    Default Photoshop goes video

    Adobe has the Photoshop CS6 beta up. It does now video too (around 7:35 in the video below):

    Nope, Photoshop. For the 3D stuff you'll need PS Extended (or whatever that is called).

    When I looked a bit closer at the interface, I couldn't any other than find some remarkable parallels to Motion, Aperture, Pixelmator, and FCP X. They even copied the <gasp> magnetic timeline. Seems the magnetic timeline wasn't such a bad idea after all.

    There are some new video features it seems, but video in itself is not new. It's already there in Photoshop CS5 / CS5.5 (i have the extended version, not sure if it's in the regular one).

    The new features shown here aren't that big a deal to me, compared to the biggies that came with CS5, especially content aware fill which is a real time saver... i guess the CS6 change that will affect my workflow most is the new interface.

    To be honest, I haven't used PS since version 6. The combination of Aperture and GIMP has fulfilled my photography needs for years.

    We are in the same club dude! But I have used PS6 for the last 12 years! i must move on as you and i know that PS6 requires mac Classic which runs like a dog so. My PowerbookG4 is about to be promoted to the TEMPEST chamber and I need a new laptop for the latest PS. So adios PS6. See what it managed to do in the last 4 years
    On the subject of video editing in PS... Adobe! Beware! I know what they are doing here, targeting iMovie, which is smart but it could muddy the waters and dilute customer's brand distinctions. Long story. Anyway, I wonder how much space the new PS requires?

    If you want to look at a photo image editor that is FREE (the author does ask for donations and our local photo club had me send him one) then check out www.faststone.org and download the FastStone Image Viewer 4.6

    This revision adds Curves, Lighting, Levels, and Clone & Heal. When the author adds layers, I can dump PhotoShop. I use it for quick review of images, some basic adjustments, and almost anything that doesn't need work in layers. In addition our club uses it for almost all slideshows.

    I need to send him a personal donation.

    Zephyrnoid, I have PS6 on a LINUX box under WINE. Works perfectly.
    You can set up a dual boot, and with smb you can read and write from and to your Windows partition.

    If there was a useable video editor in LINUX, I'd be perfectly happy with Ubuntu. Even though it still doesn't look and handles as nice as OS X.

    Actually, it's been available since CS3. This is just the first substantial update to the feature.

    Speaking of which, I love to edit video in Photoshop, because it gives me more color correction power than the ol' three-wheel system Sony Vegas offers. But one thing I actually want to use it for also, is getting rid of video artifacts. My method has been to denoise, and then add noise back into it, to obscure whatever artifacts the noise removal managed to miss. But I can't figure out how to animate the noise. Does anyone have an idea of how I'd do that? It'd be so greatly appreciated.

    Isn't there something called ADOBE Premiere? Running out of ideas, aren't we?

    I don't like Adobe Premiere. I know it's compatible with Photoshop and all, but I'd much rather stick to Vegas if I can. Not to mention I don't have the cash to buy another NLE right now... :P

    Aren't they in the same price range as Photoshop? And I'm sure there are used package deals going on eBay. I just don't see the point of having Video in Photoshop. It wasn't made for it and it will never be a true editor.

    I'm not using it for editing, I'm using it for what the creators of Photoshop want you to use it for; making visual adjustments to your source video, which you then edit (they would hope) in Premiere. I use it for coloring and de-noising, as I already said. Now if anyone has any suggestions for that little problem, again, it would be greatly appreciated.

    And it doesn't matter if it's in the same price range as Photoshop; I had the money to buy Photoshop when I bought it. I don't have the money right now to buy Premiere, and I'm not exactly interested in looking for some kind of "Package Deal", when it's a program I'm reluctant to use in the first place. Why spend money on something I don't want?
