First Review on Photoshop CS6

According to Adobe, the new version does not only change in the UI. 62% of features on CS6 are completely new and more innovative than in previous versions. Particularly, the most significant change are the faster speed and editing tools are easier to use.

Another interesting improvement is the video support. Photoshop CS6 supports video editing powerfully and intuitively, as well as more video formats. The video editing effects can also be applied to each frame of video, so you can edit and add effects to a video easily.

Photoshop CS6 aims at more simple use and powerful tools for those who don’t specialize in graphics. We can tell the Content Aware Move feature which allows moving objects on a picture easily. For example, we can move 2 objects on the image closer together in just a few clicks. Another great feature is Content Aware Fill which allows users to remove unwanted objects from pictures easily, then Photoshop will automatically fill in the blank area behind the moved object.

For those wanting to focus on an object and blur the area around, Photoshop CS6 also offer Blur Gallery feature which could help us do it easily by blurring any selection of the image. Photoshop CS6 allows focusing on multiple selection on the image to focus, instead of just a single object.

CS6 is also equipped with auto-save feature to save your work automatically in case your computer crashes or reboots.
