Photoshop CS6, a.k.a. version 13
Photoshop, the industry-standard proprietary image editing application, is to be upgraded later this year (Adobe's only saying 'first half of 2012') to the CS6 version, taking its place in due course with the rest of the upcoming Creative Suite 6 (CS6) applications.

We've been examining some of the new features in Photoshop CS6, also known as version 13, which is available as a public beta from today (22 March). 

Adobe claims that the new version contains a 62 percent feature boost — quite an achievement in a product with a 20-year-plus pedigree. Among these are 65 user-requested JDI ('Just Do It') features that are not necessarily headline-grabbers, but directly reflect customer feedback.
