Photoshop CS6 includes a lot of small enhancements that will generally make much life easier for those working on complex artwork.
This means that for the first time it's possible to record an entire painting operation, and have it played back with a single keystroke. Extending Actions in Photoshop CS6Īctions, the means by which you can automate repetitive tasks, have been extended so that they can now store brush movements as well as menu and selection choices. The Select Color dialog in Photoshop CS6 can now select skin tones automatically, with a special Face Detection mode that performs well - even when the subjects are wearing hats and sunglasses. In practice, it works remarkably well: it's not perfect, and when used in conjunction with a mask on an Adjustment Layer it will require some manual fine-tuning, but it's a big help. The Select Color Range tool now has an option to select skin tones - and, within it, a separate option to select faces. It seems a little unintuitive at first, until you rotate a crop, when it suddenly makes sense: now, the image rotates behind the window, so you can see how it will look without having to crane your neck as you did previously. The Crop tool has been reworked so that cropping now pans the image behind the crop window. If you still manually revert to a saved file, though, it will always go back to the one you deliberately chose to save, rather than its own intermediate version. Those strokes can now be dotted and dashed, and can be filled with gradients.Īdobe Photoshop CS6 will now not only save in the background, allowing you to carry on working while it's saving, but will also auto-save a version avery few minutes so that, in the event of a crash, you can pick up from where you left off. Tool enhancementsĭesigners will love the new Paragraph and Character Style panels in Photoshop CS6, which allow favourite combinations to be set and adjusted at will - as well as the fact that Shapes layers are now true vector objects, which means you can now apply strokes inside, outside and centred on paths, as well as being able to stroke open paths. It's of particular benefit to Mac users, for whom Lighting Effects disappeared in Adobe Photoshop CS5 unless they were running the program in sluggish 32-bit mode.
The Lighting Effects filter has had a major overhaul, ditching the previous tiny preview in favour of a full-screen, GPU-accelerated preview that shows changes in real time.
Enhancements to Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6 include a greatly improved Clarity control, as well as the ability to apply localised noise reduction using adjustment brushes Lighting Effects filter in Photoshop CS6
