Similarly you can also locate your pixel and shape layers. So incase you are looking out for that particular shape in the layer stack, all you have to do is filter them out based on text layers and your search is made much easier. You will notice the new icons on the top of the layer panel that allows you to filter the layers in order to search the layers based on pixel layer, adjustment layer, text layer and shape layer. CS6 allows you search your layers or rather filter them based on a particular field. However with the new CS6 layer options and features it’s made much easier. Once you hit a large number of layers, organizing and renaming them is a real headache. I did cover the topic of layers in episode 2, but I wanted to get inside it just a bit more.

Apart from that, you can create your own presets too. Using them you can easily crop images while maintaining the original aspect ratio or even choose to crop it to a whole new set of dimensions based on a preset. Another neat feature is the crop presets that are available. Another feature is that while you are making your selection, it also gives you the exact dimension of the crop selection. What many don’t notice is that this new crop tool automatically centers the crop section as you drag while creating your selection.

Now you can easily use these anchors and drag to select the area you want to crop in your image. In CS6 when you click on the crop tool icon, what you notice is that the crop tool creates anchors around the image and at the corners. However the new CS6 crop tool is different. Today I am going to focus on a couple of tools that most of us use on a daily basis.Įveryone is pretty familiar with the CS5 crop tool.
