The popular version of Adobe Photoshop is Adobe Photoshop CS5, but there are new features in newer versions, including Adobe Photoshop CS6. Adobe Photoshop CS5 is an older version and this is something that may not be compatible with the new features in Adobe Photoshop CS6. If this is the case, you will need to update the program. This process is simple but you will need to know which operating system you are using. For Windows, you will need to download the update from the Adobe website. Once the download is complete, run the installer file and follow the instructions on the screen. If you are using a Mac, you can do the same thing by going to the Adobe website and downloading the update. Once you have the update, run it and it will make the change automatically. To check if your update was successful, you can go to the Help menu and select About Photoshop CS6.

I lament my decision NOT to upgrade at this point. Just getting CS4 was a lot of work. I’m really struggling, but it seems quite a few other ppl are upgrading, because the RC has been out for a month or so. Every tiny improvement (legibility, stability, performance) is impressive, and I’m probably going to have a lot of new reasons to put off upgrading as the bugs pile up. Don’t freak out if things go bad or you encounter bizarre behavior. The tradeoffs are so good I’m willing to lose the “perfect shot” (that’s the whole point of all the AI things) 10% of the time to get the rest of the things, like being able to easily share beautiful pictures of your kid, or resizing pictures in ways that make them really easy to upload to blogs, or being able to scan and crop stuff in an hour.

The Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC) team has long maintained its monopoly over image editing, at least in the digital realm. While most other programs have been headed in the right direction, working with one of the better products, in my opinion, Adobe continues to lead the way. This summer, Adobe freshened up its flagship photo editing software, with Adobe’s Photoshop CC2020 trying to improve and simplify the experience even more. Let’s look at the good and bad new features of this program.

I found the whole Luminosity thing (cloning) to be a frustrating way to change things in images. I need to use Photoshop regularly, though, so I kept using it. This newest version makes the process much simpler to me.

The idea of operating software as complex as Photoshop directly in the browser would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago. However, by using various new web technologies, Adobe has now brought a public beta of Photoshop to the web.
