The Curvature Pen tool is accompanied by another ease-of-use update to path lines, which define your paths onscreen. You can alter path thickness and color so they are easier to spot. Jackie DoveĮver struggle to follow the path? No longer. The Curvature Pen tool arrives on Photoshop, and not a moment too soon. You can then grab any point, adjust, or add points to better fit the selection. Like the similar tool in Illustrator, it is designed to easily create curved or straight paths, path segments, or shapes by clicking points instead of adjusting Bezier curves. Photoshop’s Pen Tool isn’t going anywhere, but if you’d rather have an easier way to create paths, Adobe has introduced a Curvature Pen tool. When you’re done, you can export and post to Facebook and other media that can display this format. For non-destructive layer based edits, you can choose the spherical map, and in the Layers panel, add layers with various edits. Once you import your 360-degree pano, you can edit it by drawing, painting, adding adjustments, removing objects, hiding seams, or adding text. But you can still work the old way, if you prefer. You can now save options like opacity, flow, blend modes, color, and size within brush presets and convert all your current brush tool presets into brush presets in one go. Say you’re working on a painting for which you have gathered a specific brush collection, you can now access all those brushes in a single folder. You can now drag and drop to organize brushes and group them into folders and subfolders for easier, more intuitive access.

Photography Plan subscribers get both Lightroom Classic CC and a simplified, mobile-oriented, cloud-friendly Lightroom CC (formerly Lightroom for mobile) with their subscription, along with 20GB of cloud storage and the Spark suite of cloud apps. The standalone Lightroom 6 will continue to be sold, but it’s the last perpetual Lightroom version, with Adobe’s support for camera updates coming to a halt at the end of 2017. With Photoshop CC 2018 and a rebranded Lightroom Classic CC for desktop, Lightroom is now subscription-only. How? For several years, Photoshop has been available only by subscription, either via the standard Creative Cloud for $49 per month or the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for $9.99 per month, but Lightroom was still available as a perpetual license.

You can follow the steps in the example or bring up the additional text instructions, available from the Help icon. Instead, Photoshop CC 2018 provides annotated steps using its own sample images covering categories like Photography, Retouching, Combining Images, and Graphic Design, each containing three to five instructional modules. Workflow recipes arrive with Photoshop CC 2018.
