Adobe Photoshop CS6 brought a suite of tools for video editing. Color and exposure adjustments, as well as layers, are among a few things that are featured in this new editor. Upon completion of editing, the user is presented with a handful of options of exporting into a few popular formats.<ref name="Adobe Photoshop CS6">{{cite web|title=Adobe Photoshop CS6 hands-on preview|url=https://www.theverge.com/2012/3/22/2890617/adobe-photoshop-cs6-beta-hands-on|work=Article|publisher=The Verge|access-date=March 29, 2012|archive-date=March 29, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120329130133/http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/22/2890617/adobe-photoshop-cs6-beta-hands-on|url-status=live}}</ref>

CS6 brings the "straighten" tool to Photoshop, where a user simply draws a line anywhere on an image, and the canvas will reorient itself so that the line drawn becomes horizontal, and adjusts the media accordingly. This was created with the intention that users will draw a line parallel to a plane in the image, and reorient the image to that plane to more easily achieve certain perspectives.<ref name="Adobe Photoshop CS6"/>

CS6 allows background saving, which means that while another document is compiling and archiving itself, it is possible to simultaneously edit an image. CS6 also features a customizable auto-save feature, preventing any work from being lost.<ref name="Adobe Photoshop CS6"/>

With version 13.1.3, Adobe dropped support for [[Windows XP]] (including [[Windows XP Professional x64 Edition]]); thus, the last version that works on Windows XP is 13.0.1. Adobe also announced that CS6 will be the last suite sold with perpetual licenses in favor of the new Creative Cloud subscriptions, though they will continue to provide [[Operating system|OS]] compatibility support as well as bug fixes and security updates as necessary.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/2037034/adobe-scraps-software-licenses-in-favor-of-cloud-subscription-scheme-for-creative-suite-line.html|title=Adobe scraps Creative Suite software licenses in favor of cloud subscriptions|author=Jackie Dove|date=May 6, 2013|work=Macworld|access-date=July 19, 2013|archive-date=August 2, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130802100114/http://www.macworld.com/article/2037034/adobe-scraps-software-licenses-in-favor-of-cloud-subscription-scheme-for-creative-suite-line.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Starting January 9, 2017, CS6 is no longer available for purchase, making a Creative Cloud license the only purchase option going forward.<ref>{{cite web |title=Creative Cloud now includes Creative Suite Master Collection and Design Premium features |url=https://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html |website=www.adobe.com |publisher=Adobe |access-date=January 19, 2019 |archive-date=January 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190120093445/https://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html |url-status=live}}</ref> No more updates will be available for all CS6 software either.
