New in Photoshop CC | January 2014 You can now create linked smart objects whose contents are referenced from external image files. The contents of a linked smart object are updated when its source image file changes. With linked smart objects, you can use a shared source file across multiple Photoshop documents. Linked smart objects are particularly useful for teams or in cases where assets must be reused across designs. Linked smart objects are displayed in the Layers panel with a link icon ( ). For more information, see Create linked smart objects. A linked smart object in the Layers panel Adobe Camera Raw Enhanced in Photoshop CC | January 2014 Adobe Camera Raw now offers the following enhancements: Automatic straightening of an image through one of the following three interactions: Double-click the Straighten tool ( ) in the toolbar. With the Straighten tool selected, double-click anywhere in the preview image. With the Crop tool selected, press the Command key (on Mac) or Ctrl key (on Windows) to temporarily switch to the Straighten tool. Now, double-click anywhere within the preview image. Whites and Blacks now support Auto Levels-like functionality when you double-click the sliders while keeping the Shift key pressed (Shift- double-click). Auto Temperature and Auto Tint functionality. Shift-double-click within the image preview to invoke this functionality. Option to choose a background color for the work area and toggle the visibility of the hairline frame around the image. Right-click outside the image in the work area and select an option from the popup menu. Option-click shortcut support for the Synchronize, New Preset, Save Settings, and Copy/Paste (Bridge) dialog boxes. When you option-click a checkbox, it is selected exclusively.

See Filter effects reference. Crash prevention through improved GPU detection and disabling New option to select All Layers/Active Layers for Path and Direct Selection tools Isolation mode changes: Custom keyboard shortcut support for entering/exiting the Isolation mode Option to enter the Isolation mode by double-clicking is now unavailable in the Active Layers mode Instead of turning filtering off, exiting the Isolation mode now resets the Layer Filter to default values New option in the Properties panel flyout menu to control the display of the panel during shape layer creation Path point selection is now no longer retained while switching between layers Photoshop CC | June 2013 Reduce camera shake blurring New in Photoshop CC 6

Photoshop features an intelligent mechanism to automatically reduce image blurring caused by camera motion. If necessary, you can adjust advanced settings to further sharpen the image. The camera shake reduction feature can reduce blurring resulting from several types of camera motion; including linear motion, arc-shaped motion, rotational motion, and zigzag motion. Camera shake reduction | A before/after example Images suitable for camera shake reduction The camera shake reduction feature works best with decently lit still camera images having low noise. The following types of still images are particularly suitable for shake reduction: Indoor or outdoor images captured using a lens with a long focal length Indoor images of a static scene taken with a slow shutter speed and no flash In addition, shake reduction can help sharpen blurred text in images affected by camera motion. For more information, see Reduce camera shake blurring. Image resizing improvements Enhanced in Photoshop CC The Image Size command now includes a method to Preserve Details and provide better sharpness while enlarging images. In addition, the Image Size dialog box has been updated for ease of use: A window displays the preview image from the resizing parameters. Resizing the dialog box resizes the preview window. The Scale Styles option is turned on and off from inside the gear menu in the upper right corner of the dialog box. From the Dimensions pop-up menu, choose different units of measurement to display the dimensions of the final output. Click the link icon to toggle the constrain proportions option on and off. The resample menu options are arranged by usage, including the new edge-preserving method. For more information, see Resizing images. 7

Note: Note: You can upload your creative images as work-in-progress to Behance directly from within Photoshop. Behance is the leading online platform to showcase and discover creative work. Using Behance, you can create a portfolio of your work and broadcast it widely and efficiently to get feedback. You can upload fresh images as well as revisions of images you've uploaded earlier. Behance integration with Photoshop CC is not available in France and Japan for now. Uploading revisions to Behance... Share your work from within Photoshop in one of the following ways: With a document open, select File > Share On Behance. With a document open, click the Share On Behance button ( ) in the lower-left corner of the document window. You can either start a new Behance portfolio using your Adobe ID or link your existing Behance account with your Adobe ID. For more information about Photoshop-Behance integration, see Share your work on Behance. For more information about using Behance, see this FAQ. You must be 13 years of age or older to sign up for Behance. You can share images of dimensions 320 x 320 pixel or higher. Sync settings using Adobe Creative Cloud New in Photoshop CC When you work on multiple computers, managing and syncing preferences across the computers can be time-consuming, complex, and prone to error. The new Sync Settings feature enables you to sync preferences and settings via Creative Cloud. If you use two computers, the Sync Settings feature makes it easy for you to keep those settings synchronized across the two computers. The syncing happens via your Adobe Creative Cloud account. Settings are uploaded to your Creative Cloud account and are then downloaded and applied on the other computer. Choose Edit > Sync Settings and then select the relevant options. For more information, see Sync Settings Using Adobe Creative Cloud | CC. 9

