How does Photoshop Lightroom differ from Adobe Photoshop CS2?
For many photographers, the difference is as simple as Lightroom for the many, and Photoshop for the one. Lightroom excels at processing large
volumes of photographs, creating the perfect negative, and outputting collections to web, print and slideshows. Photoshop remains the ultimate pixel-level, individual-image-editing
and compositing application. Together, Lightroom and Photoshop comprise the comprehensive software duet for the post-processing and editing of digital imagery.
For example, you may have 2,000 photographs and need to quickly preview, sort and rate them, embed your copyright on each, correct white
balance, change tonal and color values, and make monochrome copies (or add a wide array of other special effects). Then, you need to output to slideshow, print
or web, and all under the pressure of time constraints. For this common type of photographic workflow, Lightroom is the ideal solution.
Now perhaps some of your photographs are destined for an advertising layout. After choosing the premier images, you need to add a special
effect to a model's eyes, or change the pattern of a dress, or pull the model completely away from her background to create an intricate, multilayered composite.
For this, Photoshop is the ideal solution.
How does Photoshop Lightroom work with Adobe Photoshop CS2?
Lightroom and Photoshop CS" are tightly integrated, and there are two primary ways to open a photo from Lightroom in Photoshop CS2. If you

exported file in and include the new copy in your Lightroom Library, you can simply select "Edit in Photoshop" from the Photo menu, or Control/right-click the photo
and choose the command from the contextual menu. Likewise you can open Photoshop images in Lightroom, including TIFF, JPEG, DNG, raw, and single or multilayered PSD files.
