To this end, Mac users will probably want to make sure they are running the very latest update (OS X 1.3 at the time of writing). Photoshop 7.0 has also had to rely heavily on Apple to provide the operating system resources to optimize Photoshop 7.0s performance in OS X. So a lot of engineering time had to be devoted to updating the Photoshop 7.0 code. Mac OSX is based on a UNIX core and although UNIX has been around for a long time, the last time it was supported by Photoshop was in version 3.0. While at the same time, PC users now have support for the Windows XP operating system, and Ill be writing more about this in Chapter Three. What follows is a brief summary of whats new and which features will be of special interest to photographers.įor Macintosh users, the Mac OS X support was one of the most eagerly anticipated features of Photoshop 7.0. Admmitedly some of these are quite subtle, but nonetheless these have all gone to provide a version of Photoshop that is more versatile and equipped ready to meet the demands of users old and new. In preparing this update to the book I counted at least fifty feature additions and tweaks to the program. Speaking as an alpha tester and someone who has had the opportunity to work closely with the Photoshop engineering team, I can readily acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the Photoshop engineering team that goes into each and every program upgrade. But whatever the pundits and critics like myself write, it is going to be the Photoshop customers who will ultimately decide if Photoshop 7.0 makes the grade or not.

Whenever a new full version of Photoshop is released there is a predictable debate over whether the new program justifies being classed as a full upgrade or not.
