There are many, many changes in the newest version of Adobe’s Photoshop CS6. Here are a few that might be of interest to contemporary fine art photographers:
Dark UI
If you’re a fan of a dark interface, Photoshop now has the ability to go from the normal grey interface all the way to a dark grey or black interface. This can make editing images easier to see.

Photoshop usually had a problem where there were buttons in one dialog box, sliders in another, checkboxes in a third. By having a consistent look to the program, it makes it very easy for you to get efficient and consistent.
All-New Crop Tool
The crop tool has been completely redesigned, including pure aspect ratios, quick access to the tool and presets, rotation changes for the image, adding canvas changes.
