Adobe Creative Suite 6
gives you even more performance
and stability across all of the apps--
in particular, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver.
So if you do have a new system
or really just want to leverage all the power of your current system,
I encourage you to check it out.
I'm going to go ahead and start off in Photoshop here.
And Photoshop has what is called
the Mercury Graphics Engine.
And what that means is you really have
optimal performance in Photoshop,
especially if you're dealing with larger images.
But this goes, across the board, for many of the tools.
So whether you're going to do a Crop
or if you're going to do something like the Puppet Warp--
things where you're really manipulating the image--
you'll really notice this performance.
I, personally, notice it a lot
if I jump in here to Liquefy, for instance.
Now keep in mind, this is a 60 meg file.
And I have a very large brush--
and I wouldn't normally do this to an image like this,
but just to show you the performance,
I can go ahead and move
and manipulate all those pixels around,
just like that.
So if you're familiar with the Liquefy capabilities,
you know this would normally take awhile.
But there's absolutely no lag
when you're doing this sort of manipulation.
So now I'm going to go ahead and jump over into Illustrator.
Now, Illustrator CS6 has what is called
the Mercury Performance System.
Now what's going on here is this is
actually a pretty complex illustration.
As I roll over, you can see all of those Vector lines.
In fact, if I change the view to Outline mode,
you can see how complex this is--
and there's quite a few layers in here as well.
So manipulating this image gets to be pretty difficult.
In fact, what you'd have to do in the past
is work mostly in Outline mode.
Well, you don't need to worry about that anymore.
You can jump in to the specific spot
where you want to do the manipulation
and you'll notice the performance pretty much right away.
Again, this is a very complex drawing.
I can select--say, for instance,
this circle happens to have this Radial--
that Radial Burst on it--
and I can change the Gaussian Blur of it as well.
So I'll just preview this really fast, and we'll notice
this just changes it ever so subtly--
from being more blurry and more washed out,
to being a little more intense, with that gold color.
But you notice how responsive it is,
as I'm able to change that.
Click OK, and call it a day.
But again, you can pan around this and you can see it Refresh
pretty quick, compared to previous versions of Illustrator.
So it's very powerful--the Mercury Performance System,
enabling you to take advantage of your hardware
on your system, as well.
Now I'm going to go ahead and jump over to Dreamweaver.
Now Dreamweaver has actually been decarbonized.
It means all of the Carbon APIs,
which are being depreciated or actually removed from the Mac version.
So you'll notice quite a performance,
when it comes to Dreamweaver being rewritten.
This is great; you'll actually notice it in the interface.
It's actually a lot more slimmed down
and again, performs really well.
One specific area that we've really made some big improvements
is we've rewritten how Uploading works.
So basically, the FTP transfer functionality
actually works a lot faster.
So, again, I don't have anything on my remote server,
but I can click over and, just going from my local view,
I can select all of these files
and put them all out there.
And this transfer actually works pretty darned fast--
of course, depending on your Internet connection.
It is very efficient because it's been rebuilt, as well.
And some of these little things
that you may not think are a big deal--
they really start to add up over the course of a day
if you're working in these programs a lot.
But again, those are just a a few of the
performance increases that you'll see
in Dreamweaver, in Photoshop,
in Illustrator, and
little things you'll notice just along the way.
But I encourage you to check out
all these programs and Creative Suite 6, in general--
especially if you plan on upgrading your system
or if you just want to take advantage
of the hardware of your current system.
