Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Photographers, written by renowned photographer and Photoshop Hall-of-Famer Martin Evening, and How to Cheat in Photoshop CS6, written by graphic artist and longtime Photoshop beta tester and author Steve Caplin, will be two of the new CS6-themed Focal Press titles on the shelves. Each book builds off of the authors’ previous versions in the same Photoshop series.

“Photoshop CS6 contains several key, new features, like Process Version 2012, the adaptive wide-angle filter and blur tools, as well as helpful enhancements to previous features like the crop tool and content-aware filling,” said Evening. “This new functionality will be useful for any design or photography professional who uses it and, through speedy adoption, it will definitely help streamline Photoshop users’ workflows.”

The Digital Imaging Masters series is a new Focal Press photography book series that also launches this month and presents key information pertaining to the use of Photoshop, as well as the latest CS6 version.
