Is “only” $150 for the full version and $80 for the upgrade.So quite honestly, my initial recommendationis going to be the same as always-If you already have CS4 or CS5, and if you don’t use Bridge very much, then you can skip this version.Īnd you know what?Often times, even official Adobe spokespeople acknowledge that most buyers will “skip a version” and only buy every-other upgrade.Well, this sounds like it’s leaning in that direction.īridge CS6 doesn’t seem to have a full-screen version like Lightroom and Photoshop have, at least not until you enter the ACR window.Also, Bridge CS6 still seems to freeze from time to time, just like Bridge CS5 does, and seems slightly less responsive than Lightroom 3 or 4. , which is still quite a lot especially considering that The question is, …is it going to be worth it, when the final version is released for sale?UsuallyĬan cost $600 for a full version, without any student discount etc. Is able to open / save images faster.Often I’m going from Lightroom to Photoshop just so that I can play a single action, and then quickly back into Lightroom.So now withĪnd button mode enabled for actions, sometimes I don’t leave Lightroom for more than NINE seconds! (For you nerds out there, that would be CTRL-E, Enter, Click action, CTRL-S, CTRL-W, Alt-Tab.Done.) Last but not least, a couple benchmark tests and notes on general speed:Ĭonsumes 99 MB of RAM (less than the average Google Chrome window) and ~200 MB with a 12-megapixel RAW NEF image open.īeta consumes 101 MB of RAM at idle, and ~290 MB with a 12-megapixel RAW NEF image open.(So both consume almost nothing compared to the 1-3 GB of RAM that Lightroom 3-4 gobbles up!)I can’t quantify it because it’s already so quick, but it seems as if €¢Â AUTO-SAVE Functionality.Um, hello Adobe.Party like it’s 2003?What a LONG-OVERDUE feature!!!!This feature has been available in other programs since before digital cameras had surpassed even ~3 megapixels, and now we’re up to 20-30 megapixels.Thank you for this much-needed feature, Adobe. Yeah, yea h, …okay, none of these features are probably worth the $600 that Adobe will likely charge.are you ready for something AWESOME?Here it comes: (Available by opening RAW / JPG files in Bridge CS6 Beta, or by opening a RAW file inīeta) This is certainly a whole different subject for discussion another time, but basically I am a huge fan of Adobe Bridge as an alternative to Lightroom.For any photographer who shoots a low volume of images, and simply is not ready or interested in undertaking the huge learning curve of a catalog system such as Lightroom, Bridge gives you all the same editing power but without requiring any importing / cataloging.Just browse your folders the same as you would in Explorer / Finder, and edit. €¢Â ACR 7 – essentially the same RAW processing tools as When I can clone things just by looking at them, THEN I’ll get excited… -)

€¢Â Content-Aware Patch.…Basically, just the next generation of cloning.Cloning is already pretty easy in CS5, but now instead of “erasing” a single object, …now you can just move it around?This is hard to explain, but I don’t think it is going to be useful very often.Cloning is already quite easy in €¢Â New graphics enhancements for increased performance.…Basically, certain tools go faster.All I care about personally are the few actions I use.Everything else already seems to be pretty darn instantaneous in €¢Â New interface, very Lightroom/Bridge-esque and sleek looking.…Yay?
