Its that time again, the new version of Photoshop is just around the corner and thank fucking finally it is going to have a WYSIWYG font menu!!!

I've been wanting them to have that since version bloody 4!!!

There are some bloody nice things being included this time around.

Time to get my boss to shell out £492 to upgrade me to Creative Suite 2 methinks (its £1,051 if you aren't upgrading!!)

Check the adobe website for movies showing each of the new additions in action.

Timesaving file handling with Adobe Bridge
Simplify file handling with Adobe Bridge, the next-generation File Browser, where you can process multiple camera raw images at once; resize, rate, and label thumbnails; quickly review images in Slideshow mode; search metadata; and more.

Multitasking
Take advantage of compact floating mode in Adobe Bridge to process images while simultaneously working in Photoshop CS2 or other CS2 applications.

Viewing options
Easily browse your Adobe Creative Suite and other graphics files in Adobe Bridge; present your images with features like Slideshow and Filmstrip mode; scale thumbnails to any size using a slider; and view and edit metadata.

Automated batch processing
Automatically process batches of images in Adobe Bridge to rename, convert format, adjust exposure, create a Web gallery or Adobe PDF Presentation, and more.

Rating and labeling
Quickly rate and label photos in Adobe Bridge so you can instantly bring up your best shots.

Sophisticated search
Easily find any image using sophisticated search capabilities in Adobe Bridge that let you specify a variety of parameters. Save searches as Collections that you can recall anytime.

32-bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) support
Create and edit 32-bit images, and combine multiple exposures into a single, 32-bit image with expanded range—from the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights.

Shadow/Highlight correction
Quickly improve the contrast of over- or underexposed areas of an image, including CMYK images, while preserving the overall balance of the photo.

Revolutionary Vanishing Point
Achieve amazing results in a fraction of the time with the groundbreaking Vanishing Point, which lets you clone, paint, and paste elements that automatically match the perspective of the surrounding image area.

Image Warp
Easily create packaging mock-ups or other dimensional effects by wrapping an image around any shape or stretching, curling, and bending an image using Image Warp.

Spot Healing Brush
Effortlessly retouch photos—including 16-bit images—in a single click with the advanced power of the new Photoshop CS2 Spot Healing Brush.

One-click red-eye correction
Instantly neutralize red eyes with the one-click red-eye correction tool, which supports 16-bit images and lets you set pupil size and darkening level.

Optical lens correction
Easily correct common lens distortions, such as barrel and pincushion, and fix chromatic aberrations and vignetting.

Smart Sharpen
Easily counteract common image blurring with fine correction control based on the specific blur types: motion, lens, and Gaussian.

Camera raw workflow enhancements
Process an entire photo shoot in a fraction of the time by simultaneously adjusting color, curves, cropping, and more—and continue working in Photoshop! With support for a comprehensive range of digital cameras, Photoshop CS2 lets you automatically adjust settings, convert to Digital Negative (DNG) format, and apply nondestructive edits to batches of images.

Advanced noise reduction
Polish digital photos with advanced noise correction in high-ISO shooting plus JPEG artifact reduction.

Special effects filters
Achieve amazing results with more than 95 special effects filters. Easily preview and apply more than one filter at a time from the Filter Gallery.

Web animations
Quickly create dynamic GIF animations—using one or more images—directly within Photoshop CS2 by taking advantage of the new Animations palette and layer palette animation options.

Customize with unprecedented adaptabilityCustom menus and keyboard shortcuts
Set up and save custom menus and keyboard shortcuts for quick access to the features you need.

Custom, task-based workspaces
Reduce onscreen clutter by choosing from task-based workspaces, or create your own with just the tools you need.

Adobe Help Center
Quickly get answers from the new, floating Adobe Help Center window with improved search features and convenient, task-based topics.

Enhanced automation
Use the new Image Processor command to process camera raw images, and use new built-in Actions to prepare images for film and video.

Event-based scripts
Accomplish more in fewer steps with event-based scripts that automatically activate at specified points in your workflow.

Variables
Instantly produce repetitive graphics with Variables, which automatically populate your design with data from spreadsheets or databases.

Convenient video preview
Design for broadcast more easily by previewing your Photoshop CS2 images on an NTSC or PAL monitor connected to your computer by IEEE 1394/FireWire/i.LINK.

32-bit HDR
Create and edit 32-bit, High Dynamic Range (HDR) images for the widest range and richest detail.

Work with unparalleled efficiencyMultiple layer control
Select and move, group, transform, and warp objects more intuitively by clicking and dragging directly on the canvas. Easily align objects with Smart Guides.

Smart Objects

Smart Guides
Design faster by automatically aligning objects to each other using Smart Guides.

WYSIWYG font menu
Quickly select typefaces from the font menu, which now displays a sample of each font.

Adobe Creative Suite integration
Work more smoothly across Adobe Creative Suite components with color-setting synchronization in Adobe Bridge, consistent viewing of onscreen color, and unified Adobe PDF file creation settings.

Instant video preview
See your broadcast graphics as they’ll appear to the audience, while you’re still building them. With one click, you can preview your Photoshop CS2 images on a television monitor connected to your computer by IEEE 1394/FireWire/i.LINK.

Simultaneous multiple-image editing
Save time by processing batches of raw images at once with nondestructive editing, including color settings, cropping, straightening, adjusting curves, and more. Even process images while continuing to edit or retouch them.

Nah, a grand is for the entire creative suite -

Adobe Photoshop® CS2
Illustrator® CS2
InDesign® CS2
GoLive® CS2
Acrobat® 7.0 Professional software with new Version Cue® CS2
Adobe Bridge
Adobe Stock Photos.

You can get get Photoshop on its own but that will probably cost you about £600. Thats why it makes more sense to go for the entire Creative Suite.
