How do I straighten images using Photoshop CS2?

Can someone please tell me how I straighten images like horizons and buildings using Photoshop CS2?
I run the software under Windows XP
Thank you.

What I do is press Ctrl-T which activates Free Transform. I press Ctrl-" which turns on the grid. I can then rotate the file to correct a drooping horizon, or I can Right-Click on the image to activate the contextual menu, and select Skew. In that mode, I can grab a corner and drag it up or down, right or left, to shift or tilt the image.
Another way to level horizons is to use the Measure tool and from the menu, <Image>, <Rotate Canvas>, <Arbitrary>. You use the Measure tool to draw a line from one part of the horizon to another. When you click Arbitrary you'll get a little dialog. Click <OK> and the image rotates. You'll need to deal with cropping next since your image no longer fills the corners.

Can you guide me how to mirror an image using Photoshop CS4 ME ?

hello guys...
as I was surfing the InDesign forum, I just found this which is exactly like the question I was about to ask, but since I read that it's not that easy to do it with InDesign, I am sure that it's doable by Photoshop, but how ???
any way to do it ???
thank you very much .

Unfortunately I'm not too good for recommending good tutorials, as I'm almost 100% self-taught (experiment, try, fail, try again, succeed, that kind of thing).
A Google search for "create mirrored image using Photoshop" does turn up a lot of tutorial content, e.g., http://www.photoshop911.com/tricks/mirror_image.html
With Photoshop you can do anything to an image given sufficient time and effort.
Enjoy the journey!

How do I resize an image in Photoshop CS2?

Hi! I'm trying to resize an image in Photoshop Cs2 with OUT making it grainy or blurred. Please help!? I know there's some key you can hold down while dragging with the mouse but eh I forgot it! o_0 please help!

Jody...
If you have a vector version of the logo, the smartest thing is to resize it as vectors to the size you want, and
then
rasterize it.
Case in point:
I was trying to make a 16px × 16px favicon for my blogspot site, and the only way I could get the details to appear nice and clean was to create the entire thing from shape layers, transform them all in one go to fit inside a 16px × 16px box I defined using guidelines, and THEN rasterize it using the Save For Web dialogue.

Why does Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
You need to be.
2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
Ap2
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
Ap3
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.

How can I select printers in Photoshop CS2?

Hi all. First time poster, as I've just come across a new problem for me....
For years I have been using Photoshop CS2 on a Windows XP machine (in a work environment where old hardware attached to the PC would not allow for an upgrade). I had 4 printers installed (desktop HP, brother labels, richo for bits and bobs and an Epson WFP 9700)
I had the HP desktop selected as default, as this is the one I print to every day. From Word, PDF;s Outlook etc, everything goes to the HP.
When I used Photoshop installed on XP I had an option form within Photoshop to select printer. (Print with preview / Page Setup / Select Printer) I would often design some artwork and print in draft mode on the HP, then swap printer within CS2 and select the Epson to print a 44" etc.
I have today upgraded to a Win 7 PC (Xeon 5450 dual quad core) and used the very same installation package to reinstall CS2 on the new machine. There is no longer the option to choose printer from WITHIN Photoshop. I have to set the default printer from within windows before I can use it in CS2. This is incredibly annoying as I frequently swap between two printers from within the application.
So...does anyone know how I can get that option back? Swapping from within windows is not a solution; this is in a work environment and needs to be accessible from Photoshop.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Andy

Officially, Adobe no longer supports CS2 and doesn't recommend using it on newer operating systems since it pre-dates them all by several years. Can you install CS2 in XP Compatibility Mode? Even then, some features may not work right. It's too old.

How do I access ACR using Photoshop CC?

How do I access ACR using Photoshop CC? Can I download the latest version of ACR for my camera and use the plug-in with Photoshop CC? When I had CS5 I could easily access ACR. Now I have CS6/CC I don't seem to be able to edit my images in ACR. What do I need to do to access ACR?

I use photoshop cs2 - When i use the sketch filter - photocopy on a jpg/psd it comes up plain white (most of the time)

I use photoshop cs2 - When i use the "sketch filter - photocopy option" on a jpg/psd it comes up plain white (most of the time). Once in a while it works.. Can anyone give me a hint on how to fix this or a hint on what I'm doing wrong.

Those filters work best when the foreground and background colors in the toolbox are different.
Try pressing the D key on your keyboard to set the defaults of foreground Black and background White and then try the Filter>Sketch>Photocopy.

