In addition to the crop tool, there is a perspective crop tool. You have to see this realize just how cool it is.

It’s all GPU accelerated, which means that everything happen onscreen and it’s fast! You can view the crop overlays and position your image within the crop bounds and even rotate it right on screen. The Crop tool is nothing short of amazing. (This one take a little practice to master, but is super useful when you have it tamed). Apply several lines to a panorama and you can either straighten in completely, or turn it into a mess. Using the adaptive wide angle, drag out a line and Photoshop straightens the photo to make the line level. If you have ever stitched any panos together, I’m sure you have noticed that they can get really distorted and wavy. This line is designed to straighten out barreled images and in particular panoramas. Of course there is nothing stopping you from adding blurs to both and going for a creative style effect.Īll of the blurs also have the option to set a Bokeh style highlight, which is either a specular white or a saturated color.Īn interesting addition to the warp-style effects. A smooth blend of blur will be created between the two points, You are supposed to set one point blurry and the other one sharp and move them around to create a smooth blend. You can set two points at different amounts of blur. This is a quick way to simulate depth of field. The third in the gallery is the field blur. This effect somewhat simulated what you would get with a Lensbaby type bellows lens. The Iris Blur allows you to position a circle on your image, the center of the circle is in focus and the pointers around it can be moved to define an in-focus region, which can be round or square, or a variation. You can have bright areas blown out with splashes of color, or just a tinge of white to simulate out-of-focus specular highlights. This is a lot of fun and the fun intensifies when you make changes to the light Bokeh. Add this filter adjust the blur and the drag to set the angle and area to be in focus. Its best to use a bird’s eye view, looking down at an angle without any horizon. This is similar to what you would get using a tilt shift lens at an angle, the result is that it makes things look like miniatures. The tilt-shift blur, adds a blur to the entire image, but retains a narrow strip of focus. We may as well start-off with what I predict will be the big one: Tilt-shift. They are all special effects… blurs that simulate different kinds of lens effects. Photoshop CS6 offers the option to migrate old presets over on launch I have to say that I love it! Blur Gallery (Tilt-Shift, Iris and Field) Redesigned toolsĪ new set of Blur filters, called the Blur Gallery hold a little more than meets the eye.
#Photoshop cc vs cs6 upgrade#
I know, I have several computers and it’s difficult to move them all over manually, and I always lose a few when I upgrade to a new version of Photoshop. This is great for people with lots of custom brushes, shapes, actions etc. Actually it’s just the clutter that’s gone, all the missing filters are tucked away under the Filter Gallery.ĭefinitely worth mentioning is Preferences can now be imported and exported. When you go into the filters menu, you might think a lot of filters are gone. If you are used to looking at the Masks Panel, the Adjustment controls for Adjustment layers and the 3D options, they have all been consolidated into a Properties panel. You can also press the Shift+F1 orF2 keys to cycle through the new colors.Īnother thing, you might not notice at first is that the look and feel of the panels have been tightened up and now more consistent naming is used throughout. I suggest giving the dark ones a go though, you might just love them. Yes, the old familiar light interface is one of the options. There are four different flavors of it and you can change them all in the preferences menu.

It’s a bit of a culture shock at first, but once you get used to it, it’s really great. The first thing you will notice when you first open Photoshop CS6, is the new look. Here are all the new features added in Photoshop CS6.Īll the videos related to this page can be viewed here User Interface.

However, if you want to buy CS6, you have to call into Adobe sales and order it. This isn’t widely known, because you wont find it on the Adobe site. If you would rather buy Photoshop, then CS6 available. You can subscribe to the Creative Cloud and get the latest Photoshop CC for a monthly fee ( See all the new features added in CC here). At this time there are 2 options for Photoshop.