Note: 3D imaging Enhanced in Photoshop CC Also see 3D features | Creative Cloud-only for Creative Cloud-only features added to Photoshop CS6. These features are also available in Photoshop CC. 3D painting Photoshop CC features several enhancements that let you paint 3D models with finer control and greater accuracy. When you paint in the default Live 3D Painting mode, you can see your brush strokes update in real time in both the 3D model view and the texture view. The Live 3D Painting mode also offers significant performance gains and minimizes distortion. Projection Painting, the default 3D painting method in Photoshop CS5 and CS6, remains available in Photoshop CC. You can switch to this 3D painting method by selecting 3D > Use Projection Painting. Besides Live 3D Painting, Photoshop CC features the following enhancements to 3D painting functionality: When you target different texture types for painting, you can see the paint target in both the 3D model and the target texture view. You can choose to paint your 3D objects in the unlit mode. This mode ignores any lighting in your scene and wraps raw texture data of the appropriate type around your 3D objects. Painting in the unlit mode lets you paint without shading and with greater color accuracy. Available 3D painting methods Different painting methods are appropriate for different use cases. Photoshop CC provides the following 3D painting methods: Live 3D Painting: (Default in Photoshop CC) Brush strokes made in the 3D model view or the texture view are reflected in real time in the other view. This 3D painting method offers high performance and minimum distortion. Layer Projection Painting: (Enhanced in Photoshop CC) The Gradient tool and filters use this painting method. The Layer Projection Painting method involves merging a painted layer with the underlying 3D layer. During the merge operation, Photoshop automatically projects the paint onto the appropriate target textures. Projection Painting: (Only method in Photoshop CS6) Projection Painting is suitable for painting multiple textures simultaneously or for painting the seam between two textures. However, in general, it is a lower-performance painting method and may result in cracks when youre painting complex 3D objects. Texture Painting: You can open the 2D texture and paint it directly. For more information, see 3D painting. Live 3D Painting in Photoshop 10

3D panel Photoshop CC features a revamped 3D panel that makes it easier for you to work with 3D objects. Modeled after the Layers panel, the redesigned 3D panel is structured as a scene graph/tree having root objects and child objects. You can interact with 3D objects in the scene graph in several ways: Delete objects Reorder objects Reverse object order Insert objects Duplicate objects Make instances of objects (linked instances or decoupled instances) Group objects You can access these interactions from the context menu associated with a 3D object. Right click an object to access its context menu on Windows. To access the context menu on Mac OS, click the object with the Control key held down. Some interactions are not available for certain types of 3D objects. For more information, see 3D panel enhancements | Photoshop CC. Linked instance: Changes made to the object reflect on the instance Instance decoupled from the original object Filters Enhanced in Photoshop CC Smart Sharpen filter enhancements The enhanced Smart Sharpen filter empowers you to produce high-quality results through adaptive sharpening technology that minimizes noise 11

and halo effects. The streamlined UI design for this filter offers optimized controls for targeted sharpening. Use the sliders for quick adjustments and advanced controls to fine-tune your results. For more information, see Filter effects reference and Adjusting image sharpness and blur. Smart Sharpen dialog box Minimum and Maximum filter enhancements The Maximum and Minimum filters have been updated. You can now choose from the Preserve menu to favor squareness or roundness as you specify the radius value. Radius values can now be entered as decimals. For more information, see Filter effects reference. Preserve squareness or roundness Adobe Camera Raw as a filter New in Photoshop CC In Photoshop CC, Adobe Camera Raw is available as a filter as well. When you process an image in Photoshop, you can choose to apply the Camera Raw Filter (Filter > Camera Raw Filter) on images that are already open in Photoshop. This means that you can apply Camera Raw adjustments to more file types like PNG, video clips, TIFF, JPEG, and more. The images processed with the Camera Raw Filter can be on any layer. 12

