Google webmaster tools has a new look to it.This is how Google describes it.

The result is a simpler, more intuitive navigation. Features are now grouped together in three categories: Site configuration (where you provide Google with information about your site), Your site on the web (where you can view Google data about your site), and Diagnostics (where you can get reports on any problems we encountered crawling your site). Our goal was to make stats and data more discoverable, while removing redundant pages and features (such as Index stats) that cluttered the interface and reproduced information available elsewhere.

They have changed a lot of things and have removed the Enhanced Images tool which is a shame as this was a help in getting traffic to your blog.

Here is the new list of tools,
