Adobe CS2

Mostly a new version of software is much like the old with a bit of razzmatazz thrown in so you’ll buy it.

There’s plenty of razzmatazz in CS2, most notably the incredible vanishing point in Photoshop, but how many buildings am I realistically going to change the siding on, unless I suddenly start DeChirichoising my newsletters?

Some of the new features, though, will save me a ton of work. The object style in InDesign, the live trace feature in Illustrator, and the new Bridge browser across the platforms. Installed today. I’m looking forward to having a bit of a design session indulgence over the weekend.
