In case you weren’t aware, Adobe is readying the next version of its Creative Suite (along with a new Creative Cloud offering) and as always, that will include a swanky new version of Photoshop. The product managers at Adobe have been previewing new features on YouTube, and another one just hit the web: Content-aware move and extend.

Adobe has posted a fourth sneak peek at the upcoming Photoshop CS6, which will be available both as part of the company’s Creative Suite 6 package as well as Creative Cloud, a monthly subscription service that will include all of the CS6 applications as well as a wide range of cloud-based services.

In the latest preview, Adobe senior product manager for Photoshop, Bryan O’Neil Hughes, demonstrates some new content-aware features that make short work of once complicated tasks. First up is a major improvement to the Patch tool, which allows users to select another area of an image to use for content-aware fill, perfect for areas which are too tight for the fill alone to work.

Next, Hughes demonstrates content-aware move, making a loose selection on a large object that he intends to shift over to the center of frame. Despite the fact that there isn’t a lot of excess space around the image, content-aware move handles the job like a champ in what can only be described as black magic. (Or maybe white magic, since it’s not really evil…)

Finally, content-aware tools are used to easily move a subject from one part of the frame to another and also to select part of the roof of a house and extend it with absolute ease.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 now features a new darker user interface, in keeping with Premiere Pro, After Effects and other members of the Creative Suite package. Adobe isn’t saying exactly when CS6 will arrive to rock our world, but the package is expected to land in the first half of this year.
