Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 Standard
New to Photoshop CS2 are Vanishing Point, a visual adjustment tool; Smart Objects, a feature that allows for nondestructive editing of images; and Camera Raw 3.0, a plug-in that provides access to a variety of popular digital-imaging formats. Illustrator CS2 ships with Live Trace, a tool that coverts scanned line art or bit-mapped images into vector-based drawings for editing. InDesign CS2 features better control of rich black and CYMK (cyan, yellow, magenta, black) values.
Unfortunately, Adobe still hasn't fully integrated ImageReady CS2 within Photoshop CS2, which means some tools remain orphaned within ImageReady. As in Photoshop, you can set customized work spaces within Illustrator CS2; but unlike with Photoshop CS2, no preset work spaces are provided within Illustrator CS2, so you'll have to create them all from scratch. We noticed a slight file incompatibility between InDesign CS files and InDesign CS2 files that prevented us from being able to work on older files. Finally, the Creative Suite 2.0 package is not for old hardware: you'll need a pretty powerful PC to run everything.
That said, for design teams working in print formats, Creative Suite 2.0 Standard provides the tools you'll need.
