Live paint allows the user to apply color to any area of their artwork. In this regard, he can also use overlapping paths to create new shapes.

Finally, CS2 users are given the control of visibility of layer comps in linked, embedded or opened Photoshop files. A great number of users appreciate the elimination of the need for multiple palettes. They also enjoyed its Wacom tablet support that offers pressure-sensitive drawing and erasing.
