By Chris Cosden An Industry standard gets even better! There are numerous additions to the latest build of Photoshop including:
editable type
a history palette more exacting control over color consistency
layer effects
support for 3D
an Illustrator-like measure tool
magnetic lasso and pen tools
a "freeform" pen
