We evaluated Photoshop CS6 Extended (64-bit) beta just before its release on an HP EliteBook 8560w along with Windows 7. The primary differences from the Standard and Extended editions, other than the price tag, are the innovative 3D abilities of the other. Adobe has sorted out functionality in both versions but because it's a beta version, we will not comment thoroughly on that aspect of the program until we evaluate the finalized release soon.
There are many improvements around the program which includes over 65 "user-inspired" upgrades; we are going to discuss the most relevant modifications that are important to photographers.
The very first thing you will find is a fresh, darkish interface which gives you a far more focused viewpoint and much more adequate evaluation of photos. Even so, you can change the backdrop by a simple right click or by making the change in Preferences. Personally, I prefer the dark backdrop but others may feel more at ease with one that is even darker or lighter (there are four options by the way).
Though it isn't really noticeable, the new Background Save and auto-recovery options are huge. Given the ever-growing size of image files and the amount of time it requires to write them to your hard drive, Background Save tends to make these tasks in Photoshop far more beneficial because you can carry on other files while you wait. Auto-recovery will rescue you from unforeseen episodes in editing where most of us have experienced.
Another time-saver is the power to move your preset from your recent version of the program. Photoshop CS6 is the very first to offer this crucial element so you don't have to re-create every presets you worked so hard to build.
There are optimistic speculations that Photoshop CS6 could possibly deliver blurry pictures into focus. But Photoshop CS6 features a new blur gallery with 3 choices: Field Blur, Tilt-Shift and Iris Blur. The last one is the most important to create targeted blurs. Simply place a point on the picture to set the area of focus and after that moves two surrounding rings. Should your lens wasn't able to get as much bokeh as you wanted, the Iris Blur tool gives you a simple and straightforward solution for that.
Other news for Photoshop CS6 is that video preferences have been improved (even beyond Lightroom 4's capabilities) and are now available with the Standard and the Extended versions. Along with creating image changes common to all photographers such as brightness, contrast, color balance and employing general tools like Levels and Curves (and placing them in layers), it is possible to pick from 5 transitions and a lot more.
Adobe Photoshop CS6 can certainly make your life easier and pictures far better. It's as easy as that. And, the ability to change color, brightness and a big list of boundaries for videos simply adds to the variety of reasons photographers will be downloading the beta by the hundreds of thousands. We undoubtedly anticipate just as many to upgrade when the final build is available.
