It’s CS6 day! Adobe just dropped Creative Suite 6, which means a trove of updated apps with new features that make it seem like magical gremlins live inside your computer, processing your images.

There’s a lot to love about Photoshop CS6. But it’s easier to fall in love when you can see the tools in action, not just explained. Adobe’s dumped a load of official explainer and preview videos on its official Photoshop YouTube channel. Some are great, and others are just long and sort of boring.
