PS CS2 chanllenged Does anyone know?

[cactusclay]

I'm trying to get the hang of CS2 and I was wondering if anyone knew if when I'm in smart object, does that mean that I can do all my editing without loss of quality, like in raw. Another thing I don't get is what image ready mode does different than regular CS2 mode. Sorry if they are stupid questions, but I don't have a book yet. Thanks for your help. Clay :oops:

Smart Objects is imported illustrations from Illustrator that does not "flatten" and becomes pixelated. You can scale it without any quality loss, within Photoshop.

Here's a good link with a QuickTime video to describe it: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/pop_smart.html

Doesn't CS2 come with a book?
