Adobe has made available a public beta of Photoshop CS6, which can be downloaded from Adobe Labs.
Among the new features are a Content-Aware Patch which allows you to ‘choose the sample area you want to use to create your patch, and then watch Content-Aware Patch magically blend pixels for a stunning result,’ according to Adobe.
The new Mercury Graphics Engine which provides ‘near-instant results when you edit with key tools such as Liquify, Puppet Warp, and Crop’ by using the GPU for hardware acceleration. And the redesigned interface as an Aperture-like dark background.
The beta includes all the features from Photoshop CS6 Extended and needs an Adobe ID. A tour of the new features will appear in MacUser Vol 28 No 7, on sale 30 March.
