Photoshop CS6 Beta now available

Postby Bob » Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:49 pm

In case you missed it, Adobe has just released the free public beta of Photoshop CS6. The beta will include the features of both Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CS6 Extended and will last about 7 weeks. The production releases of the standard and extended editions will come shortly after.

There are some great new features and Adobe has reworked and improved older features as well. Rather than describe them here, take a look at the NAPP CS6 Learning Center videos or, for a more detailed look take the free two and a half hour FREE Lynda.com Photoshop-CS6 Beta Preview course.

One of the more interesting behind the scenes changes is the inclusion of the Mercury Graphics Engine. This gives you GPU accellerated tools such as Liquify, Puppet Warp, Crop, and video. You can now do basic video editing directly in Photoshop. It won't replace Premiere Elements or Pro, but it does have some interesting capabilities.

I read somewhere that it should run on Windows XP with the exception of 3D features and some GPU-enabled features. Liquify, for example, will only use cpu on XP, not gpu. Not sure if that's a beta issue or a platform issue. Probably will have to wait for general release to find that out.

No, that didn't make it in this release. The demo kind of glossed over the need to set image dependent parameters before doing the unblur and said that would need to be addressed before its made available. I'm guessing that wasn't that easy to do.

Darn, I was looking forward to that. I can never throw out blurry pictures of the grand-kids and was hoping I could finally fix those. :(
But thank you, Bob, for your reply.
