Summary: Frustrated I can't open program help
Comment: I like the program but I can't open the program help menu.
Calling Adobe does not help because they say they don't support the program anymore. I can't understand why Adobe lets the program be up for sale and then won't support it.

Summary: Short on RAW file support
Comment: Granted photoshop is the standard for digital photo imaging but cs2 and previous versions may not support your (or my) camera's RAW files. Presumably that is because of the number of new DSLRs on the market and a lack of standardization of RAW file formats. The dng patch from Adobe didn't resolve the situation. However, the cs3 version does support more RAW file formats (incuding my camera's!). So do your homework. Check Adobe's web site to see if your camera's RAW files are supported, or take advantage of their free software trial. In the end, although I needed to upgrade to cs3, my purchase of cs2 followed by the upgrade to cs3 was still a cost savings over buying the full version of cs3.

Summary: FAKE!!!
Comment: I purchased this item thinking it was authentic. I was wrong. It kept asking me to register it everytime i opened it up. So i called Adobe annd had them run the serial number for verification and it came back invalid. The seller made a prompt refund, and had excellent communication. It was just unfortunate. So be very aware of high priced software for really cheap, even on Amazon!!!

Summary: Photoshop CS2
Comment: I am used to Photoshop 6 and purchased this as only 7 was upgradeable. It is just like the old versions except it has redeye reduction which you get in Microsoft Picture it for about $40. The spot healing tool doesnt work very well and areas pop in that you dont want. Sometimes I do not notice any difference between healing and the regular clone tool. The program is good like regular photoshop, but IMO all photoshop programs should only be about $100 not $1000 like the newer ones Cs3 extended. The thing I dislike about this program is the filter tab which brings up a larger edit window and doesnt let you minimize it compared to older versions for side to side comparison ( So you can see both at the same time,while you compare adjustments to the original). I also like the desciptions like Pressure before that they now call Hardness in the tool adjustment settings. I hate all software upgrades basically because they usually change everything instead of leaving it the same and adding to it. I was hoping this had new filters, but it had about the same amount and had alot of useless filters instead of more painting filters. I also like Picture it, because you can select a file and grab it and move it all around and set it on to another picture and stretch it up down and sideways without having to go through a lot of steps like photoshop. Photoshop does alot of other things that other programs cant do and the image warp and vanishing point make this a good upgrade. The learning curve is steep because the program goes through alot of steps that other programs like picture it do easily and quickly. I got this cheaper since it is the older program compared to CS3 extended which like I said is way over priced. Next is CS4 which will only work with 64 bit Vista and not the current 32 bit Vista and will be very expensive and I wont ever get it. Adobe will take a dive on this one and it will cost at least $1000 plus. Its pretty sad that after 9 editions that they had auto redeye correction when picture it had it long ago. This alone justifies the fact that Photoshop is full of itself and way over priced. Still Photoshop is a good program to have but it tells you how to make picture borders for instance while other programs have picture borders in their program and you can easily select from a multitude of different ones. Conclusion a necessary but hard program with a step learning curve that is way over priced for what it does. CS2 and Cs3 extended upgrade for 3D may be worth having after prices go down instead of the CS4 64bit pogram that wont work on most Vista operating systems. I basically use Photoshop for Cloning and Vanishing point and Image Warp and Picture it and MGI photosuite for Borders, colors, frames and manipulation of objects.

Summary: PhotoshopCS2
Comment: Like other Photoshop products this is a good one but it is the old one now. They have Photoshop CS3 out already and I do not know how much better it is than this. I am satisfied with this one and it is as advertised. It is much better than Photoshop 7 and like that.
