I withhold my judgment of Photoshop 7.0 until I use the shipping version. Actually, I just wanted to correct a mis-statement by mugsworth a few posts back: Aldus ImageStyler was NEVER Adobe Photoshop. Aldus and Adobe were competing companies. For example, Aldus FreeHand (now owned by Macromedia) competed with Adobe Illustrator. Aldus ImageStyler was a Windows 3.1 clone that tried to take the tiny Windows graphics market before Adobe could port Photoshop over from the Mac. You see, at that time, Photoshop was Mac only, and Windows blew chucks in every way possible (opps... did I use the past tense?). Anyhow, Aldus tanked against Adobe and sold ImageStyler to ULead Systems... in effect becoming ULead PhotoImpact. ULead PhotoImpact is up to version 7 and it has evolved into a very capable, sub-$100 program. Hey... before turning freelance, I had the graphics beat at PC World.
