 Be careful of fakes December 26, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I purchased a "new" copy from a reseller here on Amazon. Everything looked great. I am not a heavy photoshop user, but need it when I need it. About 3 month go by when I noticed some of the functions and keyboard commands did not work. I searched adobe's user forum and realized I received a fake copy. It had a complete user manual, packaging, etc. Even had a fake registration page that doesn't actually connect to adobe. Amazon was great with their A-Z Guarantee and covered it. But, BE CAREFULL. If the price looks too good, it probably is. My copy came from FL if that helps anyone.
 Very pleased December 2, 2007
Much cheaper than the new version, and who needs the new one without mastering the old one.
GREAT!!! October 20, 2007

-Adobe Bridge
-Actions
-curves

Does CS2 Run on Vista? August 3, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Will CS2 run on Vista? I use a newer Photoshop version at work, now I want it at home. I cannot upgrade from my old Photoshop 5.5 because I lost the disk and cover. My new computer runs Vista.
Thanks
Linda
 If you use a RAID system, beware! July 24, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The heavy handed activation system does not work with a computer using RAID storage. The software continually looks for proof of activation and that the system did not change.
With a raid system, the software thinks you have installed the program on a new computer and prompts you to enter the serial number (24 digits) then the activation number (36 digits) and then it tells you it can not fix it online. Once you call, a telephone computer asks you to put in the same 60 digits and then tells you that you need to talk to a person.
Twenty minutes later, the tech support person, who does not know enough to ask you whether you have a RAID system, comes on the phone. After verbally telling them all 60 digits of activation code and serial number, along with the required "read it back" to correct errors, they give you a 24 digits activation code which you put into the computer.
All seems fine. When you open one of the Adobe programs, it asks for the activation again, this forces you to go through the same process again until you get smart and ask for a more experienced tech support person. Finally someone asks you if you have a RAID system. They then acknowledge a problem and offer to expedite a patch to you. Expedite means they will send it to out in a few days via email. In the mean time the software will not operate. It also prevents the Free Adobe reader from working. I am still waiting for the patch, so I though I would spend my time writing reviews.
I have used the Adobe software programs in CS2 on other computers and they are not bad. I find some of the conventions counter intuitive so my learning curve is slow on this software. It is the industry standard but with service like I experienced it is questionable how long that will continue.
