It's disturbing to see so much mis-information compilied into one article. Probably the most disturbing statement was:If you used Photoshop to create Web graphics before version 5.5, you had to create your graphics and then use other software to optimize the file size and actually prepare the images for use on the Web.Did Mr. Ferrill not create web graphics prior to version 5.5? The use of other software packages was NOT required, you may have had to do some cumbersome tasks to create routine GIFs, but those were easily remidied down to a swift process with the use of key commands.In fact I'd go as far as to say that many features of the 5.5 and 6.0 I'd be happy to give up - it's somewhat of a grab bag, some new features are great additions, others are a step backwards. I wish that just one of these large software companies (macromedia, adobe, etc) would take an entire software development cycle to simply improve the speed, response time, etc. Why not work on slimming down years of code ontop of code to be as super efficient as possible - I'd be more eager to buy a streamlined photoshop than a new version which is slower, clunkier and with more useless bells and whistles.
