For the ultimate in graphics power and flexibility, Photoshop can't be beat. Photoshop offers more non-destructive ways of working than any other photo editor, and Adobe is always adding enhancements to help get the job done faster and with less frustration.
Photoshop CS6 brings exciting and innovative new features which will appeal to all types of users, as well as a modern new look and impressive performance enhancements to benefit everyone. Don't let the "new look" remarks scare you away, though--Photoshop was in much need of an interface makeover, and you will still be able to get around and find the tools you need.
I think the biggest bang for your buck in this upgrade comes from the many speed improvements and time-saving innovations. Background save and auto-recovery, for example, are long-overdue features that aren't going to dazzle you with eye candy, but will certainly be appreciated the next time your computer crashes or you lose power. I also really enjoy the new interactive on-screen controls in the new blur filters which allow you to make adjustments directly in the workspace and see results in context instead of having to move sliders around and guess at numeric adjustment values.
Let's be honest--no one gets really excited about cropping images, but it's something most of us do a great deal of. Well, the crop tool has been remodeled with an easier way to straighten images, and a non-destructive option that will keep cropped pixels in case you change your mind later about how to crop the image.

And if you ever found Photoshop's auto-correction tools less than impressive, these have all been re-engineered so that corrections are applied specifically for each image based on image data analysis. In other words, they actually work well now! This includes the one-click auto-correct tools in the Image menu, as well as the "Auto" buttons in the layer adjustment tools like Levels, Curves, and Brightness/Contrast.
New and existing tools like content-aware patch, skin tone based selections, puppet warp, and selection refinements don't always function as "magically" as Adobe would want you to believe, but they will save you loads of time and demonstrate Photoshop's edge over competing products.
