Nevertheless, many little changes are spread throughout the application. Photoshop CS2’s interface remains almost identical to recent versions, meaning you won’t have to struggle with new keyboard shortcuts or re-arranged tool palettes. When you first launch Photoshop, you won’t notice a lot of changes. I’ll spill the beans right now and tell you that Photoshop CS2 is well worth the money ($599 or $149 upgrade), although there’s still room for improvement.

In addition to new photo-editing features, such as automatic perspective controls and improved Camera Raw, the program’s new Smart Objects and Warping tools should appeal to all users. In the latest release, Photoshop Creative Suite 2, Adobe added new features for everyone. To some extent its fair as CS2 doesn't run on Intel based Macs, so PC users have had an advantage now for years, but I bet this move will not go down well with CS2 users and angry people can easily find the latest version of Photoshop with a crack and not feel any scruples about using it.Although Photoshop was originally designed to be a digital darkroom, it long ago outgrew that niche market and is now a standard component of every type of graphic workflow, from print, Web design, and 3D graphics, to special effects and video production. It doesn't affect me as I don't have CS2, but its noticeable on this forum how many people feel its all they need-now if they have a crash or buy a new PC CS2 simply will not work unless they have the special version that is not activated.


They will say the deal was for life on a given OS not until Adobe switched off a server to save money. People will say Adobe has conned them by taking a considerable amount of their money and then making the product unusable-albeit it after 10 years-They would have a point as there was no mention that CS2 would be uninstallable after 10 years.

Adobe are pretty good at producing builds that don't interact as they use different folders and runtime libraries, but I suppose its possible.
