This is very useful when trying to quickly get to a multiple of a value, or divide something up
Ability to see long layer names:
- For long layer names, Photoshop now retains the beginning and end of the layer name and puts an ellipses (...) in the middle of the name. Previously, the layer name used to get cut off at the end with ellipses (...)

As you adjust these sliders, Photoshop automatically chooses the type style closest to the current settings. For example, when you increase the slant for a Regular type style, Photoshop automatically changes it to a variant of Italic.
Quickly share your creations:
- You can now email or share your creations to several services directly from within Photoshop. When you share a document by email, Photoshop sends out the original document (.psd file). For certain services and social media channels, Photoshop automatically converts the document to the JPEG format before sharing.
Curvature Pen tool:
- The Curvature Pen tool lets you draw smooth curves and straight line segments with equal ease. Create custom shapes in your designs or define precise paths to effortlessly fine-tune your images using this intuitive tool. While doing so, create, toggle, edit, add, or remove smooth or corner points without ever having to switch tools.
Path options:
- Path lines and curves are no longer just in black and white! You can now define the color and thickness of path lines to suit your taste and for easier visibility.

- While using stroke smoothing, you may choose to view the brush leash, which connects the current paint location with the present cursor position. Select Preferences > Cursors > Show Brush Leash While Smoothing. You can also specify a color for the brush leash.
Copy-paste layers:
- You can now copy and paste layers in Photoshop—within a document and between documents—using the Copy, Paste, and Paste Into Place commands.
- When you paste a layer between documents with different resolutions, the pasted layer retains its pixel dimensions. Depending on your color management settings and the associated color profile, you may be prompted to specify how to handle color information in the imported data.

Photoshop supports the Surface Dial on bluetooth-enabled computers running the latest version of Windows 10
AI Upscale:
- Photoshop now features artificial intelligence-assisted upscaling to preserve important details and textures while resizing images without introducing distortions. In addition to skin tones and hair textures, this feature preserves harder-edged details like text and logos. Try it on soups, salads, pizza, and any other subjects that need that extra dash of texture preservation
Paint Symmetry:
- Photoshop now lets you paint symmetrically while using the Brush, Pencil, and Eraser tools. While using these tools, click the butterfly icon () in the Options bar.

Adobe Photoshop CC for Mac 2015.0.0
ARTBOARDS:
- If you are a web or UX designer, you increasingly find yourself designing websites or apps for multiple devices. Artboards, new in the 2015 release of Photoshop CC, help streamline your design process by giving you an infinite canvas on which you can lay out designs for different devices and screens. While creating artboards, you can choose from a wide variety of preset sizes or define your own custom artboard size.
- Artboards are useful even if you normally design for just one screen size. For example, while designing a website, you can use artboards to view designs for different pages side-by-side and in context.
CREATIVE CLOUD LIBRARIES:
Library-linked assets:
- When you use a graphic from the Libraries panel, a library-linked asset is created. This asset behaves in much the same way as a locally-linked smart object, but with the benefit of the asset being in the cloud. Also, when you create a new library graphic from a smart object, the corresponding layer is converted to a library-linked asset.
- Adobe Stock integration with Libraries:
- You can now add a watermarked stock image to any of your libraries directly using the Adobe Stock website. You can then use the watermarked image in your Photoshop documents as a library-linked asset. When you choose to license the image—which you can do directly from within the Libraries panel—all instances of the watermarked asset in your open documents are updated to the high-resolution licensed image.
Performance improvements:
- Libraries integration with Photoshop now offers reduced disk usage, more efficient bandwidth utilization, and faster propagation of library changes between Creative Cloud applications.
ADOBE STOCK:
- Adobe Stock is a new service that provides designers and businesses with access to 40 million high-quality, curated, royalty-free images, illustrations, and vector graphics for all their creative projects. You can search for Adobe Stock content directly from within Photoshop. Select File > Search Adobe Stock.
- Adobe Stock is also deeply integrated with Creative Cloud Libraries. You can now add a watermarked stock image to any of your libraries directly using the Adobe Stock website. You can then use the watermarked image in your Photoshop documents as a library-linked asset. When you choose to license the image—which you can do directly from within the Libraries panel—all instances of the watermarked asset in your open documents are updated to the high-resolution licensed image.
DESIGN SPACE (PREVIEW):
- Design Space (Preview) is aimed at becoming a modern design experience inside Photoshop streamlined for the requirements of web, UX and mobile app designers. It's an HMTL5/CSS/JS layer built on top of Photoshop. We’ve separated out standard Photoshop from the interface so that we can use this layer to create new UI, smarter interactions, and top-requested features. This release is a Technology Preview, which means it's an early look at this new direction. It's rough and there is a limited feature set but we want to get this out early so that we can start hearing from you.
- To enable Design Space (Preview), select Preferences > Technology Previews and then choose Enable Design Space (Preview).
EXPORT ARTBOARDS, LAYERS, AND MORE:
- You can now export artboards, layers, layer groups, or Photoshop documents as JPEG, GIF, PNG, PNG-8, or SVG image assets.
- Select the artboards, layers, and layer groups in the Layers panel; right-click the selection, and then select one of the following from the context menu:
- Quick Export As [image_format]
- Export As...
- To export the current Photoshop document or all artboards in it, select File > Export As [image_format] or File > Export > Export As...
LAYER STYLES:
- The Layer Style dialog now lets you apply multiple effects—strokes, inner shadows, color overlays, gradient overlays, drop shadows, etc—to a single layer style. Also, more than one instance of some effects can now be applied to a layer style.
- In Photoshop, select an option from the Layer > Layer Style submenu.
- Select the effects that you want to add to the layer style. Notice that some effects have a icon, indicating that they can be applied more than once in the layer style.
- Adjust the settings for the effects. For example, adjust the size and opacity of a stroke.
- Click OK to apply the effects to the layer style.
- UI changes to the Layer Style dialog:
- The left pane of the Layer Style dialog now lets you perform the following operations:
- Change the effect stacking order
- Delete effects
- Through a new flyout menu, accessible by clicking the icon:
- Manage what effects are displayed in the section
- Delete hidden effects
- Reset any changes you’ve made to the default state of the left pane
DEVICE PREVIEW AND THE PREVIEW CC COMPANION APP:
- Get real-time previews of your Photoshop designs on multiple iOS devices with the new Device Preview feature in Photoshop and the Adobe Preview CC mobile app. Changes you make in Photoshop CC are displayed in Preview CC in real time. You can reliably connect multiple iOS devices to Photoshop using USB or over Wi-Fi.
- If you have a document with artboards, Device Preview attempts to show you the correct artboard by matching the size and position of the artboard with the size of the connected device. You can also use the navigation bar to preview a specific artboard on the device or swipe through artboards that have matching widths.
BLUR GALLERY:
- Sometimes, after applying a Blur Gallery effect, the blurred area of the image looks synthetic or unnatural. You can now restore noise/grain to such a blurred image area to give it a more realistic appearance. Set the options on the Noise tab in the blur Effects panel.
GLYPHS PANEL:
- Photoshop now has a new panel that lets you work more efficiently with glyphs. Do one of the following to access the Glyphs panel:
- Select Type > Panels > Glyphs Panels.
- Select Windows > Glyphs.
3D PRINTING:
- Export as PDF or SVX files. You can now export 3D models as PDF or SVX files
- While specifying the 3D Print Settings, select Print To: Local. Now, select PDF File or SVX File as the Printer
- Control bump map depth. You can now control the depth or height of bump maps for printing.
