What features in Photoshop CS6 matter most to web designers? We downloaded the CS6 beta to find out. In addition to improved performance and a sleek new UI, we found some other gems in the CS6's list of 65 new features.
The new eyedropper shows a sample size popup. We've been using a 3rd party eyedropper in CS5 for this.
Delete a layer effect instead of just disabling it, no more messy layer styles from experimenting.
New document presets for common devices such as iPhone and iPad.
Automatic saving for crash recovery. This alone may be worth the upgrade in potentially saved time.
Insert "lorem ipsum" filler text in type.
CS6 feels like a huge leap forward. It's a far larger improvement than any previous iteration of Photoshop. If you can afford its unchanged price of $699, we strongly recommend it.
