In the run-up to an expected spring launch of Photoshop CS6, Adobe has started posting teaser videos on YouTube that demonstrate some seriously awesome functionality. Today, following up from the critically acclaimed introduction of Content Aware Fill and Heal in CS5, Adobe demonstrated Content Aware Move and Extend.

Move allows you to draw a selection around and object and simply drag it to another location; Photoshop fills in the background and ensures that everything lines up. Extend lets you extend an object, by drawing a selection and then dragging it out; Photoshop again fills in the gap. Watch the video below, wipe up that puddle of drool, and then continue reading.

If you’ve never seen or heard of Adobe’s Content Aware functionality, it’s basically a set of algorithms that attempt to accurately fill a space — kind of like an automatic clone brush. Content Aware Fill and Heal are usually very effective, but sometimes the algorithms get it wrong. With Content Aware Move, you are basically telling Photoshop which region of the image should be copied from. I don’t think the algorithm itself has been significantly changed — this is just a different way of using it.

In the previous sneak peeks, Adobe has shown off Camera Raw 7, which has a new processing engine; demonstrated some performance enhancements; and gloated about the (long overdue) addition of a dashed and dotted line tool. Each video was uploaded a week after the next, so stay tuned for February 20 and 27 — we’re sure Adobe has a few more tricks up its sleeve for CS6.

If you watched one of the videos you may have noticed another significant change: Photoshop CS6 will be clad in same dark gray skin that adorns Lightroom, Premiere, and most of its other tools. The idea is that you should focus more on the image than the interface — a no-brainer, and it’s really quite surprising that it took Adobe this long to darken the default skin.
