Adobe updates Photoshop CC

“We believe that these updates, which offer collaboration features critical for keeping visual elements consistent and target numerous pain points that users around the world face every day, will enhance efficiency and creativity altogether”.

Ramki Sankaranarayanan, Founder and CEO, Primec Focus Technologies believes that, “The launch at NAB 2016 was end-to-end business process orchestration for promo creation including automation of promo versioning using Adobe Premiere Pro CC”. Deeper integration of Adobe Stock into the CC experience enables a new One-Click Workflow that lets users select an image or video on the Adobe Stock website and place it on their creative canvas with a single click. They can contribute directly from desktop and mobile applications including Adobe Lightroom CC, Adobe Bridge CC, Photoshop Fix and Photoshop Mix, providing an easy on-ramp to showcasing and selling their work via Adobe Stock.

Search for and license new images from Adobe Stock from Photoshop’s Libraries panel.

Content-aware crop works exactly like you’d expect, you can crop or rotate an image, and Photoshop will fill in any gaps on the canvas. Photoshop then reads the contents of the image and fills in the contextual background. The tool allows you to tweak eye size, height, width, tilt, and distance; nose height and width; mouth smile, upper and lower lip size, width, and height; and adjust the face shape including forehead, chin height, jawline, and face width.

Face-Aware Liquify: Retouchers and anyone taking photos of people will really enjoy this new enhancement to the Liquify tool.

For those of you who use CC software for more than editing your photos, perhaps for working with text, you might recall a scenario where you were viewing an asset and loved the font but didn’t know what the font was.

In addition to performance improvements to Photoshop, including a 4x faster font menu and Content-Aware Fill, Adobe has released some fantastic new Adobe Magic features to Photoshop CC. “Adobe is continuing to innovate in all of its creative tools, pushing the bounds, and that makes it very hard for new market entrants to compete (except on price, for generic capabilities)”.

And finally, the new Match Font tool can detect text, even in flattened images, and suggest what font it is. You can now get a dedicated workspace specifically for the selection tools, which makes it easier to work with various masks.

The new update is being rolled out to all Creative Cloud subscribers globally at no additional cost.

The California company, known for its flash player used to view web content and for its publishing software Photoshop, has benefited from growing demand for digital media.

The company’s strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth and compelling growth in net income.
