There's also a Front Image option, but I can't figure out what it does.Ī change for the better, you can now save (and load) a set of default text styles so that you no longer need to create or load a PSD file that embeds them. But it's back now, along with more prominent notation of the resolution assumptions of common presets. Unfortunately, the resolution text-entry field became a casualty.
The company had also overhauled the crop tool between CS5.x and CS6, though it preserved the option to revert to "classic" operation, something Adobe does tend to be good about. Landscape and square orientations but not portrait? sRGB color profile but not Adobe RGB? No text layer? Am I the only who thinks Adobe is using its subscribers to beta test the feature? The crop options return to better days. And while I welcome conditionals, there are some bizarre omissions. Otherwise, that drop-down list is going to get mighty long and unwieldy. It looks like the initial implementation goes after the most easily coded stuff, with watermarking the big use - basically, activities based on document or layer properties - but I suspect this presentation will have to change radically over time. So Adobe has finally granted us the ability to add conditionals to Actions. But Photoshop users are nothing if not entrenched in their workflows (myself included), and that anticipated move never happened. It's been years since the company has substantively updated the Actions architecture when the company first incorporated scripting into Photoshop, the goal was for users to gradually move from Actions to scripts.
Conditional actions are a welcome, overdue capability, but I wish they were a little more sophisticated. Along with HiDPI - i.e., Retina Display - support for Photoshop and Illustrator, which rolled out to Creative Cloud subscribers all users last night (and which should be available to the rest of the nonsubscription folks by the end of the year), Photoshop actually reverts some changes to the crop tool, modestly fixes the text styles implementation, updates 3D text handling, finally admits that Actions aren't going away, and beefs up its CSS integration. Adobe's first major Creative Cloud-driven update to Photoshop CS6, as well as an important update the to the lesser-known CC-only Muse Web design tool, tosses out just enough capabilities to keep things interesting.
