Can this be achieved ?
John Are you sure you had access to the Navigator palette in Photoshop 7 while in the Camera Raw dialog? I very much doubt it. Too lazy to shut down Photoshop CS and start Photoshop 7 to test it but I am pretty confident that, once you were in the Camera Raw dialog, you did NOT have access to the Navigator palette. There are plenty of dialogs in Photoshop that are mode dependent (some say too many). That means, once you are in any one of them, you do not have access to many Photoshop features, other than the ones you can access from the menu bar or a popup menu in the dialog you happen to be in. To test this theory, when you are in the Camera Raw dialog, have a look at the menu bar and see which menus are greyed out and of the ones that are not, which items are available. I suspect the reason you have to play catch-up in the CR dialog is because the view is not cached and it has to be redrawn each time you move the preview the Hand tool. If you want to see faster redraws in the CR dialog, I suspect the only solution is a top of the range G5 DP! ;-) Or at the least a faster graphics card.
