      Photoshop CS2 Coming Soon

      29 Mar 2005

      From Slashdot:

      [...] the next version, dubbed Photoshop CS2, is supposed to add several new features such as Image Warp and Vanishing Point, as well as changing around the file browser to allow users access to royalty-free images from five providers for use in their work. The new version is due in May …

      To be honest, I’m actually pretty satisfied with where Photoshop CS is at right now. CS addressed the very last gripe I had about Photoshop’s UI, i.e., not being able to pan the canvas past the edge of the document, and all the other CS enhancements (Layer comps, etc.) were really just gravy.

      Come to think of it, the one thing I’d really really like would be more programmable actions. For example, I’d love to be able to record an action that could open a layered PSD and save each layer as its own web-optimized file (with filenames taken from the respective layer names).

      It’d also be cool if it had some kind of conditional too, so that it could execute different actions depending on the state of a file. For example, if a particular image is longer than it is wide, it’ll rotate it. Little things like that could save you a ton of time when processing hundreds of photos.

      Oh, and I’d also love it if there were some way to copy the slice-layout from one PSD to another.

      … Hmm. I guess CS isn’t as perfect as I thought.

      … Oh, and if they’re gonna come out with Adobe Illustrator CS2, I’d appreciate better anti-aliasing on rasterized fonts please. And slightly more accurate image-slicing.

      And rulers that are subdivided by 5’s and 10’s instead of 8’s, for crying out loud!

      And Mesh Envelope Distortion with arc-handles that you can turn off.

      Yup.
