For example you will be able to create the highest HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 on a 1024 x 768 desktop. Resolutions good enough for printing are also possible, like creating a 3000 x 3000 picture for use on a party flyer. In the File > Set Show Resolution... dialog you can select a view of 50%, 25% or 12.5% to indicate that the exported resolution should be 2, 4 or 8 times bigger than the render window.

In version 7 you can select an effect file in the camera layer. This effect will be applied to the whole render window as a post-processing effect. All filter effects including blur, median and charcoal can be used.
* Support for shader model 3.0
Advanced effects like median filters, morphing effects and fractals are possible with shader model 3.0. Of course these effects will only work if your graphics card also supports shader model 3 (Geforce 6, ATI X1800 or better)
* Effect properties
Effect files used to abuse existing properties to make them controllable by the GUI. In version 7 effect files can add properties to layers. For example it's possible to create a Mandelbrot fractal effect that adds the properties Max Iterations and Colour Cycling Speed to the picture layer. Another example is plane-to-donut morph effect that adds a Morp Stage property to the picture layer!
* Subtle material effects
Combine lighting, texture mapping and reflection mapping in any ratio: fine-tune your materials from dull to 100% reflective.
* New file formats
Stills and numbered frames can now be exported in the following file formats: .BMP(including 32 bits), .TGA(including 32 bits), .JPG, .GIF, .TIF and .PNG(including 32 bits).

New system requirements:

* Version 7 requires Windows XP or Vista.
* Version 7 requires DirectX 9 version June 2007 or later. If the program complains about not being able to find D3DX9_34.dll you will have to install the latest version of DirectX.

Changed and removed features:

* The command line options /E and /KEY have been removed.
