Photoshop CS6 content-aware move tool

In the run up to the release of Photoshop CS6, Adobe has been showing off some of the new features we should be expecting in the latest version of the popular photo editing application. Previous videos from Adobe showed off the updated user interface, which has borrowed some of its dark looks from Lightroom, and the new content-aware fill tool that was first introduced in CS5 but now updated to allow you to select the source for the fill.

Well the latest feature, called content-aware move, in Adobe’s tool belt looks even more amazing. The new feature allows you to select objects in your photographs and move them around; i.e. you can make a rough selection of an object or person in your photo then select where you want to move it, Photoshop will cut it from the frame, try to fill in the empty space and then move it to the new location. The new content-aware move feature looks scarily simple but you can have a look for yourself in the video below.

Adobe Touch Apps

Adobe has just released its Touch Apps suite for Android tablets, made of five creative apps each priced at $9.99 and available on the Android Market. There is an Android 3.1 Honeycomb or higher requirement, while Adobe points out that you’ll need at least a 8.9-inch 1280×800 tablet to get the most out the applications. As the name implies, they are all touch optimized applications, but also integrate with Adobe Creative Cloud. You can open Photoshop or other Adobe desktop application files saved in the cloud, work with them on your tablet and then save them back to the cloud to continue working on a desktop or other device.

King of the pack is of course Adobe Photoshop Touch. You can get your images from social networking sites such as Facebook, use locally saved images or snap live from your tablet’s camera. The app includes layer support, various adjustments and filters, and of course you can share your results back to Facebook.

Google built-in photo editor for Android 4.0

So we’ve just got over a day to go until the wonders of Android 4.0 ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’ are revealed to us. Knowing that something this big is coming, builds anticipation, which we need to satisfy, somehow. Well the guys over at Android Police have unearthed a number of icons showing off various image editing tools and photo effects.

It has been rumored in the past that Google is working on a photo editor for the Android Gallery and the assumption here is that the editor might be launched as part of Android 4.0. The icons, which you can see above, include tools like crop, rotate, straighten and sharpen, exposure adjustment and even artistic effects. From the leaked icons, there seem to be 19 different image effects, like fisheye, sepia etc.

We’ve been clamoring for an easy way to fix and adjust images within the gallery, so this would be great news. Hopefully, Android 4.0 will bring a lot more exciting new features. Now see, by the time you’ve come to the end of the article, you are so much nearer to the actual launch!
