The professional standard in desktop digital imaging

Product overview
Adobe Photoshop CS2 software, the professional image-editing standard and leader of the Photoshop digital imaging line, delivers groundbreaking creative tools; unprecedented adaptability; and more efficient editing, processing, and file handling.

Timesaving file handling with Adobe Bridge
Simplify file handling with Adobe Bridge, the next-generation File Browser, where you can process multiple camera raw images at once; resize, rate, and label thumbnails; quickly review images in Slideshow mode; search metadata; and more.

Revolutionary 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.

Advanced noise reduction
Polish digital photos with advanced noise correction in high-ISO shooting plus JPEG artifact reduction.

32-bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) support
Create and edit 32-bit images, and combine multiple exposures into a single, 32-bit image with expanded range—from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights.

Customizable workspaces and menus
Get easier access to the tools you need with task-based presets, highlight new or commonly used menu items, and set up and save custom menus and workspaces.

Enhanced automation
Use the new Image Processor command to process camera raw images, and use new built-in Actions to prepare images for film and video.

Variables
Instantly produce repetitive graphics with Variables, which automatically populate your design with data from spreadsheets or databases.

Event-based scripts
Accomplish more in fewer steps with event-based scripts that automatically activate at specified points in your workflow.

Adobe Help Center
Quickly get answers from the new, floating Adobe Help Center window with improved search features and convenient, task-based topics.

Smart Objects
Perform nondestructive scaling, rotating, and warping of raster and vector graphics with Smart Objects. Even preserve the editability of high-resolution vector data from Adobe Illustrator® software.

Multi-image digital camera raw file processing
Accelerate your raw file workflow with simultaneous processing of multiple images while you continue working. Import images into your choice of formats, including Digital Negative (DNG); enjoy automatic adjustments to exposure, shadows, and brightness and contrast; and much more.

Instant video preview
See your broadcast graphics as they’ll appear to the audience, while you’re still building them. With one click, you can preview your Photoshop CS2 images on a television monitor connected to your computer by IEEE 1394/FireWire/i.LINK.

WYSIWYG font menu
Quickly select typefaces from the font menu, which now displays a sample of each font.
