Adobe today shipped Adobe Photoshop CS2, an upgrade to the professional industry standard for digital image editing and creation. Available as a stand-alone software application or as a component of the Adobe Creative Suite 2, also shipping today, Photoshop CS2 software is equipped with indispensable new features and simplified workflows delivering a greater level of power, precision and control to photographers, film, video and creative professionals.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 users will push creative boundaries with many new powerful and dynamic features, including Vanishing Point, which allows users to clone, paint and transform image objects while retaining visual perspective. The new Image Warping feature makes it easy to fold, stretch, pull, twist and bend images. A variety of new tools and commands address common, photographic problems, such as the Spot Healing Brush for blemishes and dust, the Red Eye Tool, Lens Correction, Smart Sharpen and Remove Noise. Smart Objects allow users to scale and transform images and vector illustrations without losing image quality — as well as create linked duplicates of embedded graphics — so that a single edit updates across multiple iterations.
” Adobe Photoshop CS2 is a mind-blowing new product innovation,” said Bill Hurter, president, Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) in the press release. “From Vanishing Point to the Bridge to the absolutely magical qualities of the Healing Brush, the new Photoshop , which is but one part of CS2, will keep photographers and graphic artists busy catching up to the program for years. The most intuitive Photoshop yet.”

YAAAYYYYYY!!!
More upgrade fees!!
Pfft.
First post! Wow.
I get first frickin’ post in a thread like this.
Figures.
“The Bridge”
Nothing like integrating self serving competition against photographers strait into photoshop. Way to go Adobe. Bastards.
I just hope they fixed all of the annoying bugs that are still plaguing the current version. Wish they had a tryout version so I could double check myself.
Who cares – they have a lot of holes in their previous versions that they don’t fix, and they they just forget about that and release more gimick stuff …
I could still be using photoshop 4 and ill. 6….
except that that is not OSX native … but you know where I was going …
Hey, Adobe — I KNOW that some of you are reading this site. It’s too popular not to.
So tell me something: When are you gonna issue a statement about your intentions with regard to FreeHand? Now that you’ve bought Macromedia, that is. Will you PLEASE fess up and admit that it’s got great features that Illustrator lacks?
Over the course of the next year, try and combine the BEST of Macromedia’s products with the BEST of yours — and then get all the #%$@#)@! bugs out before shipping it — and THEN we’ll talk.
^ Freehand blows.
All you need is Illustrator, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver.

I like Freehand
Freehand’s for hosers and old ladies.
^^^^Dude, FreeHand’ll kick Illustrator’s ASS at several things.
I hope Adobe doesn’t suck wind on this — Illustrator could use some of the features.
Screw the OS wars lets get into Illustration app wars!
We are FCUKING GEEKS!
No . . .
WE ARE FSCKING GEEKS, FOREVER!!!
I just hope the hole package is now OS X native. Cocoa must go for good.
oops, Carbon must go, daa
Geeks rule, jocks . . .
are gay.
I don’t know — FreeHand, Illustrator. I just don’t like this trend of packaging everything into a “suite” and then they get huge upgrade prices. And if you try and buy the things individually they charge you a penalty in the pricing. And now Apple’s doing it too with the Final Cut stuff, though that’s more justified I guess.
Does it require activation?
Troll,
“Does it require activation?”
Yes
