(View all)Anyone see anything on how well it will integrate with the iPhoto database? If at all?
The blurb makes it sound like it does, but we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully they provide a demo like they usually do.

Photoshop has always had near perfect integration with iPhoto database.
iPhoto makes it easy to integrate any image editor so this is nothing special about Photoshop, Gimp can work the same way. The is a preferences field where you specify the "default image editor" and then iPhoto will launch and hand off an image to whatever program you specify.
did we just skip version 7 completely?
any upgrades for version 6 owners?
My question as well. Already paid $100 for 6, but would be interested if an upgrade price is somewhat reasonable
I would hope that for owners of versions 6 & 4 upgrades are priced at either $49.99 or $59.99.
I searched all over the Adobe site for upgrade pricing but can't find it. It looks like there's a $20 mail-in rebate to make the product $79.99 but that it's for new purchases only.

In the UK, the upgrade is only £11 cheaper than the full product!
Doesn't seem to be an upgrade in the US? but then with the rebate, the cost for a full product is almost the same in GBP as Dollars, no suprise eh?
