Adobe Launches Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud Subscription Service

Adobe has just started taking pre-orders for the final non-beta version of CS6 along with its new Creative Cloud subscription service. Many users have been playing with the beta version of CS6 for a while now, but if you’ve been waiting for the official release it’s now your turn. Well almost, Adobe promised the suite would be available within 30 days.

The complete CS6 Master Collection will retail for $2,599, though Adobe is pushing its new Creative Cloud subscription model, which gives you access to all the apps for $49.99 per month.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Beta Available Now

Adobe has made the beta version of Photoshop CS6 available now for a free download. This new beta version of the latest Photoshop release is currently available to install and test for free, but users will need to pay for the upgrade when the final version is released (at which time the beta version will stop working).

New features in Photoshop CS6 include a redesigned cleaner interface, faster performance thanks to taking advantage of Adobe’s Mercury Graphics Engine for image processing, an improved Camera Raw workflow, content-aware patching, and re-engineered design tools that support type styles, creating and applying custom strokes and dashed lines to shapes, quickly searching layers. The Adobe Photoshop CS6 beta also includes advanced features that will only be available in the “extended” version of Photoshop CS6, like 3D image editing and quantitative image analysis.

According to Adobe’s John Nack the new beta version of Photoshop CS6 has already been downloaded over a half million times in the first week of its release, and is getting lots of rave reviews. Whether you’re new to Photoshop or an old hand, Creative Edge has you covered with an extensive list of Adobe Photoshop books and videos.
