Adobe Set To Announce Photoshop CS2

29 Mar, 2005 at 12:39am ET Article published in Tech

Adobe is planning to announce a major upgrade to its popular Photoshop image editing suite next Monday. Details slipped out in an accidental early posting of a press release, which has since been removed.

Dubbed Adobe Photoshop CS2, the new release promises better tools to fix common image problems such as red eye and blemishes, as well as updated support for raw, or uncompressed, images. The software is expected to start shipping in May.

Adobe says it added numerous features to Photoshop CS2 in response to requests from users and the changing needs of the digital imaging industry.

A new spot healing brush will fix blemishes, red-eye and distortion from camera lenses. Users will also be able to scale images with less quality loss than previous Photoshop versions.

A tool known as Vanishing Point will allow the user to recolor and transform objects in an image without altering its perspective. Image Warp, another new tool, enables a user to easily twist, warp or skew an image cleanly using preset functions, or with custom points.

I've barely scratched the surface in understanding CS. CS2 is gonna be worse

And please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks CS2 is ridiculous and excellent at the same time?
