Photoshop cc 2015

gnoop

Did anybody find something new and useful ?

I guess I found one : Relink layer.

Wonder if there are anything else. Sometimes Adobe adds cool stuff silently and you discover it yeas later

Step back after you switched the layer doesn't go back to the old layer anymore

Overscroll.

PSA for anyone who is having bad performance zooming and panning around the canvas: If you turn rulers off it will return to normal. I really hope they actually fix this before 2016.

They changed the loading picture to something more appealing

Thanks for the overscroll hint, Mark. I didn't know that was there. FINALLY something so simple "just works" ...

Loaded up recently on my Surface Pro, and found that they updated the interface to scale properly with smaller screens. Even on my crappy 10 inch screen everything is perfectly legible.

What's new with overscroll? I think I did it before too


My own most most wanted Photoshop feature and hope is layer compositions remembering what composition inside a linked smart object is currently in use. So I wouldn't need to switch normal to color to roughness manually in those linked files . Too bad it's still working other way

Yeah seriously, its a feature I've been dying for ever since I started using photoshop!

The Mad Artist

Have they added it yet where Ctrl+Z affects you hiding and unhiding layers? (or maybe that's been there all along and I didn't know..)

Coolorus was updated to work with 2015 as well, thankfully. It doesn't have the weird quirks where you'd need to click back in your document to have the color "stick" anymore either, yay!

Looks like the Layer channel advanced blending is still gamma corrected can't use for channel packed masks still

Is the history log writing to text file new?

It doesn't seem to log when you use Actions though. I have actions to a bunch of things, doesn't record them. Hrmph. Not useful.

What does overscrolling mean?

CC 2015 has brought a major performance upgrade to my old Surface Pro 2. Now I can sketch using most of my brushed under the Balanced Power settings. Before, with CC, I had to switch to High Performance mode and the battery would drain extremely fast.

Nice linking to the page thread creator >.>

Stacking layer styles, oh man finally
you can now also generate normal maps / bump maps in photoshop

moose

whoa, that export stuff! thanks! going to try that tomorrow

moose

having to manually select my layer groups is kind of a pain, but having a hotkey to dump all 3 textures at once out is nice with the quick export feature. Not sure if it can replace qsave though. Only saves png, jpg, and a few others though... need to remember how to add TGA support. I added it with Generator, need to do some digging.

Looks like they fixed Generator not saving out images beyond the scope of the document bounds, and it restricts the exported file to the size of your document - very nice.

Normal Map thing is neat i guess, UI and preview is not good. Don't think i'll stop using Crazy Bump/Knald any time soon.

It fixed a lot of little quirks I was having with my previous version of CC. I was having an issue where PS would lock up for about 1 minute the first time I tried to use the brush tool each day which was a huge pain in the ass.

I have that same issue from time to time as well.

Guess I'll check out 2015 then

Got a chance to mess with the normal map filter, very cool, nice to have as a native feature. The performance on the clone stamp and healing brush are ridiculously improved. The 3d features seem a lot more usable now too, I might actually use it for some texture projection and seam fixes now.

Really solid update

weee

maybe cc 2016 will finally convince me to move to the cloud
