Adobe Bridge is a handy replacement for the built-in File Browser. At last we can view full-size images and run slide shows without Picasa or Photoshop Album. See screenshot or download a QuickTime movie (3 Mb) from the adobe site.

The new Spot Healing Brush Spot Healing Brush tool is very efficient tool making retouching much easier
(see flash movie - 300 Kb).

The Red Eye Red Eye tool Tool (known by Photoshop Elements users as Red Eye Removal) is a one-click solution for "red eye" effect (movie - 200 Kb ).

Camera Raw plugin allows to open and edit multiple files (screenshot).

Vanishing Point filter is a kind of "perspective clone". To tell the truth I can't remember that I ever needed such a tool. A QuickTime movie (7 Mb) available at the adobe site.

Photoshop got some features previously only available in ImageReady - handling (moving, transforming, arranging, deleting) multiple layers without linking them and creating animations.
