I may have dabbled with dubious versions in my mispent past (going back to 1999), but if you're serious about photography, a legitimate version ultimately makes sense. The cost is not huge when you think about how important photoshop is to your final product, and compared to what camera equipment costs these days, it brings things into perspective. Having moved from CS3 to CS6, the new features on offer are quite dramtic, the adaptive wide angle filter is an amazing tool and is actually 'fun' to use and experiment with. The shadows and highlights tools has been improved considerably, with halos a thing of the past. Noise reduction is impressive, and as effective as any add-on plug-in...just a shame that brushing noise reduction that features in current adobe lightroom, isn't available in photoshop. One feature, not sure when it was introduced, that has grabbed my attention is the ability to fade most adjustments, and this has proved it's worth when fine tuning an image after an auto adjustment has not quite done the job, but has got pretty close. Bridge seems to work seemlessly, although I gather some have had issues (I use Win7 64), the mini bridge feature is handy but I do wish I could find out how to get Bridge to launch at the same time as I open Photoshop...which was the case with CS3. As with most photographers, even advanced ones, I will only ever scratch the surface of what photoshop can offer.... but each year I learn something new in photoshop, which increases it's worth to me. All in all, very glad I finally pulled the trigger on a full version. Review: An impressive upgrade - I've been using Photoshop for years, pretty much always the latest version, and it's fair to say that not all upgrades have been equally significant. CS6 is genuinely a solid new version, with some very useful additions and tweaks. I primarily use PS for software and web user interface designs and mockups, rather than photo editing or retouching. I work with large documents, dozens or hundreds of layers, and make heavy use of Layer Styles. If your job involves retouching, I'm still sure you'll find many worthwhile new features here (Content-Aware Patch, and Blur Gallery are prime examples), but my own experience naturally focuses on the type of work I do. Here's what I'm most enjoying in CS6: 1. True vector shapes. Shapes created with the various Shape tools now have genuine strokes as well as fills, as you may be familiar with from Adobe Illustrator. These are entirely independent of the Stroke Layer Style. You can apply a colour, gradient or pattern stroke to a shape (or disable the stroke entirely), and you can apply dashed, dotted and even custom line-gap-line-gap styles of line with your own choice of corner types, mitering etc. It opens up a lot of possibilities for scaleable graphic effects without using a lot of layers. 2. Global pixel-snapping. There's finally a global option (in Preferences) to make all vector tools and transforms auto-snap to the pixel grid, for sharp edges. They've also correspondingly refined the relationship between zoom-level and nudging (you can still get the old behaviour too). This saves so much hassle with partial-pixel anti-aliasing mess around the edges of shapes. 3. Layer search. You can now search the Layers palette, by Kind (pixel-based, adjustment, text, shape, or Smart Object), Name, Effect (Layer Style), compositing mode, label colour, and even a host of other properties like visibility, locked status, whether it has a layer mask applied, and more. Layers which don't match your search disappear from the Layers palette until you clear the search. It's incredibly useful, and instantly gets rid of the need to flip Groups open or closed just because you want to, say, copy a Layer Style from a particular layer that's deeply nested. 4. Layer Styles for Groups. You can now apply Layer Styles to Groups (the folders in the Layers palette), as well as to Layers themselves. You can do both, and the styles accumulate. You can achieve some previously pretty much impossible effects with this conceptually simple but incredibly powerful feature. You can even nest Groups and apply Layer Styles to them all, just as you'd want. 5. Editing improvements. You can now click on the canvas to create a shape, as well as dragging the shape out as before. You'll see a dialog letting you enter precise dimensions, which is a huge time-saver. When creating, moving or transforming shapes you'll see a mini-display beside the mouse pointer, showing appropriate information like width and height, or horizontal and vertical movement. Much nicer than having to watch the Info palette out of the corner of your eye while mousing around. 6. Speed. PS CS6 is noticeably faster to launch than CS5, and interactive effects are similarly faster. It also saves files in the background, so there's no delay before continuing work (you can switch that off too, if you like - which you might want to if you're saving enormous files regularly, or over the network). It really seems to me that Adobe have (for once!) focused on improving the core features of Photoshop, rather than just adding esoteric things that only a handful of users will ever touch. CS6 is better in almost every way for about 70% of the stuff I do. I can recommend it without hesitation. ## Features - Key Features: - Content-Aware Patch - Patch images with greater control using Content-Aware Patch, the latest addition to the Content-Aware family of technologies, which allows you to choose the sample area it will use to create your patch. - Mercury Graphics Engine and 64-bit support - Count on the new Adobe Mercury Graphics Engine for blazingly fast performance when editing with key tools, and take advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support to speed up imaging tasks and process very large images faster*. - New and reengineered design tools - Create superior designs fast.