Camera Raw Filter (Shift + Ctrl/Cmd + A) in Photoshop For more information, see this video on using Camera Raw as a filter in Photoshop. Adobe Camera Raw For information on the recent improvements in Camera Raw, see the video overview of Adobe Camera Raw 8. JPEG and TIFF file-handling preferences New in Photoshop CC New preferences are available to determine how Photoshop handles JPEG and TIFF files. These settings are particularly useful if your workflows include the use of Camera Raw each time you process an image, or would like to call Camera Raw selectively. For example, a photographer may want to process each image with the Camera Raw dialog before opening it in Photoshop. However, a retoucher or a compositor may want to open the Camera Raw dialog only for images that have previously been processed using Camera Raw. To modify the preferences in Photoshop, click Preferences > File Handling > File Compatibility section > Camera Raw Preferences > JPEG and TIFF Handling section. You can choose if opening a JPEG or TIFF automatically calls the Camera Raw dialog or not. For example, choose from the JPEG dropdown: Disable JPEG support. When you open a JPEG file in Photoshop, the Camera Raw dialog does not open. Automatically open JPEGS with settings. When you open a JPEG file in Photoshop, the Camera Raw dialog is opened only if the JPEG file has previously been processed using Adobe Camera Raw Automatically open all supported JPEGS. The Camera Raw dialog is opened each time you open a JPEG file. Use the TIFF dropdown to make a similar choice for TIFF files. Spot Removal tool Enhanced in Photoshop CC 13

The new behavior of the Spot Removal (Camera Raw dialog > Spot Removal tool, or keyboard shortcut B) tool is similar to the Healing Brush in Photoshop. Use the Spot Removal tool to paint over an element in your photo, select a source area that could be used on your selected area, and the tool does the rest for you. You can press the forward slash (/) key to let Camera Raw pick the source area for you. A zip-line that needs to be cleaned up (left), is identified, selected, and matched with a source area (center), and then removed (right) While the Spot Removal tool enables you to remove visible imperfections, some flaws in the photo may not be visible in the normal view (for example, sensor dust, or spots or blemishes on a portrait). The Visualize Spots option in the Spot Removal tool enables you to see smaller and less-visible imperfections. When you select the Visualize Spots checkbox, the image appears inverted. You can vary the contrast levels of the inverted image to see imperfections more clearly. You can then use the Spot Removal tool in this view to remove any imperfections. For more information, see the article on the enhanced Spot Removal tool in Photoshop CC. Radial Filter New in Photoshop CC The new Radial Filter tool (Camera Raw dialog > Radial Filter tool, or keyboard shortcut J) enables you to define elliptical marquees, and then apply localized corrections to these areas. The corrections can be applied within or outside the marquee areas. You can place multiple Radial Filters on an image, and apply a different set of adjustments to each Radial Filter. The image as shot (left), and the subject brought into focus using a vignette-like effect using Radial Filters (right) For example, a vignette-like effect has been simulated in the image above. Two overlapping Radial Filter areas were defined over the face of the subject, one slightly larger than the other. Using the larger Radial Filter area, adjustments were made to subdue the regions behind the face. The second, smaller Radial filter area was adjusted to brighten and highlight the face. For more information, see the article on the Radial Filter tool. Upright modes New in Photoshop CC 14

