Adobe wants to offer powerful solutions with the Creative Cloud 2017 and its 14 applications for desktop and mobile photographers and creative professionals. The company continues to rely on the Creative Cloud subsystem. The user rents the software for a period of time and uses the components unrestrictedly depending on the package. The installation is done locally on the computer, whereby the application is possible on two different computers. Creative Cloud applications run from Windows 7 or MacOS X 10.7. An Internet connection is only necessary when logging in – later working with the Adobe programs is no problem at the moment.
Innovations and improvements for the desktop and mobile devices
With the release of the Creative Cloud 2017, most programs are also available as a 64-bit version. In addition to supporting 64-bit systems, Adobe also supports modern graphics cards. Illustrator CC 2017 has been optimized for such boards to accelerate the display of complex graphics.
Even more image processing
The individual components of the Creative Cloud have received many improvements. This includes a new color pencil tool at Illustrator and a simple table sorting via mouse in InDesign. In the area of video editing, Premiere Pro and AfterEffects have been given new masks with tracking and improved keying effects.
Blur and effects
When publishing documents, Adobe Print uses the Web, mobile apps, and e-books. Lightroom is now available not only for the desktop, but also in versions for the iPad or the iPhone. Synchronization of images and information between the desktop and the mobile device runs through Adobe's online storage. It is included in the Creative Cloud 2017 feature set. Mobile presentation and editing should be easy.
Conclusion
The selection of image areas is one of the most frequently used features in Photoshop. The developer team has added a new selection option to the release of Creative Cloud 2017. Focus area allows you to automatically and manually mark parts of the image which have been recorded sharply. This is an advantage when you want to remove a person or object from the background in the foreground and then edit the areas separately.
After calling the function, Photoshop automatically attempts to determine the image area in focus. Sliders can be used to refine the settings and improve the selection. In addition, there is a brush mode, which allows the user to add or remove areas for selection.
The exposed objects position Photoshop selectively on a new layer or creates a selection. Adding a mask is also provided. The latter method allows you to improve the selection later on by editing the layer mask. In practice, the method works very well - but there is a certain dependence on the motif used. If foreground and background are clearly separated by sharpness, the final results of the new Photoshop tool are much better for the selection.
The filters for softening are a popular tool for adding dynamics to motifs. In the area of motion blur, Photoshop tools have shown weaknesses in the past that will improve Adobe with the blurs for circles and paths. Radial motion blur allows intuitive design in circular or elliptical shape. This tool is a gain especially in the area of car or sports. The height, width and angle of inclination for the radial blender can be changed for the flexible adaptation. Use the option palette or the mouse to adjust the thickness.
Even more flexible is the blur along a path. Points and Bezier control can be used to define the path for motion blur. Options for initial and final speed and taper are available. In combination with layers, selections and masks you can create interesting effects.
Long overdue, but now finally reality: With the font selection, every change in the font menu is also automatically made in real-time in the document. So far the search for the appropriate font was always a click-through and cost a lot of time. Access to the typekit fonts is directly available in the new Photoshop. Use of the service is part of a Creative Cloud subscription.
The handling of smart objects and the functions for content-based processing (including filling, scaling) have been revised. The guide lines now have an intelligent alignment option, which facilitates placement of objects. Edit photographers with Camera Raw 8 images in raw data format. There is an intelligent histogram and improved lens correction.
For friends of 3D printing, Photoshop now has a way to create, edit, and output geometry. 3D printing is performed on a separate device or on-line service. New are experimental features for Windows such as the support of touch displays or 200 percent mode on high-resolution screens. These can be switched on and tested in the setting.
There is also something for the price: the user books the photo package (Photoshop, Lightroom, iPad apps) for 12,29 euros per month - the prerequisite is the completion of a year subscription.
More about Photoshop!
Photoshop is the first choice for professionals - including photographers, designers and web developers. The new features help with the processing of images and the design of documents for printing, the Internet and mobile devices.
Users who only want to crop photos quickly or remove red eyes are overwhelmed with Photoshop. Here are Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro or a similar program the ideal tools. This also applies to the administration or adaptation of colors or sharpness of motifs. At this point Photoshop is simply too expensive and complex.
Ambitious hobby photographers or fans of image montage often missed Photoshop's features in other programs. Especially in the selection of image elements and the alienation of content, Photoshop is just a few steps ahead of the competition. The new Creative Cloud offer for photographers is a tremendous opportunity for Adobe users to access Adobe's professional tools at a very competitive price.
