Just because a magazine prints in more than 4 colors doesn't mean it's not CMYK - 
Wired,
for instance, was for years CMYK plus two spot colors--often metallic silver and 
day-glo
orange. (But I think Conde-Nast cut it back to 4 colors soon after they bought it--the 
same
time they took out all the interesting content.) In general, when I think of six-color,
this is what I think of--CMYK+2 spot, or CMYK + 1 spot + spot varnish. But even if you 
are
running Hexachrome it's fundamentally a CMYK-based system with two extra inks to help 
cover
the holes in the CMYK gamut, not really a whole new colorspace--"CMYK-with-Band-Aids"

Photoshop does not natively handle Hexachrome, you have to buy a rather expensive 
plug-in.
