Raptomex Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I just got Adobe Photoshop CS2. THough it doesn't come out until next month, I'm special, lol. Anyway, It has the basic structure of Adobe Photoshop CS. You can use CS brushes in CS2. There are some new filters that are rather interesting. They have noticeably increased the number of "Blur" filters. I haven't tried ImageReady CS2 yet so I have no comments on it. Adobe Photoshop CS2 has some new features like "Bridging". Overall Adobe Photoshop CS2 is the same as Adobe Photoshop CS with many new features and I'm sure other aspects. If you have CS, keep it, don't rush to buy CS2, you won't be missing much.

Raptomex Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I couldn't get the title screen so I'll get a pic of the filters I talked about in my review. Th CS2 icon is different from CS so that's another way to tell.

jacob. Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Cool. They added a bunch of crappy filters that distort my images and made the 'feather' icon blue. Now I really can't wait for it.

I want to try out some of the new features, and then I'll report back in-depth.
