But I do not agree that improvement stopped at PS 4. I think that the last big improvement was when it became possible to do most of the image corrections and apply filters etc. on 16-bit images. I don't remember if that was when we went from 6 to 7 or from 5 to 6, but that was certainly a major improvement that justified (to me, anyway) the upgrade. Having said this, I probably use about 5% of PS functionality for what I do: basically levels, occasionally curves, USM, cropping, and a couple of Fred Miranda plugins. That's basically it.
