New Photoshop CS6 Beta
Photoshop CS6 Today let’s have a look at Photoshop CS6 Beta which is available for free download from Adobe. The version is called ‘Superstition’ and it is the first significant update to Photoshop since CS5 ( in the Suite CS5.5 Adobe delivered the same Photoshop as in CS5). Who is Photoshop CS6 for? Having thoroughly tested the new Photoshop CS6 Beta, it seems to me that this version is addressing namely people who are working with digital photos and videos; also the 3D features have been significantly improved. In other words, if you are not using Photoshop to edit your images, needing content aware patching and selective blurring, there is no real need to upgrade your CS5. If however you are a photo freak and if you are shooting short videos, then Photoshop CS6 is a smashing program, allowing you to go beyond what photography can do (such as multiple shallow depth of field areas on a single image). What is new on Photoshop CS6? This is what’s new on Photoshop CS6: UI redesign (all new icons and optional dark UI) OK, they copied (sorry, got inspired by (big companies don’t copy, huh)) Apple’s Aperture; you can switch back [...]

The Ycademy October Seminar will highlight these differences and help participants to structure their content flow in function of the requirements of both models. We will elaborate with each Participant a strategy to build a profitable profile. SEM and The new world order Search Engine Marketing is about the convergence of information and connectivity, it’s about “findability”. Successful SEM takes into account the Information Literacy, Information Architecture and Usability. These are critical components of the new world order.
