Full details at Tech Tilt: Apple Updates iMac and Mac Pro, Introduces Magic Trackpad and New 27-inch LED Cinema Display.
Also, working pros who demand serious horsepower should checkout this insightful post from digital imaging technician, Brook Willard: The State of Apple’s Professional Line.

I caught this great tutorial earlier today from Matt Kloskowski on restoring torn photos with Photoshop. In it, he takes a photo that’s torn in half and does a super quick fix that looks pretty darn good. If you’ve ever tried to fix an old photo before and don’t know this trick, you’ll appreciate it.
If the embedded video above isn’t working for some reason, you can also find the video over at Adobe TV.

Additional release notes are indicated on the download page for Camera Raw 6.1.
Remember, this is a release candidate, which means it has been pretty well tested and Adobe thinks it is ready for full release; however, it’s recommended that you keep production work to prior versions until the official release drops. Expect it to come soon though. Release candidates mean that the final versions are just around the corner.
