Adobe Image Deblur

This filter is potentially available in CS6. It restores blurry photos caused by camera shake (not lens blur, wrong focusing, etc). It works by detecting the path of the camera shake and using its own algorithm to correct the blur. The results are magical.

Tools

---

Selection Tools (marquee, lasso, etc.)

The selection tools will now allow you to apply a value with a decimal point to the feather setting (ex. 1.5px)

---

Eyedropper Tool

The Eyedropper tool has new options which lets your tool ignore adjustment layers and/or sample from the current layer or below. This applies to all the eyedropper tools (ex. black point, white point, white balance tool, etc).

Brush Tool

There are many new improvements to the brush tool. The first update is rich cursor support for the brush tool. You can now adjust your brush settings using hot keys and see a live preview of your brush size, feather, and opacity. Speaking of opacity, there is a new hot key for changing the opacity (Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option+Up/Down). In addition, the maximum brush size has been increased from 2500 to 5000 pixels – you can expect to see even higher resolution Photoshop brushes when CS6 comes out!

Patch Tool

A new Content-Aware mode for the patch tool allows you to remove objects more precisely using content-aware technology. This tool is great for removing objects near the edge of your photo.

Content-aware technology was great for removing objects in Photoshop CS5. Now you can use content-aware technology to move objects! This tool makes it easy to move people and objects around.
