Theres not much hype abt the new creative suite 2 as it was for the CS1... to be frank as a designermyslef, i dont see much different for a normal photoshop user, but in a more serious photoshop users point of view, there are some pretty good additions. here i will be just mentioning the basic new stuff on CS2...

* a sample word next to the font name in that font is a good change. lets the user know how the font really looks like and saves a bit of time.

* multiple layers can be selected in layers palette by just using Cntrl button or Shift button and right clicking as we do normally in windows.

*The file browser which was first inreoduced in Photoshop 7 and improved in CS1 is now called " Adobe Bridge" in CS2. The good thing abt this is that the files can be accessed via other Creative Suite applications as well. Also bridge can be run as a standalone application.

* improvement in the version cue, which is pretty helpful when working on larger projects expecially as a team .this is integrated with Adobe Bridge.

well these are just the basic stuff which i came across the new version, but i believe there are a lot of new features in CS2 for digital photographers and maybe i will just try have a look at them later and do a little summary!.. CS2 havent really had my attention that much , i still prefer to use CS and i did use version 7 till very recently..
