Adobe Photoshop CS2 Update is a free update that comes from the official developers that will help fix some of the common problems you encountered in the past and give you access to new features and tools.

The most common software used by camera and photo enthusiasts is Photoshop. Adobe released several versions over the years that come with tools for removing red eye, changing colors, adding graphics and enhancing photos. Buying one of the newer versions can cost more money than you want to spend, but you might hesitate before using an older version because you want more features. This update transforms your old program and updates it to give you access to more modern tools.

One of the best features and tools that comes with this update is something called the Vanishing Point. You can now create your own grids on the top of your images and use those grids to change the perspective of the photo and make other changes. Those grids allow you to grab and move just one area of the image at a time without changing the look of the whole photo. You can also use this tool to make the background of your images match the objects or people in the forefront, which is helpful when manipulating and combining two or more images.

You shouldn't worry about the learning curve associated with using this software because this patch comes with a tutorial that Adobe developers designed to help you understand how to use the tools and top features. This tutorial actually walks you through each step and lets you experiment and try out those features before using the tools on your own photos. If you have problems with one step in that tutorial, you can watch it as many times as you need until you feel comfortable doing that step on your own.

This update will only work on computers running Photoshop CS2. If you have an older or newer version of the program, the update will not work for you. It comes in a small file that doesn't take up much space, and this file is easy to download and install. You can get the update up and running in well under an hour. This patch does not come with all the features that you'll find on the more recent versions of Photoshop though, but it comes with enough features that you can put off upgrading to a better version for some time. With this patch, you can create invisible grids to manipulate your images and use other tools to enhance and change all types of photos.
