Well, first off, le w00t! After being promised the thing as a birthday present 9 months ago, I finally have Photoshop CS2! I'll repost my thoughts on it that I posted on Manga Revolution a day ago:

Well, late last year, in November, as a birthday gift, I asked for the latest version of Photoshop. (CS2). And thus, 9 months later... I finally have it! XD

Unfortunately, I don't have any artwork that DEMANDS I use photoshop right now (AHEM, and the ones I do... err.. they're a bit too complex to LEARN with right now...) so I just messed around with it a bit.

"Flow" is everything I thought it would be... gee, combined with opacity, it gives a nice, soft touch to adding color that I've had a hard time replicating in older versions of photoshop. Adding a small smidge of red to a skintone with a few strokes, that still looks SMOOTH, and not as if it has some odd digital barrier to it that only has a chance of being smoothed by deftly using the corners of a REALLY REALLY large brush...

The color replacement brush also seems like a really nice way to color elements of a picture with a hue, that still perserves shadow and highlight. So if one where to make a bunch of leaves of the same color, and sudden'y wanted to make a few a diffrent color, "Color Replacement" seems like a good way to do something simple and quick like that.

Overall brush dynamics look very nice, but I have yet to mess with them too much. I can see potential for alot of the features, but haven't figured out places to apply odd things like "color jitter" or other such thing... XD

I haven't really gone too in depth to the other features, and if anyone else who has upgraded from older photoshop to the recent version can tell me of the other, fancy modifications that matter, I'd much appreciate it!

I'm still missing a tablet, but it's nice to have new Photoshop Now I need to work up some new linework to color, so I can really give CS2 a go testing... -cackle!-
