Posted a reply, but didn't show... The effects panel is about 630 by 430 pixels, that's pretty big for a panel. I don't see a way of resizing it unless I missed something. That little preview box is pretty useless, you want to see the pic, not that little box. How you apply adjustment layers changed aswell from 5.5 to 6. Now when you choose and adjustment layer from the bottom of the layers palette it doesn't let you choose anymore if you want to group it. You have to close the settings window, group the layer, then open up it's settings window again. You have to pick an adjustment layer from the layer menu for the option window to pop up. I know, little things they change but they add up. If it ain't broke then don't try to fix it right?:) And if you work in PS for hours every day, it gets annoying. And it's a shame because some of the features they add are useful, and you use them more then once every 3 months, but they don't leave what works alone just so they can say, look we changed over 500 things in this new version...
