What's New?
Copy-paste text layer from Illustrator
Copy-paste Live Text from Ai - You can now copy text layers from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop as editable text layers.
Edge enhancement in Sky Replacement
Replace the sky in your photos - We have improved the quality along the edges of objects in Sky Replacement. The contrast between the foreground and background around the thin line objects is better preserved, and halo artifacts are reduced when replacing a bright sky with a darker sky or vice versa.
Multithreaded and GPU compositing
You can now use Multithreaded and GPU compositing options to speed up your workflows. Go to Preferences > Performance and enable the Multithreaded compositing option.
Preference improvement for saving new documents
When you select Save As on a new document, the cloud document picker dialog will show to allow quickly saveing your files to Creative Cloud. You can still choose to save locally on your computer.
Find your cloud documents in Recents
Cloud documents owned by you and accessed or shared with you recently will show up under Recents in the app home screen. To view your cloud documents on your desktop, go to Files > Your files in the app home screen.
You can also check out the What's new article for more information about new features.
