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).
Even though it isn't really that obvious, the new Background Save and auto-recovery features are huge. Due to the ever-growing size of graphic files and the period of time it will take to save them, complete with progress bar, Background Save makes working in Photoshop a lot more convenient since you can easily work on other files without taking more of your time. Auto-recovery will rescue you from unpredicted incidents we've all encountered at one time.
Yet another time-saver is the capability to migrate your preset from the old version of the software. Photoshop CS6 is the earliest build to offer this crucial element so you will no longer have to set all of the presets you worked overtime 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.
