Modern user experience on desktop and touch devices
The updated UI delivers a clean and consistent look throughout Photoshop, and you can quickly perform common tasks using a new set of gestures on touch-enabled devices like Microsoft Surface Pro.
Customizable toolbar and workspaces
Make Photoshop yours by customizing your toolbar and saving multiple toolbar configurations as parts of different workspaces. Included workspaces have been streamlined to give you quick access to only the tools you need.
Bring 3D characters into your 2D designs
Create beautiful compositions that feature 3D models and easily adjust camera angles and lighting. Start with a model created in Adobe Fuse CC (Preview), and then apply poses and animations from the Creative Cloud 3D Animation (Preview) area within the Properties panel. Composite characters into any Photoshop project from a layout to a video, or print them with a 3D printer. (Available in English only.)

Find fonts faster
Quickly find the font you need by starring individual fonts as favorites. Narrow down your search by filtering fonts by classification, like serif or sans serif, or by similarity.
Export faster with more control

More creative options with SVG import
Open and place native SVG files — which can rescale for any size device or any resolution — in your Photoshop designs. Just double-click the object to edit it in Adobe Illustrator.
Quickly find the right glyph
The Glyph panel now lets you see and insert your most recently used glyphs and sort glyphs for faster browsing.
More control with Adobe Camera Raw 9 enhancements
Remove or add atmospheric haze in specific areas of your photos using the Local Adjustment Brush, Radial Filter and Graduated Filter. Plus, use the new Bird’s Eye View feature to navigate zoomed-in images, and get support for more cameras and lenses.

Artboards for efficient design
Ideal for responsive and multi-screen design, artboards let you create multiple layouts in different sizes, lay them out within a single document and see them all at once. Copy and share content between artboards, and export them individually or several at a time.

Add more layer styles to get the look you want
Easily add up to 10 instances of select layer styles — including drop shadow, gradient overlay, color overlay, inner shadow and stroke — to a layer or layer group, and re-edit any style at any time. No more rasterizing effects or stacking in different layer groups.
Be sure your Photoshop designs look good on iOS devices
Get precise, in-context, real-time previews of your mobile app and responsive web designs on actual iOS devices. Adobe Preview CC is a native iOS companion app that lets you seamlessly connect your devices to Photoshop over USB or Wi-Fi to view your designs as you work on them.

Get more realistic blurs with additive noise
Add monochromatic or color noise to your Blur Gallery effects to better match your original image — and to reduce banding when viewing and printing.
Heal and patch images faster than ever
The Healing Brush, Spot Healing Brush and Patch tools have been turbocharged with Mercury Graphics Engine enhancements. See your Healing Brush results in real time, and get Spot Healing Brush and Patch Tool results that are up to 120X faster than they were in CS6.
Glyph panel for better access to glyphs in all your designs
Designed much like the Glyph panels in Illustrator CC and InDesign CC, the new Photoshop CC Glyph panel allows you to browse all the available glyphs in a font, view alternatives for currently selected glyphs and access commonly used glyphs.
Move and extend objects with more control
Adjust the scale and rotation of the object you’re moving or the area you’re extending thanks to Content-Aware Move and Content-Aware Extend improvements. Precisely position your final object to match the scale and position of your image using Transform on Drop.
Better panoramas with Content-Aware Fill
Check one box to have Content-Aware Fill automatically fill in the transparent edges of your stitched panoramas.
Adobe Camera Raw 9.1 enhancements
Remove or add atmospheric haze to your photos, and get more precise control over white and black levels when making local adjustments.
Better viewing experience on Windows HiDPI displays
Photoshop CC for Windows now supports HiDPI screens, so you get more pixels and sharper image displays. Previously released as a technology preview, HiDPI support now turns on automatically when the app detects a HiDPI screen.
Simplify complex 3D models
Easily reduce the resolution of 3D models to boost Photoshop performance and to extend the reach of your high-quality 3D content to tablets, smartphones and other devices.
Automatically generate bump maps from images
Automatically generate more accurate bump/normal maps from textures in photographs. Also, easily control the height and depth of the emboss/deboss generated from the bump/normal maps you add to the surface of 3D models.
Easily print your 3D content
Produce print-ready 3D PDF and SVX files, and submit print jobs to 3D Hubs from directly within Photoshop CC for quick and easy access to local 3D printing service providers.
