Photoshop CS2 - Seems to have some useful additions - 10/15/2005 3:57:19   
I just downloaded the CS2 trial (took a LONG time to download), I don't see it being worth the upgrade from CS1 to CS2 for me, but maybe a few of these features will make your life easier.

Tryout download (sign-in required)

Here are four main new features that stood out: (links take you to a video of it in action)

Vanishing Point
Achieve amazing results in a fraction of the time with the groundbreaking Vanishing Point, which lets you clone, paint, and paste elements that automatically match the perspective of the surrounding image area.

Image Warp
Easily create packaging mock-ups or other dimensional effects by wrapping an image around any shape or stretching, curling, and bending an image using Image Warp.

Spot Healing Brush
Effortlessly retouch photos — including 16-bit images — in a single click with the advanced power of the new Photoshop CS2 Spot Healing Brush.

One-click red-eye correction
Instantly neutralize red eyes with the one-click red-eye correction tool, which supports 16-bit images and lets you set pupil size and darkening level.

I never really messed around in CS1 with warping an image, however I did play around with a few tutorials on the subject, and it was pretty hard! The eye correction is a real plus, this alone might be useful for some people. I haven't found a good way to correct red eyes in some photos.

Wow. CS2 demo is now uninstalled.

They have completely removed the ability to easily link layers. You now need to go through the layers by highlighting them (control+click), and then clicking a link button on the left.

What is Adobe planning to do with CS3? Remove the ability to use a mouse? :)

Gulp! Wonder why they did that?

Another example of feature bloat. Software companies maintain their cash flows by coming out with new versions every few years. After a few years, the improvements become trivial. So what they do is obsolete previous versions.

I also heard it's a lot slower. True?

- Askin the wrong person :) Going from an Intel P4 3.0ghz w/1GB ram, to an AMD X2 4400+ w/2GB ram. It runs faster, a lot faster.
