Photoshop CS2 and CS3 have an option called File Info that can save time in writing and placing captions for photos while helping pho tographers improve their skills.

n this new feature, we will take an item from a yearbook highlighted in Caught Our Eye and explain how to create it. It could be an image, a graphic or an interesting treatment, whatever we find that we think you will want to know about.
