Photoshop CS (2003)

Functionality Overview:

Launched in October 2003, it was the Photoshop’s eighth major version. The version was known for better user control. Improved search capabilities and a vigilant Histogram palette that detects even minute changes in the image were other specialties. Match color was another innovation that ensured uniformity in a series of images.

Photoshop CS2 (2005)

Functionality Overview:

The version made its grand entry into the market with a fresh group of Photoshop tools and features, and facilities. Launched in May 2005, it was an expansion of the earlier form. Added benefits were things like Image Warping tools and vanquishing point. Users were happy to save time as they could make own custom presets. Vanquishing point deals with perspective correction in photographs containing perspective planes. After specifying the planes in a particular photograph, processes like cloning, copying, pasting and transforming are performed. Here, you get results that are closer to real-life. Image Warping allows a picture to be distorted or converted into a different shape. You can drag control points and achieve this condition. Both tools offer relief to artists or photographers who are involved in time-consuming and hectic photo retouching jobs. Above all, the version offers a user-friendly experience due to the ease of selecting features for specific purposes. Camera Raw version 3.0 was another important addition that allows more than one raw file to be edited at the same time. Other characteristics are better spot healing brush and smart objects. The addition of non-destructive editing was the highlight. It was the long-term demand of professionals from several industries.

Photoshop CS3 & CS4 (2007)

CS3

Functionality Overview:

Released on April 2007, the version’s hallmarks were the streamlined interface, better speed, improved productivity and enhanced performance. The third version in the Creative Suite saw the introduction of quick selection wand. Several popular tools underwent thorough overhaul, including brightness, contrast, curves, vanishing point etc. Camera Raw Files were greatly supported. Along with this, files formats including JPG, TIFF and PDF were supported. The Black and White Conversion tool was another benefit. Before, users had a hard time converting color photos into black and white ones. There were few options to do it, but all of them produced results which were far removed from reality. The Black and White adjustment breathed a whiff of fresh air and allowed even the less skilled users to engage in the process in an effective manner. The final results won’t even have a tinge of artificiality attached. Other additions included Fill Light and Dust Busting tools and nondestructive Smart Filters. CS3 Extended was also released on the same date and both were brought before customers through Adobe’s online store and Adobe Authorized Resellers. Available as stand-alone application, CS3 Extended presented everything in CS3, with much more additions.

CS4

Functionality Overview:

CS4 was the result of Photoshop’s promise to introduce changes with a vision to transform the software into a more user friendly one. This promise came just one year after the launch of CS4. The version which included Windows Vista 64 support came out in October 2007. Both CS4 and CS4 Extended released simultaneously. These software were sold through Adobe’s online store and Adobe Authorized Resellers. It is more convenient to handle with the simplified interface. It allows quicker photo editing because of the simpler zooming and panning. The content-aware scaling and mask panels were added, along with adjustments. Fluid Canvas rotation and file display options were other options. The content-aware scale and fluid canvas rotation were appreciated. The Content Aware Scale Tool equipped Photoshop enthusiasts to work on an image like never before. The tool allows photographs to be reduced in size without allowing details to be cropped or excluded. The Canvas Rotation tool offers unique editing experiences. With the tool, one can work on a particular image from any angle as it is possible to rotate it. Also, improvisations are visible in the color correction tool. Photoshop CS4 Extended brought out scientific imaging techniques too. Windows Vista 64-bit support was also added.

Photoshop CS5 (2010)

Functionality Overview:

This was the twelfth version of Photoshop and launched in April 2010. The version sparked huge expectations even before its official release as the development team had offered a sneak peek into the upcoming innovations through their Facebook page. It was sold through Adobe’s online store, Adobe direct sales and Adobe Authorized Resellers. The version stood out among the rest as it had incorporated few properties based on the suggestions and demands of users. More than 30 features come under the category, namely color pickup, rule of thirds cropping tool and another one for straightening images automatically. Other fresh tools were Puppet warp, Bristle Tips, Content-Aware fill, Mixer Brush and Refine Edge. The Content Aware fill tool was much appreciated by tech reviewers, media and customers alike. It was the improvisation of the previous version’s tool named Content-Aware Scaling. It allows users to keep good content, while avoiding unnecessary blank space through clever resizing of images. The new tool allows you to delete the unwanted element while maintaining the beautiful background unblemished.With the introduction of Adobe Mini Bridge, the process of viewing, arranging and editing the image library had become simpler. All these steps can be executed without closing Photoshop. Three-dimensional brushes and video editing features were included in CS5 Extended. The Shadow Catcher tool ensures perfection of 3D objects. Options to convert 2D images into 3D ones are another crowd pleaser. Options like Chrome, Glass and Cork were added in the materials library. The version supports more than 200 camera models and provides highly-developed facilities for deleting unwanted noise, while adding attractive effects like grains and vignettes. The Mixer Brush tool caught the special attention of creative minds as it almost made the mouse feel like a real paintbrush.

