I Continue To Be Impressed with Photoshop CS6

Just doing some testing today with the released Ps CS6 code, and all I can say is WOW, it doesn't cease to impress...
I just stitched a 25893 x 6119 x 16 bit pano from 11 raw files in under 3 minutes. Then I Content Aware Filled some rough edges and that completed more quickly than I have ever seen such an operation complete, even on a much smaller file. Then I did Shadows/Highlights and that completed interactively, as did Smart Sharpen. A bit of cloning perfectly was interactive as well.
Not only did all these operations finish quickly, making working on a reasonably large document painless, but I got a superb result - not even a hint of a problem anywhere I could find. Great color from Camera Raw, no blotchy skies and no stitching remnants anywhere from Photomerge... Just a natural-looking panorama of a beautiful day outside today.
I put a half-sized copy of this result online if you're curious to see it... It's still pretty big - it's an almost 14 megabyte 12947 x 3060 pixel JPEG:

So far Photoshop 13.0 right out of the chute seems to be more stable than it's predecessor when stressed to do big things.
Adobe has a real winner on their hands here I think.
Have you got success stories with actually using Photoshop CS6? Or even the other kind? Let's hear 'em.

BTW What is your sharpening technique? Those palm fronds are very under control, and just the sort of high frequency area that can go nasty.
Thanks. Generally speaking, I sharpen at upsampled resolutions. In this particular case I used my fractal sharpening actions on the full resolution image, just because running the Perfect Resize plug-in is an activity that normally stresses the system, and it ran flawlessly even on this huge image.
Photoshop CS6 definitely stands up to stress better than its predecessor, so that probably means that in normal operation it's just going to run and run without fault. It will be interesting to see if we have fewer "Photoshop crashed" types of posts here on the forum in the coming months. We already know we're not going to have the "Photoshop crashed and I lost my file" types of posts (because of the new auto-save).

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

Using Mac Mini with Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom

Hi
I use Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 mainly as I am a photographer. It involves both programmes live and some huge PSD files kicking around. I would be interested in hearing from any one who does similar on a high end mac mini. I am thinking of getting the high end new i7 with 16g and an SSD.
Any good ?

While it will not deliver 'blazing fast' performance, it has tested OK with Photoshop CS6 MGE recently and it has faired decently well in some benchmark reports. Since the OP insisted Mac Mini, I think he can go for it. Also, since his work demands more 'Photo-specific' editing, I guess he should be good. Not much 3D I assume!
Here are some references:

And I haven't heard of a 'reported failure' per se yet.

ATI Catalyst 13.1 - Not Good with Photoshop CS6 13.0.1

I installed Catalyst 13.1 last night.
On Windows 7 x64 and Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 I still see the GPU-based color-management issue noted in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1093163?tstart=0
Some workarounds:
Configure Photoshop to Basic GPU mode and wait for a Photoshop update to potentially fix it so Normal or Advanced mode can be used again.
Uninstall Catalyst 13.1 and install 12.8 specifically (which works okay with Photoshop CS6). After testing a bit further this is probably what I'm going to do.
There may be a problem with the reporting of the VRAM size to Photoshop. I'm not sure what's up, but I have 2GB of VRAM on my ATI 7850, and 2GB was the full amount reported to Photoshop by Catalyst 12.8. With Catalyst 13.1 in place, however, I see the following. Worse yet, the number seems to vary.
Also, there seems to be a problem now with the implementation of the Windows power policy - specifically the power-down of the monitors on inactivity. They do power-down when left idle, but then they power back up again in a few moments.
I have not found a workaround for this issue yet, save for punching the actual power buttons on the monitors.
I found no speed increase or other compelling reason to upgrade to 13.1 in any case. I think that release must be all about gaming and nothing more.
My recommendation, at least until Adobe releases an update that works around the color black-out problem, is to avoid updating to Catalyst 13.1.
-Noel

In all seriousness, I do prefer things that work.
For 5 years or so ATI was on top of the quality heap - long enough that I bought a 4670, 5670, and just recently a 7850 card. However, the last 6 to 8 months have been markedly worse, and unless some kind of major turnaround happens, I am starting to think that ATI is moving down the list, making way for nVidia to dominate. I have heard that AMD in general is having financial troubles.
In my long career in software engineering, having many PCs (and having run departments full of engineers with PCs), I have seen a number of different graphics manufacturers dominate the industry at various times... Matrox, nVidia, ATI... Maybe it's just nVidia's time to shine again.
Assuming you are speaking of "jumping ship" at a higher level to Apple, that thought has crossed my mind, but in all seriousness I don't think you lot have much better a time of it overall. Reference recent Mac-only problems with Photoshop licensing/activation for example. At the moment I enjoy the greater control the PC environment gives me over what I choose to integrate together.
Perhaps it sounds as if "things are bad" for me, but they're not really. For one thing, Catalyst 12.8 really does work pretty well. My system goes for weeks between reboots and I rarely get application crashes. Testing these drivers is something I need to do to keep abreast of problems my own software customers, who use my GPU-accelerated plug-ins, may encounter. Fortunately with the newest Catalyst drivers I've found no problems with my own software, which uses the GPU differently than Photoshop (in these modern times, it's a certainty that no two applications use the GPU in quite the same way).
By the way, I am no fanatic - In addition to two desktop Dell workstations and one laptop Dell PC, I have in the family a Macbook, three iPads, and an AppleTV. Like I said, I like things that work.

