Looks like Adobe have really gone to town with this upgrade especially in Photoshop which has acquired a lot of new and useful tools for photo editing and manipulation, notably they seam to have incorporated a Neat Image style tool. On past performance I'd hazard a guess they've licensed this from Neat Image and integrated it into their own product to save development time. Or they may have just ripped it off. Who can say. Start saving/badgering friends who qualify for educational discount now :-)
the more I look at this upgrade the more impressive it appears to be but (sucks air through his teeth) Adobe have wised up and incorporated telephone product activation into it even on the mac version to try and limit piracy/'borrowing' official copies from work. rats.
Hmmm. That's interesting. I can pick up the CS2 Creative Suite on my university license for $205. Discounted educational pricing, maybe? Soon as I can get my hands on it, I'm getting it.

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
