If you are referring to Photoshop, it would be the release.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 was released in February 2007, CS2 a few years before that etc.

There is also Photoshop Elements which has most of the features of CS3 but at a fraction of the cost.

John, It was quite a while ago when I upgraded to Photoshop CS2. I have CS3 now and highly recommend it just for the way it processes panoramas.

However, back to your question...

The biggest changes that I remember were that Bridge (the file manager part of Photoshop) went to a stand-alone program and became a whole lot more powerful and much easier to customize for the way you want to work.

The other big improvement was the raw converter (Camera Raw.) With CS2, I was finally able to stop using other raw converters and rely on Photoshop. Okay, well maybe I still use Capture One sometimes (even with CS3's raw converter), but most of the time I can rely on Photoshop.

If I remember correctly, there's also more batch processing capability with CS2.

That was just too long ago for me to remember much...

I do remember that there was a huge step change in going to CS2. It wasn't a trivial upgrade.

Hope this helps some...

I believe CS2 also introduced the shadow/highlight adjustment and HDR - although I'm not real sure about shadow/highlight.

I just recently upgraded from Photoshop CS to CS3, bypassing CS2. My wife gave me the upgrade for Christmas. The differences I've noticed with working about two weeks now:
the significant upgrade from "Browse" in CS to "Bridge" in CS3, and the new black and white and HDR converters.

If you have them both, by all means, use CS2. It's just better and in some cases, it's easier.

Get one of the Scott Kelby books and play some of the free tutorials out on the web. Just google Photoshop tutorial and you'll find tons of them.

After you watch a few, you'll start to get the hang of it. I still have a lot to learn about it myself, but I am getting more and more proficient at it every day.
