Does PS 6 have the liquify filter? Also is there anywhere I can view the difference between PS 6 and PS 7?

Yes, PS6 has the liquify tool, it's at the bottom of the Image menu. PS7 put it on the Filter menu.

The differences : The One in PS6 actually works! The one in PS7 doesn't if you have an Nvidia Graphics card - The Work around? Labotimize your graphics card by turning off all the Hardware acceleration, so that your PS7 is now SLOWER than PS5!!

The primary reason most people upgraded from PS6 to 7 was the major speed increase, well, you can toss that right out the window!

However, there are some other improvements to the Liquify and some sad feature destruction as well..

In PS6 you could send the whole image to liquify without selecting anything or a selected portion.
In PS7 - you MUST select something or the whole tool is grayed out...

In PS6 you had to be very careful about the geometric shape that you selected, otherwise the window in Liquify was virtually unusable as it had no zoom or any other manipulations to the image.
In PS7 someone finally installed a brain into the programmer's head and the tool is now useful again... However, maybe he has something against NVidia?

All in all, the tradeoff - a tool that works but is clunky or a tool that requires you to disable the very thing you need to use the program at all...

Given that the latest version of Photoshop (CS) is now Spyware- the sad tale of PhotoShop is nearing it's tragic conclusion.

This shopper, having been a consistent and loyal Adobe customer for almost 20 years, will NEVER again buy ANY Adobe products...
