Straighten images in Photoshop CS6
Posted by Vikrant in Creative Cloud on July 27, 2012
It is pretty easy to straighten images in Photoshop CS6. The new and improved Crop tool lets you straighten images as well.
- Select the Crop tool.
- Click Straighten from the control bar on top.
- Draw a line along an edge that should have been straight. For example, draw a line along the horizon, or perhaps the edge of a building. Photoshop will automatically rotate the image by the right amount, resize the canvas, and show you a live preview of what the final image will look like

- Press Enter/Return to commit the change.
Note: If you want the option to revisit your decision about the crop, uncheck Delete Cropped Pixels in the Control bar. Enabling this option will perform a non-destructive crop.
Resize image canvas in Photoshop CS6

Did you know that you can use the Crop tool to resize the canvas in Photoshop CS6?
In addition to Cropping images, and performing a Perspective Crop, you can also resize the image canvas using the new and improved Crop tools in Photoshop CS6.
Resizing the image canvas is probably one of the most frequent tasks you do in Photoshop. It’s fairly easy too, and works in all versions of Photoshop. Choose Image > Canvas Size ( or press Alt+Ctrl+C) and enter the new values.
Photoshop CS6 introduces one more method. And a fairly cool one, I think.
Resize canvas using the Crop tool
1. Choose the Crop tool. The Crop handles appear on the edges of the picture.
2. Drag the handles outwards to resize the canvas. (Press Alt/Option to resize from the center)
3. Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS) to commit the changes.
InDesign CS6 | Arabic and Hebrew support
You can now create layouts and designs that contain Arabic and Hebrew text in InDesign CS6. There are several features that let you create world-ready content.
Adobe World-Ready composers already give you flexibility to work with indic languages. Support for Hunspell open source dictionaries let you download and use dictionaries that you need. Arabic and Hebrew text has some additional complications. But InDesign CS6, Middle Eastern edition has features that handle the additional complexitites and let you create designs with Arabic, Hebrew, or mixed content.
Create Arabic and Hebrew content
To create Arabic and Hebrew content, you need some special treatment. For example, Arabic and Hebrew are right-to-left languages, so you need the ability to change the paragraph direction.
Several other features, such as specifying Text direction, story direction, binding direction are included. Other language specific features such as automatic Kashida insertion, Diacritical marks, and Diacritical coloring are also included.
See Arabic and Hebrew features in InDesign Cs6 for more details.

Changes to Save for web in Illustrator CS6
There have been some changes in the Illustrator CS6 Save for Web dialog box. For one, its not called Save for Web and Devices anymore.
Ivan David rounded up all the changes and put them in one place. Have a quick look, to see what the changes are.
The Save for Web feature is used, chiefly, to optimize artwork and images for the purpose of using it in web browsers and applications. This was achieved by optimizing image size and color. However, as the web evolves and bandwidth becomes increasingly and easily available, the Save for Web feature has also evolved to keep up with the times. The feature has been reworked, and the changes include availability of certain formats from different menu options, removal of the WBMP format and automatic HTML generation, and modifications to the slices feature.
