One of the most touted new features of Photoshop CS5 is the mini bridge. There are also improvements to content aware healing and content aware fill. Both of these latter tools are useful in removing unwanted objects from photos, or filling in open areas.
To move from Photoshop 7 to CS4 will require a purchased full copy of Photoshop CS4 as there is no upgrade available for versions of Photoshop older than 8 - the first CS version.
The extended versions have all of the features the normal ones do but they offer extra features such as the ability to import and edit 3D graphics, video enhancement and more tools to use for editing images etc.
PS7 has more features then 6. but honestly they are so old you ought to just get Photoshop CS4 or 5
The average price of Adobe Photoshop CS4 is $1299. The software package is available from several online retailers for this same price with varying shipping costs offered.

No
Yes, you can upgrade from Photoshop CS3 (or earlier) to Photoshop CS5 Extended, no problem.
CS4 is version of software, and the name before CS4 is stand name of Software, for example Photoshop CS4 is: software Photoshop and version CS4. The Name of Software is Photoshop not Photo shop, please don't change. ---------------- If you want to know more about it then open photo shop and click on the help menu and select About Photoshop sub menu and then you will see and Photoshop about window.

Nowhere, Photoshop is not free software.
CS4 Extended is the legal version that you must buy. CS4 Portable is a free, illegal version that does all the same things as CS4 Extended, the only difference is that you can't add plug-ins
It depends on what you want to do. There are currently 4 versions of Photoshop: * Photoshop CS4 Extended * Photoshop CS4 * Photoshop Lightroom 2 * Photoshop 7 Elements (Mac version is 6) * Photoshop.com If you just want to "try your hand," at graphic design, then Photoshop CS4 Extended is a bit overkill for you needs. Photoshop Lightroom 2 is geared toward professional photographers, so that's not really what you would need either. That leaves Photoshop CS4, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop.com. Of those, Photoshop CS4 is going to be the most expensive, and the most powerful. Photoshop.com offers a basic online photo editor, and from what I can tell is free. Photoshop Elements is somewhere between CS4 and .com in terms of power. I'd recommend trying out Photoshop.com, and if that doesn't suit your needs, to try Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CS4. Adobe provides free trials of both on their site.
There are several differences which have been upgraded from CS2 to CS4 versions. The interface has been changed and updated on CS4, but some customers have complained that some of the more advanced features on CS2 are now moved to extended software packs with CS4, meaning you'll have to purchase more software to get the same functionality. Try out the demo of CS4 to make your final decision.
