Introduces background image saving and real-time liquification

In the past few days we’ve been fed snippets of what’s to come into Photoshop CS6. It’s been only two videos but I’m already sold for the new version.

The first video shows the progress that has been made in Camera Raw, which is used by Brian O’Neal Hughes, senior product manager, to boost shadows and recover highlight information or paint tones and reduce noise with the adjustment brush.

In the second video, however, things are focused on performance improvements in Photoshop CS6, and Liquify tool in particular, which is backed up by hardware acceleration in order to complete the job. Using the GPU-boosted tool you will be able to edit the image in real time, as the video above shows.

Another feature presented by Zorana Gee, Photoshop product manager, in the second sneak peak is the ability to save images in the background, allowing you to work on other pictures.
