I've only been playing with it for a couple of weeks now, but the major difference between CS & CS2, for photographers, is the way CS2 handles RAW files. The file browser is now gone, replaced with Adobe Bridge. Which is basically the file browser as a standalone program. You can process and save your RAW files (as either .dng, .tif, .psd or .jpg) from within Adobe Bridge, without having to start Photoshop. Batch processing RAW files is easier, as you can open a whole series of shots, apply your adjustments and see the results in real time in thumbnail form. The another neat feature is Smart Sharpen, with it's options to "remove" Gaussian, lens & motion blur. I'm understating it a bit, but the extra controls avalible are outstanding. Quite an improvement on USM, I reckon. If your using CS I strongly recommend downloading the CS2 30 day tryout http://tinyurl.com/2nbum . The improvments in RAW file handling were enough to make me upgrade. Dave ========= Thanks, Dave. I have 7 and was wondering about CS 2. Sound much more worth it. Marnie aka Doe
