Adobe has finally given us a Brush Manager we can talk about; as well as lazy mouse Painting Symmetrically. And the ability to change path options; as well as a few other things.

Although I could of swore you could copy and paste between documents in previous versions ?

One could copy/paste pixel content, but not Layers themselves.

Oh. I still can't believe they took Project Felix named it to Dimensions CC and made it gold.  I felt as if it still wasn't ready for gold release.

Where can you access this tool? its meant to paint 3d models right? its it built inside Photoshop? I can seem to find it, or where to download it, or buy it?

[davescm]

Do you mean Dimension?
It is a separate application. If you have an all apps plan then you will see it to download in your CC desktop.

Project Felix doesn't run if you choose to install Dimensions as I've done

I was thinking about purchasing a brush manager; looks like I won't need too.  This release is better then last year in my opinion.

..... and look at the new path colour and size options

updating...

What was the name of the Brush Manager extension ? I ask because the new Brush Manager in Photoshop looks identical.

If you have carried forward your previous presets try clicking "Restore default Brushes and the brush folders should appear

I bet the author of Lazy Nezumi Pro will be miffed with this release as they have included a lot of it's features for smoothing. There are some really nice features here in this release.Anyone noticed 'variable font' under the type tool which looks pretty similar to the Multiple Master Fonts that where available a decade ago-they only worked with Adobe Type Manager but were very useful and I think this will be popular. The path tool at last can have any color and thickness, so Adobe must have been listening to us on that one. The 'Learn' panel also looks interesting for newbies and Lightroom looks far better integrated. I can't see much difference in Select and Mask but Adobe is claiming it now behaves more like the old 'Refine Edge'  There is also a brand new algorithm for upscaling images.

Also - don't forget that to get brush paint symmetry you have to turn it on in Preferences - Technology Previews. Hours of playtime in that one

At a first test it seems there might be output issues, though.

Yeah him, and  dozens of other plugin creators, this is alas is a big game changer, the question is, will Adobe make more useful updates that do not take 5 years or more to be implemented? or the next useful update will come in 2030? I could use a favorites button on the brush manager, and a way to lock the UI so I dont move my tabs by mistake when i dont mean to move them, how long will they take to add this in an update? will I be dead by that time? who knows.

@Renderluz Keep raising feature requests - and "Me Too" ing those you want to see.

Yes, it seems more than one plugin has been Sherlocked.

I've been using Magic Squire since June and JUST updated to v2 last week. Sheesh. The new brushes panel works virtually the same according to the demo videos. Cuda saved my self a few bucks from the upgrade.

I never though they would do it within my life time, I thought they would never add symmetry or a decent brush manager, count me completely surprised, not that I'm happy they took this long to do it, but alas they have done it, can't help but be a bit impressed, Im resisting thanking the devs, because they took such a looong time to add some of this things, almost making it a point to ignore their user base, but here it is: Thank you.
