Photoshop CS6 Beta--anyone done it yet???

[bob williams]

Sorry, I just had continue the theme "Anyone done it yet"--Anyway I rec'd an email today saying that CS6 beta is available for download. Now, I am a photoshop idiot and have yet to master anything in this program; But.......I just can't help but be curious and I even have some voice in my head that is saying "download now, download now". I am resisting. Though many of the new features look extremely useful to one who is willing to use it, I dread trying anything new in Photoshop. But there is one feature that may make it worth all of the frustration. Focus correction. Based on a marketing video i saw, it appears that Adobe has developed an algorithm that can actually take an out of focus image and turn it in to an in-focus image. I was just curious what others thought of this or if anyone has actually tried this?

I am tempted to try it but have some reservations as far as putting it on my MacBook Pro and possibly having other issues so I think I will wait just a little while.

I think the new content aware features will be very handy as well. Based on my experience with the Topaz In Focus plugin I suspect the out of focus correction will be very limited but we'll see.

Do you know how long the Beta version will be available?

Wow, you must be sitting in the kitchen at the computer.....you know I use photoshop exclusively so I would agree...I might download it tomy wife's PC

It seems every time Adobe releases a beta, or you download a trial version, if you do not keep it once it is live it messes up the old version.

I think I will wait.

Downloading, 1.7 gig. Since I rarely use photoshop, I'm going to risk the damage to my cs5--I just can't resist the VOICES.

I hope you can process some images and post them before the Louisville game starts!
