Not everything ThinkSecret says...
It's ok. I don't know why they are going to call it 7.0, there isn't much added. It doesn't rember the palette locations, and font management is now a pain. OS X doesn't recognize all my fonts like 9 did but I haven't tried suitcase for X yet because I read some negative things about it. Scroll wheel doesn't work when running in 9. Wierd.
You get spell check, find and replace, (only works in X not 9) a few new text buttons like inDesign, new icons which I think are ugly and distacting, they look too thick, too embossed. Switching between apps is slow as earlier noted.
New tools- Healing brush and patch tools.
Healing brush seems to be a stamp tool that feathers the edges after cloning the pixels. Not sure why that's useful.
Patch lets you move pixels within a selection and then feathers the inside edges. Again, not sure why that is useful.
Art history brush (that's new right?)It does all kinds of brush effects.
File browser- THANK GOD!! After 6.0 came out WITHOUT ' MAKE PREVIEW' i haven't been able to view thumbs of graphics that I needed to open up. So I had to resort to SimpleImage and MediaPro. No more!. This is basically graphicconverter image browser built in. Navigate to a folder and it makes thumbs of the images, then double click and it''s open. Yo can even delete images from it!
Slower than 6.5. Slower opening files, slower running filters, just slower over all. (beta of course)
ImageReady has a few new additions to it. But nothing mind boggling. Image Ready 7.0 or Adobe Eelpout 7.0 depending on where you look. What happened to Image Ready 4.0?
So, didn't see the "wrap text around 3d objects' as I think thinksecret said. And not sure about the new anti-aliasing from quartz looks the same as in 9.
So, maybe they'll add some more stuff, this was 043.
