Photoshop CS6:New Features

Darker user interface

And the option to choose from four different grays by going to Preferences -> Interface


Updated Crop ToolIf you want to move your crop around the image, you click and drag, as in previous versions, but now your image moves and the crop lines stay centered on the screen.


Updated Crop ToolStraighten feature helps with straightening horizons or other lines.

Click Straighten and draw the line you want to be straight.


Updated Crop ToolLots of people hate it, but you can always switch to Classic Mode to get the old tool back.Just click on the Settings Icon and check Use Classic Mode.


As you can see from these screenshots of the Lynda.com class Photoshop CS6 New Features, there’s a lot to learn.

The overall response is positive and most reviews agree that it is worth the upgrade.
