So what would you like to see in photoshop CS6
Before you know it CS6 will get a release date and you’ve only just got Photoshop CS5. We’ve all been there and know what it’s like. Going by Adobe’s usual 12-18 month upgrade cycle, I would not expect to see CS6 until at least October 2011, so you have a good year or more to enjoy CS5.
So what would you like to see in photoshop CS6? If you use Photoshop on a daily basis there will be issues that you’ll like to see resolved and functionality that you’ve expected to get intergrated and never has.
This is what some are currently waiting for in Photoshop CS6
Greater efficiency
Photoshop eats your memory and runs a little slow, in fact each new version runs slower than the last. It’s true the programme has a lot to reside in memory, but it could defnitely benefit from a more efficint way of working, rather than expect the processord ot increase in speed and the memory to increase in size.
Clarity adjustment
Clarity adjustment has not yet made the grade – it’s available in Camera Raw but not in Photoshop itself. In Lightroom and ACR the Clarity slider lets you adjust the midtone contrast and it gives a much needed boost to the midtones in an image with quite spectacular results. At the top of my list for the next version of Photoshop would be the inclusion of a Clarity adjustment.
Pasting into a selection
Beijg able to make a selection on the target image with the marquee tool and have Photoshop paste the clipboard contents into the marquee area at a size that fits it to the selection.
You can make a selection and paste the clipboard contents into it but the pasted image isn’t resized to fit. The ability to paste a copied item from one image in Photoshop into a second image but with the copied selection being pasted in at a specific size.
Trim the photoshop fat
How about an intuitive interface rather than one that’s so complex, disjointed, ugly and dated that people will go elsewhere? Adobe could trim a lot of the useless fat out of photoshop and make the interface more intuitive. Make tools that it already has work even better instead of adding new gimmicks. Things like 3D, video, etc were cool in theory but should they really be part of a program designed to work with photos?

I would like to see support for Linux in Photoshop CS6.
Yes that a good point – it would be great to see CS6 on a Linux platform – not sure if its in the pipeline though
Anti-Glare brush
Anti-Glare brush actually sounds interesting – please expand
That Linux idea sounds great to me!
Paste with auto fit. Perfect for adding textures and sloppy Borders without resizing.
