Is there any way to view a before and after shot side by side in Adobe Photoshop CS2? I know you can do it with Adobe Elements 4.0 but I can't figure out how to do it with CS2.

I don't have elements but it is not all that hard to do in photoshop.

Let's assume that your image is 800 X 613 pixels. We'll also assume that you want the revised image to the right of the original. I do Image-Canvas size and double the width in the dialogue box as shown here:

and then I save this under a new file name. Open the original again and do your edits and once you are finished select all, edit-copy (copy merged if you have layers) and then go to your file with the enlarged canvas size and edit-paste. You might have to select your move tool and move the layers around a bit.

You should end up with an image that looks like the following (which I did just for illustration here).

There may be other ways of doing this but this works well for me and in some cases, if I am doing allot of this I put parts of it into an action.

If you wanted the after to be below the original you would double the height in the canvas size dialogue box.

My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
