Great upgrade.<\/p>\n
Content-aware fill doesn’t always perform as well as it does in the Adobe demos, but it can save a heap of time. If it’s not perfect straight away, try again and you’ll probably get closer. Good enough for the Spot Healing tool to get its shortcut back.<\/p>\n
Deleting on the Background layer invokes the content-aware fill, but deleting on any other layer does not. You’ll need shift-delete for that.<\/p>\n
The new zooming behaviour is straight out of Apple’s Motion, and a vast improvement. Command-space-click and drag to immediately, interactively resize the image. Fast, responsive, awesome.<\/p>\n
The revised brush resizing tool is faster, if a little less precise. Control-option-drag vertically to change sharpness and horizontally to change size. Was a little different before, but this is fine.<\/p>\n
It’s fast. 64-bit uses more RAM on my system though apparently it will make a difference only with large images, and only works on Snow Leopard.<\/p>\n
Other Dynamics in the Brush settings is now called Transfer.<\/p>\n
Brush Presets is now a separate panel to Brush, which removes a point of confusion.<\/p>\n
The new colour sampling tool is nice and the new natural-media style brushes are good too. Command-option-control-click for a superb new colour picker and never use the Color panel again.<\/p>\n
I’ll be running some new Photoshop classes soon, so let me know (email iain@THISWEBSITE.COM) if you’re interested and I’ll let you know where they’ll be running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
