Adobe's Photoshop has finally seen an upgrade after 2 years with CS5/5.1. There are 65 new features included in the newest software. The first thing noticeable is an upgrade to the user interface upgrade and updated to be more user friendly.
"New Features in Photoshop CS6 BetaPhotoshop CS6 beta demonstrates Adobe’s focus on huge performance enhancements, imaging magic and creativity tools that offer customers a new experience in digital imaging. Key features include new additions to the Content-Aware tools: Content-Aware Patch allows greater control by letting users select and duplicate an area of an image to fill in or “patch” another, and Content-Aware Move lets users select and magically move an object to a new place in the image.
In addition, the Photoshop CS6 beta offers all the features of Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, such as new 3D editing features and quantitative imaging analysis capabilities. These features will be included in the shipping version of Photoshop CS6 Extended when it becomes available."
Above using just the quick select tool (used VERY quickly) and hitting backspace, the improvements to the content aware tools mean if time was taken when creating a selection, taking bits out of an image that you dislike or distract from the images has never been easier.
However Adobe have taken this one step further, again only done very quickly so not making full use of the tool, here is an example of how you can move an object within the frame:
Obviously, this is not a perfect move within the frame, however the speed and ease at which this was done does go a long way to contributing to that. It is also likely to work much better and easier with smaller parts of an image, where the frame is not full and or there is less background detail.
I will be using the Photoshop CS6 thoroughly throughout the BETA stage and will try and post more information as and when I find it.
