Photoshop
CC caused a storm when it was launched in 2013. From that point on, you
couldn't buy Photoshop with a 'perpetual licence' – you had to rent it a
month or a year at a time via an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. You
choose the plan you need, and the software is then available to you for
as long as you keep paying the subscription.
This
still causes dismay amongst some users, but there are upsides. Your
subscription includes free updates and an increasing range of Creative
Cloud services, such as the Behance sharing/collaboration site. And
since that rocky launch, Adobe has dropped the price and increased the
value. Photographers don't just pay less, they get two programs for the
price of one.
Adobe's
current Photography plan costs just £8.78/$9.99/A$9.99 per month (if
you take out an annual subscription) and includes not just Photoshop CC
but Lightroom 5.5. It's a great double-act – Photoshop takes care of the
editing, Lightroom takes care of the organisation. The free Lightroom
Mobile app enables you to view and edit photo collections on your iPad,
while Adobe's new Mix app offers Photoshop-compatible editing tools too.
Photoshop
CC and Creative Cloud are now a powerful and compelling option – and
Adobe has been releasing modest but useful updates. But June 2014
brought a new version, Photoshop CC 2014, which doesn't replace the
existing Photoshop CC app but is installed alongside it.
What's new?
Photoshop
CC introduced an all-new Smart Sharpen tool designed to maximise
clarity and reduce noise, together with a Camera Shake Reduction tool
that can analyse the direction of movement ('trajectory') and then
reverse the blur digitally. On Adobe's sample images it works really
well, but not all shots provide the right kind of blur, so don't expect
it to be a fix for every shaky shot.
Photoshop
CC also brought an 'Intelligent Upsampling' feature to help you scale
up pictures for big prints without the image degradation normally
associated with upsampling. You don't get any more detail, but sharp
edges are better preserved.
But
the biggest cluster of new features centres on Adobe Camera Raw 8,
Photoshop's companion RAW conversion tool. In fact, you can now carry
out so many everyday photographic enhancements in Adobe Camera Raw that
you may need Photoshop itself less and less. By the time the photo opens
in Photoshop, you'll have already done everything that needs doing.
A
new Radial Gradient tool lets you highlight the focal point of your
picture by darkening, blurring, desaturating or otherwise subduing the
surrounding areas. It comes with grab handles you can use to change the
shape and size and a central 'pin' you can drag it around with.
And
the Advanced Healing Brush now enables you to heal irregular areas by
painting over them, whereas previously you could only heal circular
areas. It's not as sophisticated as the Clone Stamp and Healing tools in
Photoshop, but it can cope with simple touch-up jobs very easily.
Best
of all, though, is the new Upright tool, which can detect lines in your
image which it thinks should be horizontal or vertical, and
automatically straighten them, correcting perspective problems such as
converging verticals. It works so well it's almost uncanny.
Adobe
released an update in January 2014 which brought 3D printing capability
and a number of enhancements for web designers, illustrators and
photographers – photographers could now apply a 'perspective warp' to
straighten buildings shot at an angle, for example. It's not unlike the
perspective crop feature, or the perspective tools in DxO Optics Pro and
Capture One, except that it can correct two planes (or two sides of a
building), not just one.
But
the biggest changes are in Photoshop CC 2014, released in June 2014.
You can now create a wider variety of blur effects, including 'path
blur' and 'spin blur'. Path blur can follow a line or curve you define
yourself, while spin blur gives a more authentic look to spinning wheels
or prop blades.
It's
now possible to create a 'focus mask' which selects ares of the image
which are in sharp focus. You could use this to create cutouts more
easily, for example, or apply a stronger blur to out-of-focus
backgrounds.
The
content-aware Fill, Patch, Move and Extend tools have have 'algorithmic
colour blending', which can produce more natural-looking results –
though, as ever, the success of these tools depends on the surrounding
objects and details in the image. When they work, however, they can be
almost uncannily effective.
There's
a significant change to two of the tools in Adobe Camera Raw, too. This
is Adobe's raw conversion plug-in – it launches automatically when you
attempt to open a raw file. The Graduated and Gradient Filters now have a
manual masking brush tool which enables you to mask the effect in
specific areas.
For
example, the Graduated Filter won't just darken the sky, it will also
darken anything sticking up into the sky such as a building – you can
now use the mask brush to remove the darkening effect from objects like
this.
These
are modest but useful changes, but don't seem enough on their own to
justify a whole new application alongside the old one. There's a lot
more going on under the hood, though, and Adobe has overhauled its
'Mercury' graphics engine, for example, to boost performance. It seems
that for now at least Adobe expects some users may want to carry on
using the older version, perhaps for compatibility reasons.