How to renew my license for Photoshop cs2?

I bought a Photoshop cs2 disk years ago and used to work with it without any problem. However, now the dialog appears saying that I should apply for a new admission to use the license, and , moreover, that I may use a telephone channel. Here, I finally got to a web site for a chat with you. Could you help me how to activate my present license?

Dear Trevor and John,
Thank you for your kind advice. I have realized that cs2 is no longer
supported.
Since my old iBook G10 is also going to be out of date, I will replace it
for a more recent type with appropriate new soft wares. Thank you again for
you assistance.
S.T.

Lightroom won't open an image in Photoshop CS2

I have Photoshop 1.1 on a PC running Windows XP. I can't open a Lightroom image in Photoshop CS2 through the "photo" menu because the menu selection to open an image in Photoshop is dimmed. Also in "Preferences" in the "external editors" tab it says "Photoshop not found." My Photoshop is on the same drive as Lightroom. Am I wrong in assuming LR should open an image in CS2?
In a related matter I opened a Photoshop customer support case about this, but did not receive a reply. Is this typical of Adobe? Isn't this the kind of question they should answer even without a paid support plan?

Richard,
What I did when faced with a similar situation was to go to Control Panel, and select Add or Remove Programs, then select Uninstall or Change for Adobe Photoshop CS2, then when prompted whether to Uninstall or Repair, choose Repair. This will fixup all the registry entries that appare to be missing from your system.
Works for me at least.

Photoshop and elements 13
Working in iPhoto
Want to edit image using photoshop elements
Did the following
IPhoto>Preferences>Advanced>Edit Photos: In drop down menu chose in Photoshop Elements
Also control click and chose edit in external editor
Drop down menu edit photos in external program>photoshop Elements
Go to to the image I'm working on --- selected the image, the clicked on edit. When nothing happened I double clicked the image. Still elements didn't open. Then I opened the Elements editor, went back to iphoto and tried the entire process again. the photo still didn't open on Elements 13 for editing.
I have 3 Elements 13 books as well as looked on line--all my references say the exact same thing ---- iPhoto>Preferences>advanced>edit in external program>photoshop Elements
I uninstalled and reinstalled both iPhoto as well as Elements.
I spoke with application technical support. There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto. However there is no support from Adobe. I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder. The PSE file at the top level of the PSE folder in Applications is just an alias for the welcome screen and what you're describing is exactly what happens when you choose that. You want this one:

There is no free version of CS2. There is only a special version of CS2 available for people who purchased it and need to reinstall it.

There's no real place to put a question like this on this forum, especially in the iChat subgroup.
Adobe Photoshop is a very powerful and complex graphics program with a hugh support system including the built-in help menus and online forums. There must be 200 books on the program and even more web sites with information and training for Photoshop. It is beyond the scope of this Apple Leopard user forum to teach you what you should be reading about.
You can start here: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ee6b362/
You can also Google for: macintosh photoshop cs2 "blur tool"
Meanwhile, are you having any issues with your Macintosh computer or the Leopard Operating system?

I work for a funeral home that has used Photoshop CS2 for years.

I work for a funeral home that has used Photoshop CS2 for years. Within this program, we were able to upload a background "file" with themes - i.e., spring flowers, fall leaves, etc. We would scan in pictures given to us by the deceased's family and "place" these on top of the background slide. We then used a software program, Nero, to create a slide show with music to play during the viewing. I've spent some time looking over the products and do not see one that will allow us to continue this very simple practice. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak to someone about this. Thank you.

Newer versions of Photoshop have new feature that CS2 does not have. However CC 2014 like CS2 does not have a slide show with sound feature. I have a Windows 7 Pro system. Have CS2, CS6, CC and CC 2014 installed. You need and Updated CS2 Installer to install CS2 on windows. CS2 is a 32 bit Photoshop there is no CS2 version that will run on new Mac computers their 64 Bit OS offered no 32bit options.
A $10 a month subscription will keep up to date with the latest Photoshop. Your other option is to buy CS6 for $700. CS6 is no longer supported it just marketed as is.

Mac or Windows?
Have you actually installed it, or just downloaded your purchased copy? If just downloaded then you need to double-click the downloaded file from wherever you saved it to. This will run the installer and ask you to enter your serial number (which you should NEVER post in a public forum such as this).
If you have installed it, and if you're using Windows, it should have placed shortcuts on the desktop. But if not click Start and type 'photo' without the quotes and you should see an entry for PSE.
Cheers,
Neale
