i have found two features of CS2 very useful. the first is that Adobe Bridge
lets me work with batches of RAW files applying adjustments to them in
background. the adjustments are stored in the Camera RAW image database and
don't produce images other tools like Capture One and RAW Shooter Essentials
do that too, but find that CS2's adjustments provide much better results
than RAW Shooter Essentials and i am not about to shell out for Capture One.
the other is Merge to HDR, which matters for landscape shooters like me,
since i can take a long sequence of aligned images over a full range of
exposures and merge them into one very wide dynamic range image. it is
easily practical to get 10 or 15 stops of usable dynamic range. beyond these
two features, there really isn't anything i care about that i can do with
CS2 that i wasn't able to do with CS.

I don't know.
It cost me less than $60 as I was sent a special offer price. I was on
their mailing list after downloading the trial version of the bundle
ages ago.
I didn't have CS2 and was reluctant to upgrade from CS as the Smart
sharpen seemed to me to be the only thing worth upgrading for at the
time. This was a much cheaper alternative.
