In a window with on-image controls, you can control the amount of blur, set areas that do not get blurred, the amount of feather, and the angle of blur. The tool can straighten the image and subtly enlarge portions of your image that are down-perspective (farther away) to make the entire image look straight.Ī new GPU-accelerated blur tool adds many features, too.
The brand-new Perspective Crop is an excellent tool–with it, you draw a cropping box over an image that has been taken at an angle that skews or distorts the image, then adjust where one or more of the corners of your image should be. Photoshop’s new Perspective Crop tool notice how the wood piece’s top edge is straightened. New overlay grids help you to crop with precision. You can also save cropping presets–your website’s standard size for thumbnail images, say. It encourages a new way of cropping, which is nondestructive–meaning, when you crop an image, you can choose to retain (but hide) the cropped pixels, so that if you need them back later, you can get to them without starting over. The updated cropping tool has many new features. You aren’t limited to choosing from only a small number of graphics cards, too see Adobe’s list of cards that it has tested and confirmed to work. With acceleration enabled, those features flew–no matter what setting I tried, no matter how big the brush–and I never had to wait for a progress bar to complete. But with GPU acceleration turned on, the image continued to glide a bit after I’d let go of my mouse.įurthermore, some features, such as the new Oil Paint filter, refused to work with GPU acceleration turned off, and the Liquify tool strongly suggested that I please turn it back on.
In either mode, the image opened in the same amount of time, and I had no trouble flicking the image around my screen. To test the engine, I opened a 600MB image with 20 layers using a four-year-old dual-Xeon workstation, with graphics acceleration turned on and then turned off. It lets you open and work with larger files and larger brushes, and, according to Adobe, it “helps you navigate documents and your workspace more fluidly.” In Photoshop CS6, several tools are GPU-accelerated, including some filters, the substantially updated cropping tool, and 3D functions in Photoshop CS6 Extended. Photoshop has had some sort of GPU acceleration for at least a few versions, but Photoshop CS6 improves on that with a new Mercury Graphics Engine, in similar fashion to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6’s Mercury Playback Engine, which is responsible for that video editing application’s astounding performance. Of course, Photoshop CS6 ($699 as of ) adds a little magic of its own in this significant upgrade. Adobe Photoshop CS6, the latest version of the cornerstone of the company’s Creative Suite of applications, borrows a little magic from its suitemate Premiere Pro.
