Adobe CS6 Beta available for free (until the RTM)

from JoeUser Forums

 

It’s amazing. Simply and totally amazing. It supposedly makes CS5 look primitive, and that takes some doing.

You can watch Russell Brown’s video on his six favorite new features:

Adobe’s Mercury Graphics Engine has also speeded up the “Liquify”, “Puppet Warp” and “Crop” tools.

Some stuff Russell Brown didn’t mention:

“Shadows and Highlights” – No more halos (unless you go to truly insane values). Even works with iPhone images.

“Typography” – Paragraph and character styles. Now supports OpenType ligatures, fractions and lots more. Even a “Lorem Ipsum” generator for mock layouts.

Special for Xiandi: “Layer selection”:

“If you use a gazillion layers and share your images with others, you are going to love the new way that CS6 has to manage layers. You can automatically filter out different layers in the layers palette by kind. This was a lifesaver when I tried to hunt down a layer among two hundred different ones. You can filter them by type, to see only text layers, for example. Or adjustment layers. Or shapes. It's extremely convenient.” – Jesus Diaz, http://gizmodo.com/5895424/photoshop-cs6-is-the-best-photoshop-release-in-recent-memory

Don’t expect it to be cheap. It won’t be.

At least play with it… if you dare. I’m downloading it now. I’m gonna hate going back, but I have to play with the lens stuff. And the rest.

Remember:  1-800-BUX-4DOC.

Is anyone else having an issue downloading this? I have tried with Firefox and IE9 with no joy. The last attempt with FF got to 430 MB and quit. With IE9, the download never starts. What am I missing or is it my ISP?

Open PScs6 Beta then Click on Mini BR (Mb) If not on the right aka by the layers (Window tab - Extensions - Mini Bridge)

then click on the Icon Mb it will open a small window then click on the Icon Mb at the top Left it will open Bridge

find the Drive/folder/Image you want  Click on the image then CTRL+R it will open CR 7.0 or the Icon at the top for CR

 

YOU CAN"T get to CR 7.0 by opening Bridge it's self you have to go through PScs6 Beta

 

Hope this helps

I had trouble the first time, just like you did, but it seemed like it crapped out as soon as I tried to do anything else on the PC. The second try, I started the download ans walked away until it was done. Didn't touch anything, not even the mouse. It took forever, but I finally got it. (using FF)

I'll play with it tomorrow, see what it can do. :grin:

I was attempting to download with my wireless modem as my usage on the satellite was up due to downloading Windows 8 but I just could not get it to download. I think "Cricket" was resetting the server because of the size of the download. I finally bit the bullet and plugged in the satellite modem and turned on my download manager and after three hours, it finally was downloaded. You have not lived until you get in the boonies and have a super slow connection that is the only thing available! <X3 :&#39;)

Mine took less than an hour to download and that was a surprise. Usually any app of size, like Win 8, takes several hours. Like almost nine over three days for Win 8 and that was a waste.

Okay...its a beta. I should be able to access it but....nope. When I activate it a sign in window appears so I enter my email and password. Okay fine...password doesn't match so I do it again and again and again and...finally I reset it and signed in again and again and again. Even though I reset my password it refuses to accept it.

Uvah, have you registered on Adobe.com? That would be the password they are prompting for.

Yes I'm registered. I have an Adobe ID. I'm going to try DaveBax's link to support.

Do you guys not have the available icon in Bridge? I have a screen shot if it helps. I have access directly from Bridge without having PS6 open.
