It's hard to imagine that Adobe can make Photoshop any better than this. Long considered the professional image-editing standard among graphic digital artists worldwide, Photoshop is certain to cement that reputation even further with the array of new features offered in Adobe PhotoShop CS2. Artists, creative professionals, photographers, and industry professionals will find that the workflow and image customization enhancements will be worth far more than the price of the upgrade.<P> <table align=right width=350 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/photoshop_vanish_point.jpg" border=1 align=top>

<b>Achieve amazing results in a fraction of the time with the groundbreaking Vanishing Point tool, which lets you clone, paint, and paste elements that automatically match the perspective of the surrounding image area.</b> <small></td></tr></table> <b>Adobe Bridge (formerly File Browser)</b>
Adobe Bridge software is the new-generation File Browser--Photoshop's navigational control center that allows you to browse, organize, label, and preview graphics and Photoshop files quickly and efficiently. Adobe Bridge takes File Browser, introduced in Photoshop 7.0, a step further by providing centralized access to your suite project files, applications, and settings. With Adobe Bridge, you can process multiple camera raw images at once; resize, rate and label thumbnails; review images in slide show mode; and more. With file organization and sharing, plus Adobe Stock Photos at your fingertips all the time, you simply search for the files you want to place using metadata--such as key words, colors or image resolution--and seamlessly drag and drop your files into Photoshop. You can even page through an entire Adobe PDF file right in the preview panel of Adobe Bridge. And with Adobe Bridge, you can also browse, search and purchase royalty-free images from leading stock photo agencies without ever leaving InDesign CS2. It's as simple as that. <P> <b>Revolutionary Vanishing Point and Image Warp</b>
Photographers especially will be amazed at the effects that Vanishing Point can bring to a project. Clone, paint, and paste elements that automatically match the perspective of the surrounding image area in a fraction of the time that it currently takes. With Image Warp, you can easily create packaging mock-ups or other dimensional effects by wrapping an image around any shape. Place your client's logo around a coffee cup, or stretch, curl or bend an image across the hood of a car or around the Space Shuttle, for that matter. The effects you can create with Image Warp will be limited only by your imagination.<P> <table align=left width=250 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/photoshop_multi_image_edit.jpg" border=1 align=top>

<b>Accelerate your raw file workflow with simultaneous processing of multiple images while you continue working.</b> <small></td></tr></table> <b>Digital Camera Raw File Support</b>
Accelerate your raw file workflow with simultaneous processing of multiple images while you continue working. With Photoshop CS2, you can import images into your choice of formats, including Digital Negative (DNG); enjoy automatic adjustments to exposure, shadows, and brightness and contrast; and much more. This exciting new enhancement provides fast and easy access within Photoshop software to the "raw" image formats produced by many leading professional and mid-range digital cameras. The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in--now available as part of Photoshop CS2--has been updated to support more cameras and include more features. <P> <br clear= "all"> <b>Spot Healing Brush and One-Click Red-eye Correction</b>
Never have touch ups been so easy. With the Spot Healing Brush, you can effortlessly retouch photos--including 16-bit images--in a single click. Red-eye Correction lets you instantly neutralize red eyes and also lets you set pupil size and darkening level.<P> <table align=center width=350 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/software/detail-page/red_eye.jpg" border=1 align=top>

the swiss army knife of photo software.......2007-05-23

Trys to do everything, not very gracefully, not the least intuitively, and sometimes not even very well, a massive resource hog, overkill for many photographers.

Great program, but steep learning curve.......2007-05-06

This is a great program to use for anyone looking for a more enhanced version of MS Paint. It has tons of features, and any well-trained user can really use PS to its true max. The program does take a bit of time to learn however, just not to know what the different tools are, but to use each one to see what they do, and the knowledge of when to apply them. I use it often, from basic photo editing, screen captures, full-art (I use it for Deviantart and stuff) and just fun. I've been using it for a while and still basically a novice, so that should give you an idea of how powerful it is. However, the price holds many people back, but any person with a bit of internet experience can find cheaper versions. Great progam all-in-all.

Old Version of CS2.......2007-05-05

Based on using trial versions, this old version is only slightly below the later, and I cannot say about CS3 yet. CS2 is somewhat better than CS, which was itself a huge leap up from version 7. It is a burden to keep upgrading almost yearly, and I would recommend picking up any version of CS2 and planning to stick to it for a long while in that it does what almost everyone needs to do. Adobe will keep having newer versions of Photoshop and I wish they were not so pricey. I bought a trial version from an Amazon reseller which in itself is not that useful, but by telephone I was given the codes to register and validate it. No box came with it, nor book, but that is probably the most affordable way to get it.