The Upright feature (Camera Raw dialog > Lens Correction > Manual tab) in Camera Raw enables you to automatically straighten image content. The Upright mode automatically corrects the perspective of the elements in a photograph. The feature has four settings that you can choose from: Auto: Balanced perspective corrections Level: Perspective corrections are weighted toward horizontal details Vertical: Perspective corrections are weighted toward vertical details Full: Combination of Level, Vertical, and Auto perspective corrections You can apply one setting, cycle through the others, and then choose the setting that is best for your photograph. Sample image before applying perspective correction (left) and after using the Auto setting in the Upright feature (right) Also, a new slider - Aspect has been to the existing set. The Aspect slider lets you modify the aspect of the image horizontally or vertically. Sliding the control left modifies the horizontal aspect, and sliding it right modifies the vertical aspect of the photo. For more information, see the article on Automatic perspective correction in Camera Raw. Multiple selection of paths Enhanced in Photoshop CC New enhancements in Photoshop CC let you work with multiple paths. You can apply commands to multiple paths from the Paths panel menu. Specifically users will be happy to hear they can select more than one path and delete them all at once. You can now perform the following actions: Shift-click to select multiple paths in the Paths panel Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select non-contiguous paths Drag either the Path Selection tool and the Direct Selection tool over multiple paths to manipulate them, even if the paths are on different layers. Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) a path in the Paths panel duplicates it Reorder a path by dragging in the Paths panel. You can only reorder paths that are not shape, type, or vector mask paths. Delete multiple selected paths at once. For more information, see Editing paths. Modify rectangles and rounded rectangles Enhanced in Photoshop CC 15

Note: You can adjust dimensions, placement, and the corner radii of a rectangle or rounded rectangle shape after it has been created. Each corner can be adjusted independently and adjustments can be simultaneously made to rectangles on multiple layers. For more information, see Modify shapes. Support for Indic languages New in Photoshop CC You can now type text in 10 Indic languages into your Photoshop documents: Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu. To enable Indic language support, select Preferences > Type > Middle Eastern And South Asian. Changes take effect for the next document that you create. When you enable Indic support, two additional composers are enabled in the flyout menu of the Paragraph panel: Single-line Composer Every-line Composer You can enable either Middle Eastern And South Asian support or East Asian support in a document. System anti-aliasing option for type Enhanced in Photoshop CC The new system anti-aliasing option for type gives you a realistic preview of how your type will appear on the web. This new option closely matches the anti-aliasing options in popular browsers for both Windows and Mac-based rendering. Other enhancements Significantly improved performance for the Blur Gallery. The Blur Gallery now uses OpenCL for previews as well as the final result. Several enhancements to the preset migration functionality: Presets are now migrated from the user library folder as well as the application presets folder Active presets are now migrated along with non-loaded presets Only presets for the immediate past version are migrated. For example, CS6 presets are migrated while CS5 presets are ignored from a migration standpoint. A system restart is not required after migrating presets. Changes to Windows Open/Save dialog boxes: Changes to the ordering and placement of some controls The Use Lower Case option has been removed. You can change file extension upper/lower case setting in the Preferences dialog box. Warning icons and the warning text info box have been replaced with the Warning button appearing next to the Save and Cancel buttons. When you click this Warning button, Photoshop displays a message capturing the reason for the warning. If a document has no warnings, the Warning button is hidden. The Warning button An angle control widget for brushes is now available from the options bar as well as the context menu. 16

Warp perspective | Photoshop CC Introduced in version 14.2 To the top To the top To the top Background Prerequisite: Enable the graphics processor Adjust perspective FAQ Photoshop lets you easily adjust perspective in images. This feature is particularly useful for images having straight lines and flat surfacesfor example, architectural images and images of buildings. You can also use this feature to composite objects having different perspectives in a single image. Background Sometimes, an object may look different in an image from how it appears in real life. This mismatch is due to perspective distortion. Images of the same object captured from different camera distances and angles of view exhibit different perspective distortion. Perspective distortion in images of the same object captured from different distances and angles (Creative Commons image courtesy: SharkD) Prerequisite: Enable the graphics processor Photoshop requires at least 512 MB of video RAM (VRAM) to run the perspective warp feature. For details, see Photoshop CC GPU FAQ. As a prerequisite to adjusting perspective, ensure that the graphics processor is enabled in your Photoshop preferences. 1. Select Edit > Preferences > Performance. 2. In the Graphics Processor Settings area, select Use Graphics Processor. 3. Click Advanced Settings. Ensure that Use Graphics Processor To Accelerate Computation is selected. 4. Click OK. Adjust perspective 18

