Adobe CS6 -- Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash
Brian O'Neal Hughes senior project manager photoshop
Adobe Photoshop CS 6
This is the first public beta of
Photoshop is used for such a wide variety of things.... is it trying to be too much to too many people?
Lightroom makes certain assumptions. "Photoshop does not assume anything about the person that's using it -- it just says here's a whole set of tools you can use". People use things in unexpected ways. "We've been tuning workflows.. not just adding adding adding. There's a lot of working with what we've got and making sure it works as best it can. There's a lot more that's designed to just work -- the blur tools.
Nobody building photoshop v1 probably imagined it would one day be the go to software for web developers slicing up images etc
27th of feb for photoshop touch on ios
same sys requirements as the previous release (still supports win xp as well though some 3D features won't work since drivers and software for 3D on xp)
Public beta for free
What problems does it solve? Being able to amange the activations -- previously you needed to call Adobe and deactivate software and making sure you have the latest updates.
Bridge is now 64 bit native which makes it faster (can address more RAM)
mini bridge can be a tray at the bottom of the window, a bit like you'd find in Lightroom.
Like Lightroom the Camera Raw dialogue has been revamped and the underlying image processing tools have been rewritten -- see out earlier Lightroom review for more details on what's changed with raw adjustment
Totally revamped interface for the first time in 22 years -- adobe calls it "a more immersive experience" Not everyone is a photogra[pher looking for a lightroom-style interface so there are actually a variety of shades to choose from, including one that will look just like the good old light grey interface you're accustomed to.
review of photoshop circulated and every single widget has been rewritten and unified. The interface is more polished than its every been. It
Background saves -- auto recover that fits nicely with Mac OS x, or MS office apps which recover when they crash.
Transforms -- free transform, liquify, etc are now pushed throught he GPU, the Adobe mercury graphics engine
Adobe's own fact gathering system tells a different story. In fact we do use "auto" features and we use them a lot. So much so that Adobe decided they needsed some improvements. Auto is now a much more analytic engine in some cases doing monochromatic content aware adjustments -- with no gaps in the histigram. For photographers the improvments to levels and curves auto features will make developing and fine tuning images much, much faster
New blur options -- iris, field, and tilt shift shallower depth of field -- like turning even your iphone into a f/1.4 lens. Again there's nothing you can't do here with CS5 and a high end DSLR, but now you can do it faster woithout fiddling as much. bokeh adjustments -- the light in the image
adaptive lens filter is much better at correcting the distortion of wide angle lenses
Video support arrived in CS 3 extended, but few people used it and it wasn't easy to use. Video is now in regular photoshop, not just PS extended. There's now a timeline and interface somewhat like what you'll find in Premeire elements. Add and combine video, stills, drag and drop timeline, use filters -- make black and white -- add transitions is simple, drag and drop transitions into the image. You can use layers for overlays, for example text, or black and white filter etc. Also pan and zoom ken burns style movement ofr still images. Export presets for just about anything you could imagine. If you have Preiemer Pro installed as well you'll have even more options for high end formats.
MAGIC--
Content aware patch tool -- so you can use content aware till's rather amazing algorithm but direct which portions of your image for the algroythm to draw from (like you always have with the patch tool)
Content aware move -- select portions of the image and moving them to other portions of the image. can also extend as in the roof.
Crop tool -- the minute you click it the entire image is selected , to straighten you can just drag a line along the plane you'd like to straighten to. The crop tool is now non-destructive
masks --- skin tone maskes that detect faces
Designer stuff--
The vector engine has been rewritten so that it's now (as it should be) easy to make a line dashed or dotted or anything else.
Layers -- some documents have 100s even 1000s of layers. There's now a search functions for layers -- search by modes, attributes, type -- if you;'re a day to day designer working in photoshop, this features alone is going to save you hours of time and compeltely change your workflow.
little things -- Built in Lorem ipsom
