Photoshop-Viz: What New Features Will Be In Adobe CS6.5

What New Features Will Be In Adobe CS6.5 – or CS7?
We actually know some of the new product features that will be in the next formal release of Creative Suite… We know this because of the Creative Cloud, where some of these additions since CS6 have already been released early to Cloud members.

Here are some we expect would be included in the next version (click each for more details):

Photoshop: Copy CSS support, Image Deblurring, Conditional Actions, plus lots more.
Illustrator: Package Files and “Unembed” Images functions, Links Panel enhancements.
InDesign: Retina Display and native 64-bit/Cocoa support with dark UI, plus QR Codes.
Dreamweaver: Improved HTML5 support, new CSS Designer tools, better FTP transfers.
Flash Professional: 64-bit architecture, native cocoa, faster, more reliable, + new UI.
Premiere Pro: Too many to list – see the “NAB Reveal” sneak peek videos.
After Effects: Incredible new “Refine Edge” Rotoscoping and much, much more.
Audition: Sound Remover, Preview Editor, Native 64-Bit Performance, Favorites Panel.
Prelude, SpeedGrade, Media Encoder: See the first looks.
Inclusion into the suite editions of new Acrobat XI Pro, which is already in the Cloud.
Stay tuned as we will keep this list updated going forward…
In addition, by 2013 all major Adobe tools should natively support the new MacBook Retina and HiDPI displays, for which Adobe says free updates will be coming for all current users before the next release. The list includes Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and Lightroom. InDesign is more uncertain… Adobe says it’s its most complex software product, so InDesign support for Mac Retina may not be available until the next major release is shipping. The same goes for Flash Pro. Meanwhile, other applications like After Effects are said to be already compatible with Retina displays.

If you would like early access (now) to some of the new features listed above, consider checking out the Creative Cloud via either a free membership or paid subscription… Adobe says Cloud members will always have the latest versions available to use, which in a nutshell means that all product upgrades are included in the program.