Photoshop CS6 (2012)

Functionality Overview:

The version came out with a revamped interface. Many design tools were newly introduced. The Content Aware tool came out with new features namely Content-Aware Patch and Content-Aware Move. The first one successfully removes unwanted elements of a photo. Flawless blending with surrounding areas is facilitated through this tool.Content Aware move enables users to move or extend the selected pixels to a desired area. The usage of masks and layers are no longer required. In addition, the version surprised users with a set of tools meant for video editing. After editing, it can be exported into other Photoshop file formats. Background saving was another innovation introduced. It allows editing to continue even while another document is getting archived. A big relief in the form of auto-save feature was brought by the version. It perfectly safeguards all your efforts and no more worries about works getting accidentally deleted. The straighten tool was yet another specialty of CS6. The tool enables any line drawn on any part of the image to automatically become horizontal. The version gave a facelift to the overall performance of Photoshop. Meanwhile, Adobe stopped supporting Windows XP with the version 13.1.3. Therefore, only the versions upto 13.0.1 would work on Windows XP. Another major announcement was that CS6 would be the last suitemarketed with licenses supporting Creative Cloud subscriptions.

Photoshop CC (2013)

Functionality Overview:

This was the year when Photoshop underwent a change in nomenclature as Adobe switched over to the Creative Cloud System in 2013.The version made it mandatory to pay for the software’s downloads. Although met with stiff resistance, the system enabled users to receive the brand new version without further delay. Photoshop CC (14.0) was released on June 2013.Fresh additions in the version included Smart Sharpen, Intelligent Up sampling, and Camera Shake Reduction for reducing image distortion due to camera shake. A new update to Adobe Camera Raw (8.0) and editable rounded rectangles were part of it.

Photoshop CC (2014)

Functionality Overview:

Photoshop CC 2014 (15.0) was released in June 2014. Content-aware tools were enhanced in the version. It witnessed two new blur tools namely spin blur and path blur. Spin blur adds radial movement to motionless images. Directional motion to photos can be achieved through Path blur tool.Another exciting feature was the Focus Mask. Focus Mark generates a layer mask based on parts of the picture under focus. It works well when a particular portion is under focus and another portion away from it. The speed of a handful of tasks has been improved.

Photoshop CC (2015)

Functionality Overview:

The version marked the 25^th anniversary of Adobe Photoshop. It was released in June 2015 with the Photoshop latest features at that time. An easy browsing of stock images without leaving the platform was facilitated through the introduction of an integrated Adobe Stock Marketplace. Discounts in prices and in-app purchases were there. Other additions were improvised art boards and dehaze tool to help blurred images. It was creative like never before due to the facility for using ten shadows in a single layer. Other updates included Exports As and a better look of the entire software. The ease of operating the software from touch enabled devices was greatly improved.

Photoshop CC (2017)

Functionality Overview:

Unveiled on November 2016, the version started supporting new open type font format which is known as OpenType-SVG Fonts and it comes with EmojiOne and Trajan Color fonts. Another attraction was the facility to search tools. Articles written to help tackle problems while using Photoshop were incorporated. The introduction of a new template selector during document creation was another feature. A month later, support for MacBook Pro Touch Bar was incorporated.

Photoshop CC (2018)

Functionality Overview:

The latest version of Photoshop is Photoshop CC 2018. It introduces a makeover for the organization system pertaining to brush. The latest version of Photoshop permits a lot more properties like opacity and color to be saved per-brush. Also, brushes are classified into folders and sub-folders.

The latest features of Photoshop would be discussed at length over here along for securing more insights.

1) Masking Made Simple with Frame Tool

Frame Tool can be used for swiftly creating placeholder frames in shapes of rectangle or ellipse. Images to be masked have to be placed in such frames. Any text or shape may also be converted into frames for filling the same with images.

