I think it sucks that you have to upgrade to a newer version of
Photoshop to get it. Is Adobe owned by Bill Gates? This sounds like
something he would do.

Just Upgrade. CS2 is a better product.

Hey,

ANY successful software company is ALWAYS planning the next release
from the moment that the current release goes out the door. In fact,
probably while the current release is being developed. Microsoft
certainly does that, and so does the software company I work for.

Possibly even 2-3 releases out. The real issue for Adobe is when the

years...it might be time to stop and make sure I really need it before
I buy.

HE HE! No, read it again with your same feeling.

The users idiocy is the only reason that they are using windows.

They have no one to blame but themselves!

VIVA LA MACINTOSH!

I tried CS2 and went back to CS. CS2 has some new features that may be
appealing, but comparing it to CS with my third party plugs-ins, I
actually wouldn't be buying much that is different than what I already
have. Then, I learned some of my favorite (costly) plug-ins either only
partially work or don't work at all in CS2. AFAIC, CS2 is over priced
and bloated. There is one thing CS2 has that appealed to me and that is
the 'Exposure" setting. But then I reasoned, I was doing well with the
'Levels' adjustments. One plug- in I have is fill-flash which saves me a
lot of time and it wouldn't work in CS2 but works in CS (Corel's Jasc
Paint Shop Pro has that feature built in). When using CS2, I sorta had
the feeling that Adobe was 'grouping' for changes to be made in their
software.

The big surprise was yet to be had. CS2 permeated my system to the
extent that removal was indeed a chore.

CS2 to me had enough new features to make worth while.



I am considering upgrading, but before I do, I thought I'd ask. What are
some of the new features that you find useful?



Bridge, the new smart sharpen, new noise reduction (don't need Noise
Ninja now), the new features in RAW to name a few... I really like
working from Bridge and it's tagging features...

The buit-in noise reduction feature doesn't come close to being as good
as Noise Ninja, Neat Image, or Helicon Noise Filter (which is free). The
Bridge feature is good for tagging, if you don't have another ptogram
that will do the same job, but In general Bridge didn't appeal to me and
would often produce an 'Error' message.
