I just tried in CS2 and it seems to work. TIFF is probably the most stable way to save your files if you're worried about being able to open files in the future. I don't remember - has Adobe created image files in earlier versions of Photoshop that CS2 or 1 can't open? I think it's not like the early days when file formats changed with every point-release. (I'm thinking of Page Maker here in particular).
