Another nice change to the pen tool is the ability to adjust the path outline (colour and thickness) so it's easier to see. You still have to patiently add single click points to accurately get around a shape but it is easier to make accurate selections. We know you could do this before but as well as creating straight lines, the new tool allows you to trace around curved shapes much easier. Making selections on awkward shapes has always been a bit of a pain but with the introduction of the Curvature Pen tool, the process has got a little easier.В The Curvature Pen tool is located under the Pen tool in the Tools panel and you can use it to select specific areas of an image. The top row on the below image was drawn with a mouse and without the brush stroke smoothing feature while the line below did have theВ brush stroke smoothing option applied and you can see lines are much smoother.

In fact, even if you're using a mouse or pen to make edits, the software now produces much smoother lines when the brush stroke smoothing option is selected. Brush presets also retain their properties from tool presets and there's a symmetry tool that allows you to draw mirrored.ДЄs well as adding new brushes and making them easier to access/arrange, Adobe has worked hard to smooth brush strokes when working with trackpads and fingers on touch devices. The addition of new brushes may not be something all photographers will be interested in but if you're a digital artist, they're probably welcomed and the brushes also have a new folder system which makes them easier to navigate. There are also useful 'rich tooltips' now built in which pop up when you hover your cursor over a tool and they display a description as well as a short animation on how the tool works. They're a useful addition that are easy to follow and they will help those who have zero or just a basic level of photo editing knowledge. In total, there are 16 tutorials built into four categories and as well as written instructions, the walkthroughs visually show you where to click (on sample images that automatically open). The tutorials aren't going to make you a Photoshop master but they will help give you the basic introduction skills needed to understand and use the software. There are several tutorials that walk you through step-by-step instructions on tools used most often in the software.

We'll be taking a closer look at the new features in the performance section of the review.ДЇor those who haven't really used Photoshop before, the introduction of a new tutorial section is, actually, really useful. With the popularity of 360-degree photography and video ever growing, Adobe has also introduced a new mode for opening and editing 360-degree spherical panoramic images.

Photoshop is a great tool if you know how to use it but for a beginner, it can be a complicated piece of kit so Adobe has introduced a new 'Learn Photoshop' panel to, hopefully, make it easier to get to grips with.ДЇor those who are avid Adobe users, you may be happy to hear that you can now access LIghtroom photos from the start screen in Photoshop CC and continuing with the 'connected' theme, there's a quick share option so you can pop your images on social media quicker. This change also means that you can edit your photos from any location as your work is saved to the cloud rather than your computers hard drive.ДЄdobe Photoshop CC is packed with tools you can use to edit your images or produce digital art in a none-destructive way and Adobe had added quite a few new tools to its latest edition. Over 11 years ago, a company called Adobe introduced Photoshop to the world and even though it wasn't the greatest piece of kit back then, little did they know it would grow into the photo editing giant that it is today.ДЇast-forward to October 2017 and a new version of this popular software has landed with new tools, upgraded features and even a new section to get beginners editing their photos in Adobe Photoshop CC.ДЇor those who may not have used Photoshop for a while, it's now available as part of Adobe's Creative Cloud packages (we'll cover these in more detail in the value for money section) which means, instead of a one-off payment, you pay monthly to use it along with a range of other Adobe apps.
