What,s New in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015
The 2015 release of Photoshop CC presents amazing brand-new features for designers and digital professional photographers. Keep reading for a quick intro to these functions and connect to resources offering more details.
1. Artboard
If you are a web or UX designer, you increasingly find yourself designing sites or apps for numerous devices. Artboards, brand-new in the 2015 release of Photoshop CC, aid simplify your design process by offering you a limitless canvas on which you can lay out designs for different devices and screens. While producing artboards, you can pick from a wide range of preset sizes or define your own custom-made artboard size.
Artboards work even if you typically design for just one screen size. For instance, while designing a website, you can use artboards to view designs for various pages side-by-side and in context.
2. Adobe Stock
Adobe Stock is a new service that offers designers and companies 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 > Browse Adobe Stock.
Adobe Stock is also deeply integrated with Imaginative Cloud Libraries. You can now include 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 pick 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.
3. Design Space
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 improved top of Photoshop. We have actually 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.
4. Blurs with additive sound
Include monochromatic or color noise to your Blur Gallery effects to better match your original image– and to reduce banding when viewing and printing.
5. Layer Styles
The Layer Style dialog now lets you apply several 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, pick an option from the Layer > Layer Style submenu.
Select the effects that you wish to enhance the layer style. Notice that some effects have a icon, indicating that they can be used more than when in the layer style.
Change the settings for the effects. For example, adjust the size and opacity of a stroke.
Click OK to use the results to the layer style.
UI changes to the Layer Style dialog
The left pane of the Layer Style dialog now lets you carry out the following operations:
Modification the impact stacking order
Erase impacts
Through a new flyout menu, easily accessible by clicking the icon:
Manage what impacts are shown in the section

If you have a file with artboards, Gadget Preview tries to show you the correct artboard by matching the size and position of the artboard with the size of the connected gadget. You can also make use of the navigation bar to preview a particular artboard on the device or swipe through artboards that have matching widths.
