CS2 Problems
I have processed 562 scanned TIFF files with a WinXP machine. The editing steps were, acquire image from Bridge, the editing tools were all or some of Spot Healing Brush, Curves, Red Eye Removal, Color Replacement, and Smart Sharpen. Then save/close with shift/ctrl/W. I have encountered the following serious problems:
LOST FILES
56 times when trying to save/close, the following error message was displayed:
Could not save "file name" because the file is already in use or was left open.
Sometimes a work around was to try "Save As", but most of the time nothing worked except to close the file. In all cases, a file like "~ps47.tmp" was written to the disk.
When :Save As" worked, the original edited file was also written to the disk. When "Save As" didn’t work, the original file was lost.
This is a real dangerous problem.
BRIDGE LOSING FOCUS
Many, many times, when returning to Bridge from PS using shift/ctrl/W the original selected file was no longer highlighted. This is a terrible inconvenience.
BRIDGE NOT MAKING THUMBNAILS
Bridge was first used for this job when there were 532 files in the folder. Bridge made thumbnails for those file as expected.
Later I added 30 files to the folder. Bridge would not make thumbnails for these added files. Other programs, including My Computer, made thumbnails just fine. The issue is that Bridge didn’t even try to make the thumbnails.
The files could be loaded into Photoshop and edited just fine.
Finally, I transferred the 30 files to another folder and Bridge made thumbnails for them just fine.
RED EYE REMOVAL ERRATIC
The new Red Eye Removal tool works fine is some cases, but not at all in other cases, and terrible in some cases. When it was terrible, it put a dark cast all over the eye. I had to return to the Color Removal tool for most images.
CONCLUSION
Unless these problems can be corrected, CS2 is not stable enough for me. Hopefully, there will be an update very soon. I really don’t want to go back to CS.