Trouble with Photoshop Cs6

Having trouble with Photoshop cs6. Brushes that i have downloaded from 3rd party websites were deleted from Photoshop after months of use. We replaced all the brushes 1 by 1 but now there is an extreme lag in almost every function in photoshop that i had never experienced before. Dont know what is going wrong.

Hi,
I can't open D7200 NEF files with Photoshop CS6.I checked the updates and there are no updates available.What do I do?
Nitin

For the time being, shoot JPEG images. At this time there is no support for NEF files from the D7200 in any Adobe product. It was released at such a time that it wasn't included in the last Camera Raw update. And Lightroom hasn't been updated either. Consequently, there is no DNG converter available at this time. We will have to wait and see what programs will be able to accommodate the D7200 when Adobe releases updates or upgrades that support the camera.

Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

I bought a computer with Photoshop CS6 already installed, but I don't have the serial number - can I still transfer this software to a new computer?

I currently have a MackBook with Photoshop CS6 installed. This came with the laptop when I bought it on eBay, therefore, I don't have the serial number for the software. Can I still transfer the Photoshop CS6 from this laptop onto a new one?
Thanks

No.
Whoever sold you the laptop should have removed the software first, or gone through the proper process to transfer the license to you. Chances are that they used it to obtain an upgrade, in which case it would not even to eligible to be transferred.

Need help using color checker passport with photoshop CS6

Hello all,
I'm having an issue using the Color Checker Passport with Photoshop CS6. Here's my configuration:
Mac Mini using OS 10.8, but very recently updated to 10.9 (Mavericks). My problem is the same on either OS version.
Photoshop CS6 ver 13.0.6 64 bit extended
Adobe Camera Raw 8.4
X-Rite Color Checker Passport ver 1.0.2
Canon 70D shooting RAW in sRGB color space
NEC Multi-Sync LCD monitor calibrated with Spyder 3 Pro ver 4.0.5
Now here's the issue. I go through the recommended workflow and generate a profile with no problem. Then in Camera Raw (after restarting all applications) I apply the profile to a photograph and instead of getting a nice color-corrected image my image has a greenish-yellow tint to it. It's very noticeable and I haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong, if anything. I re-calibrated the monitor, re-did the workflow with other pictures, but still get the same result.
I greatly appreciate any help or ideas on how to remedy this. I've sent an inquiry to X-Rite via their Support Web Page, but haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks,
Kevin H.

FAQ: What cameras are supported in ACR 7.0 with Photoshop CS6?

See this link for full details on camera support in Camera Raw versions:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/03/raw-support-in-lightroom-and-camera-raw.ht ml
Snip taken from link above:
You’ll also note that ACR7, available with Photoshop CS6 beta, is lagging the most in updated camera support. This is based on when we lock down or “bake” the code for each release. Even though ACR7 was only released last week it was “baked” before Lightroom 4.0 and Camera Raw 6.7. Similarly, Lightroom 4.0 was finalized before Camera Raw 6.7. We’ll get Lightroom and Camera Raw in sync soon but in the interim, here’s the latest incremental support list for each product, relative to Camera Raw 6.6 and Lightroom 3.6:
Photoshop CS6 beta with ACR7
Canon PowerShot S100V
Fuji FinePix X-S1
NOTE:
ACR7.1 will have the superset of all currently supported cameras in ACR6.7 and LR4.1 plus a few extras.

I was just curious and hunting around ACR 7.1 and Photoshop trying our the features. Also I have found that LR4 RC2 has follows ACR 7.1 as far as lens profiles go working with RAW images, so there is some consistency.
Wonder what the difference is between a RAW rendered image in ACR versus a Photoshop rendered image. Given, I could be wrong here, that Lens Correction is based on the optics of the lens, focal length, and the characteristics of the sensor, so would they not be the same in ACR and Photoshop?
I think I need to go check out a lens profiler
Cheers
Mike
There is one reason that I may go back into the Lens Correction Filter and that might be to fine tune some of the persective tools. With a large panorama much easier to see what needs to be done rather than view seperate images, and i have done that in the past. did not come to me until after I had hit the Send Button

When Place Image in Photoshop, error msg: 'Problem with Photoshop CS6 caused program to stop working

When I 'Place Image' in Photoshop, the following error msg comes up: 'A Problem with Photoshop CS6 has caused the program to stop working, close programme?'
Do I need to adjust my set-up to run this? The PC operates on a 32-bit system/Windows 6.

You need to provide much more info: What files are you trying to place into what document? What are the document sizes, resolution, color mode etc.? Anything else we should know about? This could be a million things from color profile issues to color space mismatches to the files to be placed being damaged or badly structured or a importer module being broken. Also provide exact system info and crash logs:
