  4. As a photographer I always avoided wide angle shots because of the warped perspective. I preferred taking individual shots and stitching them together like cell phone panoramas. But then I hear about this new feature - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/photoshop-cs6-featuretour/russell-brown-look-at-the-big-picture-with-adaptive-wide-angle-in-photoshop-cs6/?sdid=JYNWT in the new photoshop. I was more than happy to shell out the cost and bought it from - http://shop.adobe.com/in?sdid=JUMTL just so that I could turn all my wide angles into perfectly framed photos!

  5. You wouldn’t think that a tool as basic as the crop tool can be improved or modified but as someone who works heavily with resizing and scaling images for mailers, invites, postcards and visiting cards,I find this new feature in Photoshop CS6 to be a life saver! http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/the-newly-redesigned-crop-tool-in-photoshop-cs6/?sdid=JYNWU It’s amazing how easy it makes your life with simple tweaks to the crop size, shape and centralization of content