Define planes Before you adjust perspective, you must define the planes of the architecture in the image. 1. Open the image in Photoshop. 2. Select Edit > Perspective Warp. Review the onscreen tip and close it. 3. Draw quads along the planes of the architecture in the image. While drawing the quads, try to keep their edges parallel to the straight lines in the architecture. Draw the edges of the quads roughly parallel to the lines in the architecture. As depicted in the illustration, you can snap two planes together. Here is a set of planes defined for a building. Manipulate the planes 1. Switch to the Warp mode from the Layout mode. 19

Warp mode 2. Manipulate perspective in one of the several available ways: Move around the corners of the quads (pins) as appropriate. For example, you can adjust the perspective of this image, such that the two sides of the building exhibit foreshortening in equal measures. The resulting perspective would approximate a direct view of the building from a corner. Adjusting the perspective, such that the two sides of the building are equally foreshortened Shift-click an individual edge of a quad to straighten it and keep it straight during further perspective manipulation. Such a straightened edge is highlighted in yellow in the Warp mode. You can manipulate the corners of the quads (pins) for finer control while adjusting perspective. Shift-click to straighten an individual edge of a quad and keep it straight during further perspective manipulation. The rightmost selected edge in this image is highlighted in yellow. 20

The selected edge is straightened. Also, the straightening of the edge is preserved during further perspective manipulation. Shift-click the edge again if you don't want to preserve its straightening. In the Warp mode, you can click the following icons for automatic perspective adjustment: Automatically level near horizontal lines Level horizontally Automatically straighten near vertical lines 21

Arrow keys H L W Straighten vertically Automatically straighten both vertically and horizontally Straighten horizontally and vertically 3. Once you're done adjusting the perspective, click the Commit Perspective Warp icon ( ).

Create Smart Objects | CC, CS6 To the top Note: Understanding Smart Objects Create embedded Smart Objects | CC, CS6 Create linked smart objects | Photoshop CC Filter the Layers panel by smart objects | Photoshop CC Duplicate an embedded smart object Edit the contents of a Smart Object Replace the contents of a Smart Object Convert an embedded or linked Smart Object to a layer Export the contents of an embedded Smart Object Understanding Smart Objects Smart Objects are layers that contain image data from raster or vector images, such as Photoshop or Illustrator files. Smart Objects preserve an images source content with all its original characteristics, enabling you to perform nondestructive editing to the layer. In Photoshop CC and CS6, you can embed the contents of an image into a Photoshop document. In Photoshop CC, you can also create linked smart objects whose contents are referenced from external image files. The contents of a linked smart object are updated when its source image file changes. Linked smart objects are distinct from duplicated instances of a smart object within a Photoshop document. With linked smart objects, you can use a shared source file across multiple Photoshop documents. With Smart Objects, you can: Perform nondestructive transforms. You can scale, rotate, skew, distort, perspective transform, or warp a layer without losing original image data or quality because the transforms dont affect the original data. Work with vector data, such as vector artwork from Illustrator, that otherwise would be rasterized in Photoshop. Perform nondestructive filtering. You can edit filters applied to Smart Objects at any time. Edit one Smart Object and automatically update all its linked instances. Apply a layer mask thats either linked or unlinked to the Smart Object layer. Try various designs with low-resolution placeholder images that you later replace with final versions. You cant perform operations that alter pixel datasuch as painting, dodging, burning, or cloningdirectly to a Smart Object layer, unless it is first converted into a regular layer, which will be rasterized. To perform operations that alter pixel data, you can edit the contents of a Smart Object, clone a new layer above the Smart Object layer, edit duplicates of the Smart Object, or create a new layer. When you transform a Smart Object that has a Smart Filter applied to it, Photoshop turns off filter effects while the transform is being performed. Filter effects are applied again after the transform is complete. See About Smart Filters. Regular layer and Smart Object in Layers panel. Icon in lower right corner of thumbnail indicates Smart Object. 28
