The newest Photoshop delivers even more creative tools with blazingly fast performance boosts for creating superior designs and movies.

Content-Aware was a big improvement for Photoshop CS5, and now it's gotten even better in CS6.

There were two significant additions for the Content-Aware family of technology, Content-Aware Patch and Content-Aware Move.
