Animation Panel
Now you can do the animations right in the Photoshop itself, you don't have to change to ImageReady to do some simple animations. Animation panel can be accessed from Window>Animation

Selecting Multiple Layers
A new feature which is really really useful in CS2 is the ability to select multiple layers using Ctrl+Click. When you select multiple layers they are all temporarily selected together and can be moved together. It's like a temporary linking method.
