What's new in Photoshop CS6 for an enthusiastic amateur?

Is there anything in CS6 to interest an enthusiastic amateur or should I stay with my CS5.1?

Camera Raw's PV2012 process does some great things, such as managing the transitions into overexposure much more adeptly than its predecessors. The new image analysis-based CA correction feature is great as well, though I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that was also available with PV2010 in the Camera Raw 6.7 release candidate for Photoshop CS5. But the Camera Raw 7 control layout seems more intuitive and is a bit easier to use as a result.
In Photoshop proper, there appear to have been lots of JDIs ('just do its'), which are little improvements to existing functionality.
I've been experimenting with reprocessing photos I've processed before with Photoshop CS5, and so far I'm finding it incrementally easier to achieve better results, so the whole CS6 package does seem to come together rather nicely. Though the look has changed some, it's NOT a matter of "OMG, I have to learn to do everything over again!"
Discovery of all the new little things is a lot of fun.

Noel, I think the comment referred to my criticism of Chris ‘YE HAH! Orwig’, but surely the presentation is a highly important element of video tutorials, just as it is with Photoshop books — that’s why Scott Kelby is so successful. His books make you smile or laugh out loud on every page, which means you keep on reading and learning. Scott is also a master of bringing together tips and ideas from his ‘Team’ and making them into a highly polished presentation. Chris Orwig, on the other hand, is the presentation equivalent of fingernails scraped on a blackboard.
I’ve written to Lynda.com with my concerns regarding the extreme overuse of phrases like “I’m gonna go right ahead” in general, and Chris Orwig specifically. I have also emailed people like Nigel French (Design and Type titles using Photoshop) and Chad Perkins (Premiere Pro) thanking them for their obvious enthusiasm and the quality of their Lynda.com titles. I got nice replies from both of them, but nothing from Lynda.com.
You might argue that CO is also enthusiastic about Photoshop, but while his mouth speaks the words, his eyes don’t back them up. Compare Chris Orwig to Deke McCelland, and the wonderful Russell Brown. The latter two are so genuine, and Russell delightfully eccentric. And both DM and RB are light years ahead of CO regards their knowledge of Photoshop.
Of course it is far from easy to present video tutorials, as Doug says above. I can still remember being forced in front of the camera while doing media studies (almost 40 years ago) and how dry my mouth became while I tripped over my every word while speaking gibberish. I am currently filming for a promo for an April 2014 event, that has to be shown this time next year, and I absolutely know I shall be bring in talent for the VO.

Was Photoshop CS6 for Mac matchd for a new product apple 5k display ?

Apple issued a new product iMac with Retina 5k display on 18 Oct, 2014 on market . This display has a high resolution of 5120*2880. I want to know:
Photoshop CS6 for Mac was designed for this display ?
Can Canon full size photo that is 5760*3840 show at this 5120*2880 screen ? If yes, That means more detail can be seen than any monitors used before.

From here you should be able to buy photoshop cs6:

I Want to Buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac - NOT Creative Cloud

I just bought a new iMac and I would like to buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. I am NOT interested in the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud, so please don't even try and sell that to me. I was told by the place I bought my new iMac that Adobe would still sell me Photoshop CS6 if I contacted them. Since I was unable to find a phone number to call, I thought I would try my luck on this forum. Again, I was told that Adobe would send me a link or something like that where I can buy and download Photoshop CS6. Since my new iMac does NOT have a CD/DVD-ROM drive, I would only be able to download the software. I understand that the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud is the newest way of using Photoshop, but I am not interested in that at all. I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance with this matter. Thank you for your time and I anxiously await a response.
Respectfully,
Chris

Photoshop CS6 for both windows and mac?

I have Photoshop CS6 for windows on an upgrade disk. Now considering a mac air notebook to replace my old pc laptop as second machine. Could I use the program on this on my existing licence? Would I be able to download the program? Also, what's the minimum system spec advisable for smooth running on a mac? Hoping a helpful Adobe person can answer these questions easily. Thanks

Could I use the program on this on my existing licence?
No. And that takes care of your otehr questions - it's a moot point. Standalone permanent licenses are platform specific and there's no way around that. Only Creative Cloud allows cross-platform usage as do certain types of volume licenses, none of which is relevant to your situation.

Tools Panel missing in Photoshop CS6 for Mac

I have been using Photoshop CS6 for Mac for about 6 mths. now. When I opened it yesterday to work on some photos, I noticed that my tools panel that is always located on the left side of my screen had disappeared. I have been unable to locate it anywhere. Also, the top of my photoshop page looks different. Any assistance that I could get would be greatly appreciated.
