It's not so much having a new versionas bothering to try to learn something more than just the lasso tool.
I have CS3. I don't know what it has that 7 doesn't. I used 7 for quite a while but as you can see, I'm only just learning to do some proper stuff so I don't know if I've used anything that 7 doesn't have.
As a rough idea, for this pic I used:
Layer masks
Fill or adjustment layers
Noise and various blur filters
Hue/saturation adjustment
Inner & outer glow
Transform
Difference clouds
Gradient overlay
Various layer blending modes
and a couple of other bits.
90% of that list is new to me.
The impressive bit will be if I remember what any of them do!

Stunning end result......I had a cs version, but my poor old PC wasn't up to the job of running it, so never found out what it did, 7 has all the things in you list...
I'm still learning the lasso tool myself ;-)

I was happy enough with 7but the missus was determined to get a more up to date version for her photography. I don't know what it does extra but I think it was because most of the magazines she was reading showed how to do things in CS.
CS3 was cheaper than CS4 or CS5 by a LOOOONG way.

The only thing I know for certain that it does do that 7 won'tAnd what I'd find really usfull is, it alows you to ajust the softness on the soft edge brushes which would be really usfull

Does it?Must work out how to do that.
There's a 'hardness' slider on the brushes, perhaps it's that. I don't remember if that was in 7 or not.
