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 lots of revisions within the application which includes more than 65 "user-inspired" updates; we are going to focus on the most relevant modifications for photography fans for now.
The very first thing you will find is a dark user interface which provides you a more tightly focused viewpoint and a more complete overview of visuals. However, you can customize the backdrop by a quick right click or make the change in Preferences under the options section. Personally, I like the darker background but others may feel more comfortable with one that is even more dark or lighter.
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 migrate your preset coming from a recent release of the software. Photoshop CS6 is the earliest build to offer this crucial attribute which means you will no longer have to set all of the presets you worked overtime to recreate.
There were hopeful rumors Photoshop CS6 that it could possibly deliver blurry pictures into focus. In the meantime, we are going to let the Lytro camera keep hold of that claim. But Photoshop CS6 has a fresh blur gallery with 3 choices: Field Blur (a graduated blur), Tilt-Shift and Iris Blur. The latter is regarded as the important to produce targeted bokeh or depth-of-field. Just simply insert a point on the photograph to set the spot of focus after which moves two surrounding rings. Both inner and outer rings are changeable separately so that you can reveal where blur is the most powerful with the latter, while the inner ring controls feathering. If your lens doesn't get you just as much bokeh as you'd like, the Iris Blur tool gives you a simple and straightforward selection.
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 life simpler and photos much better. It's as easy as that. And, the ability to modify a big list of variables for video clips just boosts the variety of reasons photography enthusiasts will be downloading the beta by the thousands.
