mainly intended for photography hobbyists.

I will hopefully get them this weekend and "evaluate" them.
