Adobe Photoshop CS2 - The professional standard in desktop digital imaging
Adobe Photoshop CS2 software, the professional image-editing standard and leader of the Photoshop digital imaging line, delivers more of what you crave. Groundbreaking creative tools help you achieve extraordinary results. Unprecedented adaptability lets you custom-fit Photoshop to the way you work. And with more efficient editing, processing, and file handling, there's no slowing you down.
  • 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.

    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.

    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.
