Hey Daner,
Personally I'd say no. Although there are a couple of good additions to the software, in my opinion there just isn't enough to warrant an upgrade if you don't need to.
Let us know what you decide?

hi,
if a casual user it probably not worth it.... however....!!
one of the first things i look for is reviews... and good reviews at that.. not just repetion of features that a program has... i look for criticle cmprehensive review with pro and con's...
found very few comprehnsive reviews on 7.0... just a lot of garbage reviews....
for the most part.... there appears to be nothing sensational.. appears to be a incremental type update vice a new version update... that the number refers to... maybe they should have called it 6.5 .. smiling.. anyway....
now for the most part 6 and 7 the same.... but there appears to be 3 things of note with 7.. weather these are important enough to justify upgrading to , that up to you... sometimes a single tool is sufficent... smiling....
1. it appears to be a little easier ... to me that term is always relative.. smile...
2. this is probably the biggest feature people may have a interest in...
the SMART BUSH TOOL ... I believe It from photoshop cs 3 or 4 ... it a way to select your object...!! it really neat and nice... i have seen demonstrated in tutorials... (i only have cs1 and elements 5 .... they don't have it..
3. another, what appears a nice tool, is the photomerge cleanup ..if you do a lot of photomerging this maybe important to you this sounds nice...
these are two reviews on it....

I hope the info is usefull to your.. good luck on what ever your decision is...

Hmmmm I really liked version 6 so I'd say probably yes, although I can't remember the new features in 6, and then in 7!
Let us know what you think, or choose to do?
