I'm using 6 and 7. They needed room for their new Healing Brush tool and Patch tool (making new options more visible) and demoted the airbrush (like it is less important now). I'm not happy with what they moved the rollovers to one right side palette with the Color Table and Layer Options on Image Ready. I tried to move it back to the animation palette where it was in v6 (which was logical to have animation, rollovers, image map and slice in one palette) but it was also changed from the horizontal to vertical positioning of each frame which screws up the palette. I too have the Wacom tablet and not happy about the settings with Alzheimers. Photoshop also made one more step to switch from one document to another. In v6 you would go to Windows menu and go down to the bottom and select which document you want active. Now you have to go to Windows - Documents then go to bottom of that menu. Picky I know. I think a "What's New" of each of last few updates (5.5, 6 and 7) of Photoshop (and include Image Ready) and how each new change works would help users. Might even add a pros and cons on the changes. Definitely something more detailed one the current v7 changes especially the paint engine. Also something on creating the new dynamic brushes might help. BTW ... I previously stated I stopped using the File Browser because it froze up Photoshop. Well, I found the File Browser didn't seem to like one of my .GIFs for some reason (it opened fine in every other program). After deleting that file the File Browser now works. Go figure.
