Illustrator CS6 - Adobe Mercury Performance System
The Adobe Mercury Performance system is a combination of solutions that makes Illustrator faster, more responsive, and able to handle larger files.
64-bit native support
Makes general processing faster on 64-bit Macintosh and Windows operating systems. Illustrator can now take advantage of RAM beyond 3 GB.
Handle larger files
Concurrent handling of large files is less likely to cause errors, like out-of-memory exceptions. Complex tasks, such as creating package designs, large-format graphics, or cartography, are better handled.
Improved memory handling
Reduces out-of-memory errors for operations such as rasterization, export, and working on several large files simultaneously.

Photoshop CS6 - Retouching and transforming Content-Aware Move tool The Content-Aware Move tool lets you quickly recompose images without complex layering or slow, precise selections. Extend mode convincingly expands or contracts objects such as hair, trees, or buildings. Move mode lets you place objects in completely different locations (most effectively when the background remains similar).
In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush and select the Content-Aware Move tool. In the options bar, choose Mode > Extend or Move . Adaptation options control how closely the new area reflects existing image patterns. In the image, circle the object you want to extend or move, and drag it to a new location. adobecs6blog.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/adobe-photoshop-cs6-extended/

InDesign CS6 - Alternate layouts
Use Alternate Layouts if you require different page sizes for print or digital publishing within the same document. You can use it to create different sizes of a print advertisement. Or to design the horizontal and vertical layouts for devices such as the Apple iPad or Android tablets.
Used in combination with Liquid Layout, you can significantly reduce the amount of manual work required to re-layout content for every new page size and orientation. You can also redefine liquid page rules, create links to original stories, automatically copy text styles to a new style group, and activate Smart Text Reflow to repaginate the story in the new page size.
To create an alternate layout, do one of the following:
Choose Layout > Create Alternate Layout Choose Create Alternate Layout from the Pages panel menu adobecs6blog.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/what-is-adobe-indesign-cs6/
After Effects CS6 - 3D enhancements Ray-traced 3D renderer A new Ray-traced 3D renderer allows for enhanced 3D capability. You can render compositions in a separate environment from the existing Advanced 3D composition renderer (now called Classic 3D). Many of the existing capabilities of the Classic 3D renderer are available in the new Ray-traced 3D renderer. Examples include soft shadows, motion blur, and depth-of-field blur. Options include beveled and extruded text and shape layers, bending of footage and composition layers, environment map support and additional material options.
