Photoshop Extended CS6 New Features:
Retouching magic - Retouch images with astonishing ease and precision. Patch images with greater control using Content-Aware Patch, which allows you to choose the sample area Content-Aware will use to magically create your patch.
Astonishing performance - See near-instant results when editing with key tools such as Liquify and Puppet Warp. The Mercury Graphics Engine delivers unprecedented speed and responsiveness for a fluid feel as you work.
Simplified 3D - Create eye-catching 3D artwork more easily with intuitive on-canvas and in-context scene editing. Easily drag shadows into place, animate 3D objects, give 3D objects the look of sketches or cartoons, and more.
Video editing - Edit video to include in your digital publishing projects. Quickly combine clips and stills using transitions, audio, and effects such as pan and zoom.
Blur Gallery - Quickly create photographic blur effects using a simple interface with on-image controls. Create tilt-shift effects, blur everything and then sharpen one focal point, or vary the blurriness between multiple focal points.
Additional Features Include:
- Faster design tasks, improved auto-corrections, background save, scripted patterns
- Scripted patterns, drawing enhancements, and preset sharing

CSS from design comps - Cleanly extract CSS elements and values (color, font, gradient, corner radius, and so on) with the new CSS Properties panel. Create CSS sprites from design comps.
Illustrator CS6 New Features:
Mercury Performance System - Work blazingly fast—even with processing-intensive effects such as blurs, glows, and drop shadows that used to slow you down. Access all the RAM on your system thanks to native 64-bit support on both Mac OS and Windows.

Image Trace - Convert raster images to editable vectors with a completely new tracing engine. Get clean lines, accurate fitting, and more reliable results without dealing with complex controls.

Enhanced user interface - Perform daily tasks such as editing layer names and selecting fonts in fewer steps. Keep the focus on your artwork with an adjustable-brightness “dark UI.”

Multiple versions in one file - Efficiently manage multiple layouts based on a single set of content. Use Alternate Layout to create multiple versions in one document. Use Liquid Layout to automate layout reformatting based on page size.
Linked content - Link content within or across InDesign documents, so that changes (including interactivity) made to the parent text or object are applied automatically to all linked children objects.
PDF forms - Create form fields directly within Adobe InDesign before you export to PDF. You can also assign the tab order in InDesign using the Articles panel.
Small, high-impact enhancements - Take advantage of over a dozen enhancements, including page-specific PPI, split window views, a recently used fonts list, and persistent text frame fitting options, to help you fly through production tasks without compromising quality.

Latest HTML5 and CSS3 - Take advantage of support for the latest web standard updates. Bring pages to life with CSS3 transitions, insert HTML5 video content, and test pages with a WebKit rendering engine that supports the display of HTML5 content.

The software is quite large and needs a fairly heavy-duty machine to work best. My 27" iMac with a 3.4Ghz quad-core i7 processor, 1TB solid-state drive and 16GB of memory is blindingly fast with most apps, but only "okay" with some of the more complex PhotoShop filters. Some of the blur and sharpen algorithms can take 15-20 seconds on my system. I do a lot of serious photography, and driving my Epson R3000 with PhotoShop seems to produce (very) slightly better looking prints than any other app I've used, including older versions of PhotoShop - I guess this makes all the resources worth it.
I tend to use PhotoShop and Dreamweaver more than the other apps, and the CS6 upgrade was a major difference for me and definitely worth the upgrade from CS5. I admit to having a bit of a "love/hate" relationship with PhotoShop - I know what it can do, but I tend to spend way too much time searching for just the right tool and outcome I want. No different from previous versions of PhotoShop, for all the power of these products, Adobe certainly could use a few lessons in user-experience design.
There's a whole community of add-on apps for PhotoShop, and I'm happy to report that most of the ones I tried, especially the Nik Software ones, worked flawlessly with CS6.... Read more ›
I have been using Adobe software for 20 years, now. This shoddy alpha-version crap doesn't even come close to living up to expectations.Do yourself a favor and wait for the next version, since bug fixes are apparently not something Adobe is willing to do for free, anymore.
