Adobe Photoshop CS6 Beta Released as Free Download
A free public beta of Photoshop CS6 has been released by Adobe. The beta features some pretty major changes to Photoshop, including a new graphics engine that dramatically speeds up performance of some tools and an all new darkened user interface.
In terms of features, Photoshop CS6 includes a new content-aware patch, blur gallery, type styles, custom strokes to shapes, layer searching, video editing tools, a new crop tool, auto-select interpolation, and improved camera RAW support.
Anyone is free to download and install Adobe Photoshop CS6 Beta and no serial number is needed, although you will be required to enter an Adobe ID and activate online within seven days of first launching the application. From then on, the software is free to use until the final release of Photoshop CS6, which is due out sometime later this year.
If you’re at all interested in Photoshop or image editing, it’s worth a look. Free downloads are available for Mac OS X and Windows, with the Mac version requiring at least 2.5GB of available disk space to install.
- Download for Mac (direct link, 984MB)
- Download for Windows (direct link, 1.7GB)
Watch the video below for a demonstration, or check out Adobe Labs for more info.
Pricing hasn’t been announced, but typically Photoshop is the same price as a new iPad or more. For that reason, many alternatives like Pixelmator or even iPhoto can be good enough for many users photo editing needs.

It is the a Macbook pro with the anti-glare screen.
Downloading it now! I’m not a big Photoshop user so it will be interesting to see if its easy to use for new comers.

[…] necessary. PSD’s are best opened with Photoshop, but if you don’t have it go ahead and download CS6 beta for free and use it until the final version comes out, the template works […]
Looks good and great explenation, is the image deblur feature going to be in CS6 as well? I know they showed it in a presentation once.
Oh please, “evangelist”? Give me a break. This type of over exaggerated hype will never get people to buy this, all these “new” features, that let me do my work “faster” and ” more creatively” and ” easier” represent re inventing the wheel. Please don’t take us for morons, give your potential customer a bit more intelligence.
I am agree, the pricing is massive compared to other software products.
But CS5 & 6 have some features we could´t live without ;)
CS6 is fast, I am impressed! If only Adobe would make the price more reasonable, $699 for software is on the verge of insanity in this day and age.
Yes, I agree. The pricing is just too high. I’ll hunt in our local markets and see if here it is cheap or not. Because the earlier versions of photoshop that I bought were hardly for two or 3 dollars. one of the reasons i love my homeland.
