yep but then again it was the same with 6 -> 7

they're basically just porting Illustrator features over to ps and what sucks is they're failing to post over the vector system properly as better vector support would be awesome

i was just watching the demo for it on their site and it looks quite good :)

7 was leaps further ahead than 6 was IMO

I was really and still am really happy with photoshop 7.0 compared to 6.0 .. One major update I'm looking forward to is the new support for xhtml in golive cs as well...

I use a combination of tools for my designs, sites, and layouts etc... 4 or 5 different apps for webcoding, I prefer old school those aka hand writing a lot of the code for web design... Golive gives a lot of freedom in that respect ... I like the new look of the cs sweat over all but will be some months before i can upgrade :(

i use dw to hardcode cos i'm backwards like that (the main reason is the refresh button) and also i like to reference some stuff and make sure i haven't forgotten other stuff, never used go live but i would love it if you could set imageready to print it's code using the xhtml standards, as i've always found that annoying

i heard they were adding a load of new photo touchup techniques and were gearing most of the ps8 upgrades towards that.

i guess being 'photo'shop that what it should be used for but i like making graphics in it and so would like the tools to do all that stuff
