The Adobe Photoshop 9.0.1 update fixes a number of problems discovered after Photoshop CS2 (9.0) software was released.

The most significant fixes in the 9.0.1 release include the following:

• Photoshop no longer hangs for several seconds when using painting tools with quick strokes.
• A runtime error that could appear when mousing over a high-res document with the Brush tool has been fixed.
• Documents containing a large number of text layers now open more quickly.
• Problems related to palettes (slow redraw, palettes go white, possible crash) have been addressed.
• TIFF files from certain scanners can now be opened correctly.
• After editing an image in Photoshop CS2 via the TouchUp tool in Adobe Acrobat software, the image no longer gets repositioned.
• XMP metadata from AI and PDF files is now retained in Photoshop.
• Slow performance when toggling layer visibility has been fixed.
• Info palette numbers are now displayed and updated when moving a curve point in Curves via the cursor keys.
• Problems opening certain TIFF and PSB files greater than 2GB have been resolved.
• The Merge to HDR command now functions properly when using high-ASCII characters in user login.

I just loaded CS2 9.0 and clicked the "check updates" menu item and it told me no updates available.  However, with your link, I am downloading it as I write this.  Hope your Euro version doesn't crash on my U.S. installation!!

I didn't realize it was a European update.  AFAIK it should work, but you're the first.  Let us know how it goes!

Just had time to install it in my U.S. version.  No problems here so far.

Thanks - I guess no new features or speed-ups either.

I installed the upgrade to 8.0.1. 

So far everything is OK.  I see no big differences, other than a fade-in effect for menus.

I did hear one person from Australia (Euro version??) who had lockup problems when using some of the brushes.  She is an artist and uses a lot of layers and paint effects.  She reinstalled 9.0.0 and the lockups disappeared, so maybe some extreme uses can reveal bugs.  No problems here, Mike, with 9.0.1 so far.  Looks good.
