Adobe Photoshop CS2 Version 9
is part of Adobe's Creative Suite 2 and brings a new range of
interesting features for digital photographers. The objective of this
review is to highlight the new and changed features compared to
Photoshop CS. As usual, we will focus on those features which are useful
to digital photographers.
This review of Photoshop CS2 is based on
the final version for Windows with Adobe Bridge 1.0.2 (the current
version is 1.0.1, but 1.0.2 should be available in the very near
future).
Following the Adobe Photoshop tradition,
each new version is a smooth evolution from earlier versions which
makes it easy to switch versions and allows you to benefit from your earlier learning curve. Apart from a few exceptions, most of the commands and shortcuts are identical to earlier versions.
I see no reason why besides the current "classic" Photoshop view, there is no optional "modern"
view based on the progress made with Photoshop Elements 3 which has a
toolbox and expandable palettes which are integrated into the window
itself. As far as the palettes are concerned, it matters less as we
still have the palette well. But we are still stuck with the floating
toolbox which cannot be docked anywhere. Its odd shape takes up valuable
real estate and often gets accidentally hidden behind other palettes. I
hope this is the last version of Photoshop we have to put up with this
rather trivial inconvenience.
A long awaited improvement is the
display of a sample word next to the font name in the font list of the
Type tool so you have an idea what the fonts looks like. Unfortunately
the word "Sample" is not much to go by as it exemplifies only 6 sample
characters and no numbers.
Adobe Bridge
The File Browser which was introduced in Photoshop 7 and improved in Photoshop CS
is now called "Adobe Bridge" because it can be accessed via the other
Creative Suite applications as well. Just like the File Browser,
Bridge's integration with Adobe Camera Raw 3.1
allows you to preview, adjust, and process multiple raw files at once.
Moreover, the processing can be done in the background while performing
other tasks in Photoshop. Bridge can also run independently from
Photoshop as a standalone application. New features include scaleable
thumbnails, many types of image review modes, and improved rating and
labeling features. We will now have a closer look at the performance.
Performance tests were done with on a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 machine,
with 3GB RAM, 30" Mac LCD driven by a Nvidia Quadro FX3400 graphics
card, four 200GB serial ATA disks (one for with the OS and CS2, one
dedicated scratch disk, two for data), with Windows XP SP1,
and no other applications running or installed. Test results with other
hardware configurations will of course be different. So you should
mainly be looking at the relative numbers.
Starting up Photoshop CS2 and then Adobe Bridge 1.0.2 for
the first time after a reboot took about 16 seconds. Subsequently, it
took about 8 seconds. Very similar to Photoshop CS and the File Browser.
However, you can launch Bridge faster as a standalone application
without opening Photoshop. The first startup after reboot is at 6
seconds, slower than the 2 seconds ACDSee needs. For subsequent launches, the difference is only about one second.
