Adobe Photoshop CS6

(83 Mb - 705 Mb)

Adobe photoshop is the best software for editing the photos at professional level. It will save a lot of time for professionals on the day-to-day, thanks to new and updated features, a new graphic engine, and a new—beautiful—streamlined interface.
The first thing that will strike your eye is the new interface. It's obviously different, dark grey—which can be taken back to the original grey if you want, or a darker tone too. The new icons are nice as well, but the redesign goes deeper than that.

The past Photoshops have had layer upon layer of interface crap, with different types of buttons and windows arranged in different ways, sometimes clearly misaligned. It was an eye-sore and, much worse, it was inconsistent. Adobe hired an interface expert and told him to "clean it all, do as you wish, make it better." And he did. His team adjusted thousands of graphic elements and cleaned up workflows. Now, it feels much more coherent and solid than ever before.

Crop

Crop also incorporates a precision straighten tool that works great: you can draw along a straight line on the photo and it will know how to exactly rotate the final image. It also has a useful feature along the same thoughts: perspective cropping, which allows you to turn an image that is sightly in perspective into a straight-on frontal shot. That will become useful some times, but the whole crop is easier to use, more powerful and smart all the time.

Shadows and highlights

Shadows and Highlights—a favorite feature for many people—has also been revamped. The first thing you will notice is how you can bump up the values to some crazy levels without getting any halos in your image. In previous versions, if you really pushed it, you often ended up with horrible halos around the areas of contrast. It looked like crap. Now, these are done. Black magic again. It even works perfectly with images from the iPhone camera.

New and reengineered design tool

Create superior designs faster. Get consistent formatting with type styles, use vector layers to apply strokes and add gradients to vector objects, easily create custom strokes and dashed lines, quickly search layers, and more.

Bring out the best in your JPEG and raw files with improved processing and an enhanced control set; reveal every detail in the highlights of an image while still retaining rich detail in the shadows; and much more.
