Features of Adobe Photoshop CS2

· Spot Healing Brush — This tool handles common photographic problems such as blemishes, red-eye, noise, blurring, and lens distortion.

· Vanishing Point — This tool allows the user to clone, paint, and paste elements that automatically match the perspective of the surrounding image area.

· Camera raw workflow enhancements — The user can now automatically adjust settings, convert images to Digital Negative (DNG) format, and apply nondestructive edits to batches of images.

· Timesaving file handling with Adobe Bridge — Adobe Bridge is the Photoshop File Browser, where multiple camera raw images can be processed at once. This browser allows the user to resize, rate and label thumbnails, and review images in Slideshow mode.

· Advanced noise reduction — Digital photos can now be polished with advanced noise correction in high-ISO shooting and JPEG artifact reduction.

· Optical lens correction — Common lens distortions, such as barrel and pincushion can be easily fixed, along with chromatic aberrations and vignetting.

· Smart Sharpen — Common image blurring can be counteracted with a fine correction control tool based on the specific blur types: motion, lens, and Gaussian.

· 32-bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) support — Multiple exposures can be edited and combined into a single, 32-bit image with expanded range.
