Yep, 9-slice scaling is a must. It's the last thing that prevents me from switching completely to AD.

Thank You MEB, but IMHO this isn't quite usable. Btw. I noticed that when you click on a proper part of the Adjustments thumbnail, the corresponding layer/object becomes selected....but only sometimes. Probably it would be better if the Adjustments where applied on the currently selected layer/object only. And when nothing is selected...or the "Edit All Layers" option is set, then the adjustments will affect all layers in the document. Something similar as in the Photoshop or Fireworks.

There seems that there is a bug (or maybe it’s feature?) related to Adjustments. When user makes some adjustments, then these are applied to all layers, not just to the currently selected layer. Like as the "Edit All Layers" option would be selected. This is somewhat inconvenient. It forces me to copy the particular layer to a new document...make the adjustments...and after that, bring it back to the original via the "Copy Merged".

I have also noticed strange behavior with deselecting objects. It appears in relation to nested layers (grouped objects). When I use the "Deselect" function (Cmd-D...btw. why not Cmd-Shift-A?), the currently selected object loses handles, but the corresponding layer in the Layers palette remains highlighted. Whats more, I'm not able to select another objects (just by clicking using the Move Tool). I have to click on the root layer in the palette, then to an empty space between the objects and then on the desired object.
