Customers can download the beta, try out the experience and provide feedback to the product team to improve the final release product. Photoshop CS6 beta is powered by the new Adobe Mercury Graphics Engine, which speeds up functions like Liquify, Puppet Warp, Transform and Lighting Effects. It also sports a refined, modern interface featuring dark UI options to make images pop.
Performance enhancements include new additions to the Content-Aware tools. Content-Aware Patch allows users to select and duplicate an area of an image to fill in or ‘patch’ another. Content-Aware Move lets users select and move an object to a new place in the image. New and re-engineered design tools make creating designs faster and more efficient. Vector layers allow users to apply dashed lines and gradient strokes, searchable layers quickly zero in on any layer, and new type styles let designers swiftly apply type treatments to their designs. The beta version also comes with new 3D editing features and quantitative imaging analysis capabilities.
The Photoshop CS6 beta is available immediately as a free download in English and Japanese. At installation, users will be required to provide an Adobe ID to complete a one-time login and online product activation.
