Some of the main reasons to update to CS6 (especially from CS4) are that so many of the things that didn't work at all well in earlier versions of Photoshop work extremely well in the CS6 version. I clearly remember the days when brightness and contrast would NEVER be used by professional photographers. And neither professional photographers nor professional graphic designers would have used the burn and dodge tools, which now work brilliantly. The same goes for the auto tone, auto contrast and auto colour. The content-aware move tool is also quite impressive, though it doesn't work brilliantly for ALL images. The patch tool is a great improvement on that in CS4, though once again I can't say if this is the case against CS5.5. I probably haven't given Photoshop CS6 anywhere near the testing that professional photographers and graphic designers would, but I have to say it never gave me a moment's concern. Everything worked brilliantly. Most graphic designers and professional photographers will be using much faster machines than my (second-hand) 2008 8-core 2.88 Mac Pro (with 10GB RAM) on which Photoshop CS6 was still amazingly fast. I'm using OS 10.7.4, BTW.
I have (at least so far) only one serious disappointment to report (one that has been moaned about by other users, I would hasten to add): there are still no glyphs. I have had to resort to InDesign (CS4) though Illustrator would also do the trick, and then export the file as an EPS, open it in Photoshop and drag the layer onto my Photoshop document. It's so time-consuming and we shouldn't have to do it. If Adobe can supply the feature in both InDesign and Illustrator, why can't it be ported to Photoshop as well? I suppose there must be a valid reason; I can't imagine that Adobe just thought Photoshoppers wouldn't be interested.
While, as stated, I won't be upgrading, I'd like to thank Adobe for making their Beta version of Photoshop CS6 available for anyone to download and trial. It's been a real pleasure.
Now come on, all you professional Mac operators. To have only an amateur review here is just "not on"!
