In CC 2014, you can convert an embedded smart object into linked or vice-versa. New in an earlier incremental CC release is the ability to link to smart object content instead of embedding it (helpful when combining large files into a single document). Also new is the ability to search installed fonts by typing part of its name or attribute into the font family menu, and preview the active type layer’s content in another font by pointing at it in the font menu (you don’t even have to highlight the text first). In CC 2014, you can access Typekit from the font menu and, once installed, use those fonts in any CC program on your computer. One of the benefits of a Creative Cloud subscription is access to hundreds of fonts via the online service Typekit. The new Path Blur filter lets you control the direction, angle, and speed of the blur along a path that you draw, enabling you to make an object fly across (top) or fall out of (bottom) the sky. Happily, both filters work as smart filters. The Spin Blur filter lets you put an incredibly realistic spin on an object using a simple set of on-image controls. Fine-tune the blur’s direction, angle, speed, and even how much blurring occurs at the path’s start and end points using a combination of on-image and slider-based controls. The Path Blur filter lets you create the appearance of motion along a path that you draw (it can be straight or riddled with curves). New in the Blur Gallery filter family are two offerings that let you simulate motion in a photo that doesn’t have any (or that doesn’t have enough). It does a fantastic job on photos that have a strong focal point and blurry background, though its dialog box sports a couple of sliders and brushes that let you fine-tune the selection, along with a button that sends the selection to the Refine Edge dialog box for more tweaking.īy using the Focus Area dialog box’s Add To Brush (circled), you can create a quick, near perfect selection in photos that have a strong foreground and blurry background. The new Focus Area command automatically selects the in-focus parts of an image. The new and improved Smart Guides display helpful spacing info about your document’s content depending on where you point your cursor (circled). By Option-dragging layer content, you duplicate the layer and see the distance between the duplicate and original as you drag. With the Move or Path Selection tool active you can see distance measurements between the active layer’s content and what your cursor is pointing at, including other layer content and the document’s edge. Smart Guides are automatically turned on in Photoshop CC 2014. On the other hand, the Fill command’s Content-Aware option sports a Color Adaptation checkbox for better blending, though (oddly) you have to turn it on. Unfortunately, both fields are tucked inside a sub-menu in the Options bar so they’re easily missed (plus the numeric range of what you can enter into either field should be noted in the tooltip).

So, instead of adaptation presets for the Patch and Content-Aware Move tools, there’s a Structure and a Color field that let you enter precise settings for more realistic blending. All Content-Aware tools are capable of better color blending, too, especially when used in gradients (think skies, water, etc.). Photoshop’s improved graphics engine cause the Smart Sharpen filter and upsampling via the Image Size dialog box to be a little zippier. With Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography program-you get Photoshop and Lightroom (along with a slew of Creative Cloud benefits) for $10 a month-this level of pixel-pushing power has never been more affordable. There are other slick new features: a command that automatically selects the in-focus areas in an image, two new motion blur filters, a Package command for corralling linked smart object content, and the ability to edit masks made with Camera Raw’s Graduated or Radial filters.

Time-savers include smarter smart guides and smart objects, updatable Layer Comps, a color picker that stays open, full Typekit integration, a searchable font menu with instant font previews on existing text, better blending with Content-Aware tools, the ability to sync more settings to Creative Cloud, and more. Adobe added some incredibly practical features to Photoshop CC 2014, especially where productivity is concerned.
