A new Properties panel now houses both adjustment layer (shown below)
and mask properties. This new panel can be resized by dragging its
bottom right edge.

Clicking on a New Adjustment Layer icon in the
Adjustments panel (left) automatically populates the Properties panel
(right) with the relevant adjustment layer. |
Video support
|
In CS6, the image adjustment tools used for still images are all available for use with video files. |
With CS6, Photoshop's support for video files has been considerably
expanded. You can add and mute audio tracks, create transitions and
fades, use the Text tool and perform all of the standard Photoshop edits
on a video file. File format support for both importing and exporting
video is handled by Adobe Media Encoder, the same engine behind Adobe
Premiere, the company's flagship video editing program. And unlike in
CS5, where video support is limited to Photoshop Extended, all of this
capability will be available in both versions of Photoshop CS6.
Oil Paint filter
A new Oil Paint filter allows you to quickly apply a painterly effect
to a photographic image. The filter opens in a separate full size
window. Brush and Lighting parameters can be adjusted with a real-time
preview of their effects. You can access the tool by going to
Filter>Oil Paint filter.
