New Photoshop Features

The biggest thing I'd have to say about Flash Professional 8 is the inclusion of many of the popular filters we have been using in Adobe Photoshop for the last decade. Now with Flash you can easily add drop shadows, blur, bevel, and glow. It's kind of hard to believe that it took Macromedia this long to add such a staple like drop
shadow, but the wait is over for those of us who've been wanting it.
Maybe Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia will turn out well for the Macromedia Flash developer community.
