Launching Photoshop CS2

You can launch Photoshop like any other program. When you launch Photoshop, a Welcome Screen dialog box appears, displaying easy access links to new features, tutorials, tips and tricks from the experts, color management, informative movies, and more. When you access a link, your browser or Adobe Acrobat Reader opens to display the information or media you want to see. If you don't want to display the Welcome Screen dialog box every time you launch Photoshop, you can clear a check box on the dialog box. After you dismiss the Welcome Screen dialog box on first use, the Adobe Updater Preferences dialog box () appears, asking you to select options to update Photoshop and it's related software. If you want to access the Welcome Screen or Adobe Updater Preferences dialog box later, you can use the Help menu.
