Adobe Photoshop CS2
With Photoshop CS2 software, the popular File Browser has been upgraded to
Adobe Bridge, which functions as a hub for productivity, imagery and creativity,
providing multi-view file browsing and smooth cross-product integration across
Adobe Creative Suite 2 software. Adobe Bridge also provides access to Adobe
Stock Photos, a new stock photography service that offers users one-stop shopping
-- across five elite stock image providers -- to deliver high-quality,
royalty-free images for layout and design (see separate press release).
The new Camera Raw 3.0 workflow allows settings for multiple raw files to be
simultaneously modified. In addition batch processing of raw files, to JPEG,
TIFF, DNG or PSD formats, can now be done in the background without launching
the main Photoshop executable. Integrated, non-destructive cropping and straightening
controls allow raw files to be easily prepared for final output.
Simplifying Photoshop's rich interface, task-based menu presets make it easier
to find the features needed for specific work. Users can create their own custom
presets, highlighting favorite items and now have the ability to define event-based
scripts and time-saving operations that execute automatically when triggered
by actions, such as saving or printing a file. Multiple Layer Controls speeds
editing, enabling the simultaneous selection and manipulation of numerous layers
within a file.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 for Mac OS X version 10.2.8 through 10.3.8, Microsoft Windows
2000 with Service Pack 4 or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or 2, will begin
