Best guess on CS2 upgrade date?

[Tempe@adobeforums.com]

I am considering upgrading to the full CS suite shortly & usually get burned by buying end-of-cycle products. Anyone have a guesstimate as to the CS2 timeline? (used to be around 18 months for Photoshop upgrades)

Or will a free CS1.5 patch/upgrade version pop up first?

TIA

Adobe does not comment on release dates of products.

Well, anyone NOT gainfully employed by Adobe may feel free to comment. (hence the user-to-user header)

As this version has only been out for about six months, I reckon that you will have a long wait on the sidelines if you are going to sit it out until CS2.

And who can tell if CS2 will even offer the complete Suite as an Upgrade to existing owners of Photoshop 7.

I heard they were releasing CS2 next week. B)

Also, sometimes there is no ".5" release... and if there is one planned, it probably won't be free.

Notice that there is no dot release for CS?

CSdot

But there have been dot releases for a number of its components: InDesign, Illustrator, GoLive, Acrobat Pro. Can Photoshop be far behind?

[Allen_Wicks@adobeforums.com]

Sure would be nice if they did some of the things that should have been in the original PSCS. Like making Web Photo Gallery modifiable in a meaningful Photoshop-quality way.

[Ann_Shelbourne@adobeforums.com]

That's why we have a Suite, Allen, so that you can then make further tweaks in GoLive.

hmm..

[Ann_Shelbourne@adobeforums.com]

I notice that is only a "hmm" -- not a "hmmm".

Closer than we think, perhaps?

[Mike_Ornellas@adobeforums.com]

or not at all.

mhh..

who the hell am I to say.

so I go from fool to a misunderstood genius in one year.

what next...

Good opportunity to go to 8.x and dump the monumental silliness of "CS".

[JasonSmith@adobeforums.com]

Yeah, when's the CS.01 update coming out?

[Buko@adobeforums.com]

When is the Adobe update going to be released?

[Mike_Ornellas@adobeforums.com]

hmm..

We have updated CameraRaw to v2.1 for CS and are also looking to address a couple of MP specific issues via a plugin update, we are also evaluating some tile size tweaks that we may release. At this time, these are the only updates planned for Photoshop CS.

Edit: As Thomas has mentioned, we will supply periodic updates to CameraRaw to include new camera support. (also added tile size info)

Thank you Stephanie for keeping us in the loop.

[Actually, Photoshop 8 has proved an exemplary release here.]
