How is this done in CS6?

Watch this video and tell me how he done what he done. I cannot figure it out. Can someone explain it to me? I mean how did he open the image that was there in raw by clicking on the layer and did he have those settings already premade for just that image or can you do it for any image..help please.

Thank you.

He had already opened the original raw file via Adobe Camera Raw and converted it to a Smart Object for Photoshop. If you open a raw image (via ACR) as a Smart Object in PS, you preserve the ability to link back to the original raw and tweak the settings and re-render them back into the Smart Object within PS.

While in ACR, hold down the SHIFT key and the Open Image button will change to Open Object. Hit the Open Object button and the rendered raw image will appear in PS as a Smart Object. Now, if you double click on the Smart Object, you will reopen the image in the ACR interface where you can make changes to the raw and re-render it back to PS.

An example - let's say you have a raw you want to edit. You open it in ACR and make your slider edits and hold SHIFT to Open Object in PS. The image now comes into PS as a Smart Object. You start to make additional edits and you realize that the white balance needs to be warmer. So, you double-click the Smart Object, opening the image back up in ACR, and make your WB changes and boom - the new raw edits reappear in the Smart Object in PS. WIth all of the other PS Smart Object filter edits re-applied on top of the edited raw.

You must maintain the Smart Object as a Smart Object for this to work - if you rasterize it, the Smartness is lost.

Hey...that is great info..thanks. One more question if you don't mind. When he clicked on the Snapshot icon, it says Adobe Camera Raw 7.0 or something like that ..when he clicked on it, it changed the image..how did he get that in the snapshots??

I would guess he made all the adjustments first, created the snapshot, reverted to defaults and opened as a Smart Object in PS.

Ok..then the snapshot would only be for that one image..it would work for that image only, right?

Two ways to handle this. One would be to apply the Snapshot and then save those settings as a Preset. The second would be to bring the image with the Snapshot and other images into ACR, click on the image with the Snapshot, then select (ctl+click) other images, go to the Snapshot tab and click the Snapshot desired which should apply those same settings to all selected images.
