Noel Carboni May 7, 2012 3:25 PM (in response to gator soup)Did you expect anything different? Anyone remember what the upgrade price for Extended was last time? I was on the standard path, and that's $199 this time, as it was last time.

Trevor.Dennis May 7, 2012 3:28 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)That's a big file Noel. And 16 bit as well.
Thanks for sharing the picture. It is getting decidedly chilly here, and a bit of Florida sunshine at least gave the impression of warmth. It reminds me of a trip to your Everglades with us Brits in shorts and T-shirts, and the locals all wrapped up complete with coats!
BTW What is your sharpening technique? Those palm fronds are very under control, and just the sort of high frequency area that can go nasty.

$399? You were lucky. About US$617 for Australia and New Zealand.

Thanks. Generally speaking, I sharpen at upsampled resolutions. In this particular case I used my fractal sharpening actions on the full resolution image, just because running the Perfect Resize plug-in is an activity that normally stresses the system, and it ran flawlessly even on this huge image.
Photoshop CS6 definitely stands up to stress better than its predecessor, so that probably means that in normal operation it's just going to run and run without fault. It will be interesting to see if we have fewer "Photoshop crashed" types of posts here on the forum in the coming months. We already know we're not going to have the "Photoshop crashed and I lost my file" types of posts (because of the new auto-save).

MikeKPhoto May 7, 2012 9:21 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)I did not try the Beta and downloaded and ran a test drive this evening. Had a nasty install issue where it reported my new download was a pirated copy ; but turned out to be a download manager problem.
Installed on my new i7 (8 core with 16 GM RAM) and man does this thing fly. I take lots of pano's and often get files in excess of 1 GB, PS CS6 handled them with grace and speed, much better that PC CS5 installed on the same machine.
Looking forward to puttin through it's paces over the next few days, and I tell you this release feels solid, well compared to LR4 which bit me in the rear end a couple of times
