Adobe has done a great job streamlining PhotoShop! All in all PhotoShop 6 is a winner since the best gets even better and PhotoShop also manages to embrace the web in a very nice manner. Adobe PhotoShop 6 definitely remains the essential, state of the art, Holy Grail of photo editing software, offering customers an unrivalled level of control over their bitmaps pictures so they can express their creativity, freely. However the major drawback of PhotoShop 6 is surely its price - positioning the software as professional only. In terms of functions there’s nothing to reproach except the fact you can’t move with your mouse geometrical vector shapes and the interface isn’t easily customizable. PhotoShop 6 is definitely a major upgrade with top notch new features serious users will really need.
