Highlights of the new version include:
- Universal binary for M1 Macs
- Unified Windows with a matching toolbar
- Big Sur user interface conventions
- New export workflow to specify color profile, file format, file size and live preview
- Animated GIF export
- Perspective Fix & Crop tool
- Accurate Color Picker for either RGB or HSV without switching modes

There's more to version 7, all of it revealed in the release notes. The new version requires macOS 10.14 Mojave or higher.
