Photoshop CS2

Nikki · 02-09-2006, 12:56 AM

I highly recommend it. I just upgraded (yeah I know I'm slow) and it definitely is way better than the 7.0 I was using. Here are a couple examples

They're 1600 x 1200 so I'll link:

WOOW... thats a huge diffrenc... makes the pictures look soo much better... nice pics

Stop playing with your Photoshop, and throw a rock at that owl.

Ghunger · 02-09-2006, 01:08 AM

What did they change?
and how long till I can find a cracked copy.

Nikki · 02-09-2006, 01:10 AM

Hahha, I don't know exactly what they changed but I definitely found the Clone Stamp to be much more effective. The new Smart Sharpen filter is better than the Unsharp Mask filter. There's a lot of new stuff, I haven't even checked it all out it. You can find it illegally with a bittorrent program, I think it's been out for a year now or more. I'm just behind the game lol.

Hula-Hula · 02-09-2006, 01:23 AM

awesome change, good job and thanx for sharing pics and recommending the program!

mava330 · 02-09-2006, 01:26 AM

CS2 is EXCELLENT! So powerful.

modeno · 02-09-2006, 08:23 PM

yupp, gotta love the new adobe toys!

Neil · 02-09-2006, 09:42 PM

I love being able to select multiple layers, create nested folders, the new type previews, bridge etc. I went from Adobe Suite 7 to Creative Suite CS2 as well and man all the programs are good. I did the same with the Macromedia suite too, went from MX to 8 and nice improvements. The upgrades are pretty cheap too (and a business write off

)

mds82 · 02-09-2006, 09:54 PM

I'm taking a CS Class next week. the Company i work for is paying for it also. not too bad i must say

I actually sell this stuff. Dont know anything about it but our cost for CS Upgrade is around $156.00. Im not trying to sell you anything just conversation. Must be sold through our Reseller accounts anyway.

On your first one, the sharpen filter's played havoc with the lines around your chrome trim, the lines on the hood and your wheels; lots of jaggies, no aliasing. I actually prefer the backlit original more because of it.

Did you zoom in to 100%? I mean i'm not saying it isn't there somewhat but I don't think it's too sharp.

obLu · 02-10-2006, 04:59 PM

Nope, just right clicked, 'open in a new tab', not looking at in photoshop or any other paint program.

yeah well did you click on it to zoom to 100% so it wasn't squished?

poldim · 02-10-2006, 06:48 PM

Probably not, you need to click the plus sign to see it in full size.

7.0, wow nikki, welcome back from the dark ages.
I thought CS was cool, but CS2 is great.

I just got some new tutorial stuff too...

Hey Nikki - you talked me into it. I love the difference I see in your comparison photos. I've been using PS 5.0 for years now. I usually don't do much with it but remove the occasional blemish, do some cropping, and maybe lighten or darken a bit. But after seeing your shots and reading up on the new features (especially support for RAW files, which my ancient version doens't have) I decided to upgrade.

P.S. I voted for you in the Miss E90Post contest... sorry you didn't win.