For the purpose of placing the image within the frame, you just need to drag the asset (Adobe Stock or Library) from the local hard disk or Libraries’ panel. Spontaneous scaling of the image would happen for fitting the frame. Smart Objects form is used by Photoshop for content positioned within the frame to allow non-destructive scaling.

2) Seamless Editing with Content-Aware Fill

The editing process has been rendered more interactive with dedicated Content-Aware Fill. This new workspace helps in achieving seamless fill with the help of Adobe Sensei technology. Choosing the preferred source pixels for using, rotating, scaling and mirroring them has become possible. Previewing of the modifications in full resolution in live mode is facilitated. The results can be saved to a new layer.

For launching the Content-Aware Fill option, you need to follow these steps.

1. After opening the image within Photoshop, demarcate the area to be filled with initial selection by any preferred selection tool
2. Select Edit > Content-Aware Fill from menu bar
3. The Content-Aware Fill workspace is activated
4. The default sampling space is displayed within the document window in the form of an overlay image mask.
5. The sampling area can be modified with the tools available on screen’s left side Tools panel
6. The fill area’s initial selection can also be modified
7. The sampling options and fill as well as output settings can be specified on screen’s right-side Content-Aware Fill panel
8. This would help in accomplishing the aspired for fill result within the image
9. The preview of the change would be displayed in full-resolution in live mode in the Preview Panel

3) Multiple Undo 
The Creative Cloud apps have already been supporting multiple udo. This feature has now been imported in Photoshop. Multiple actions on the document can be reverted/ undo using Control +Z or Command + Z in Windows or Mac. By default, the multiple undo option remains enabled.

After the inclusion of multiple undo feature, you can avail of following commands within the Edit menu.

1. Undo: The action is reverted by one step in each click. Shortcuts are Control + Z (Win) and Command + Z (Mac)
2. Redo: The action is taken forward by one step in each click. Shortcuts are Win (Shift + Control + Z) and MAC (Shift + Command + Z)
3. Toggle Last State: This is similar to the undo feature before the inclusion of multiple undo option. Shortcuts are Control + Alt + Z (Win) and Command + Option + Z (Mac)

Switching back to the shortcuts for availing legacy undo feature

The name of step or action which would be undone or moved forward while clicking the commands would be displayed against respective Undo and Redo sub-menus in Edit menu. The Step Forward and Step Backward commands are no longer available in the Edit menu. However, you can access the commands from History panel’s fly out menu. The modifications in layer visibility can also be undone by default. After clicking the Layers panel’s visibility icon, creation of history state takes place. With the help of History Options dialog option ‘Make Layer Visibility Changes Undoable’, this behavioral mode can be controlled. The option is also available from History Panel’s fly-out menu.

4) Hiding of Reference Point

Elements can be moved with ease on the Photoshop canvas while they are being transformed. Earlier, a reference point would appear when the element is getting transformed but now the it hidden by default now.

In the Options menu bar, the check box of ‘Toggle Reference Point’ can be selected for making to appear the reference point.

5) New Text Editing Option

In the Type layer within the document, you can start editing the text quickly by double-clicking with the Move tool. Tools no longer have to be switched for editing text.

6) Auto committing of Changes

With Auto-commit functionality, cropping, transforming, placing or entering text has become a breeze. Earlier, you had to click Enter in Windows, Return on Mac OS, or had to click on Options Bar Commit button for posting the changes.

In order to auto-commit the changes made during cropping or transforming, you need to carry out below actions:

1. Choose a new tool
2. In the Layers panel, click on a layer
3. With this click, layer would be selected and changes would be auto-committed
4. In the document window, click anywhere out of the canvas area
5. Next, outside of the box that demarcates the canvas area

If you are keying in text in the Type layer, you have to perform below actions for auto-committing the changes made:

1. Choose a new tool
2. In the Layers panel, click the layer for selecting it and also auto-committing the changes

7) Proportion Transforming 

This exciting new feature of Photoshop allows for proportion transforming of different layer types by default. Layers can be a pixel, bitmaps, smart objects etc. However, by default non-proportional transformation is still prevalent for vector shapes and paths.

When the layer is transformed, the practice of holding the Shift key during corner handle dragging for resizing the selected layer has been done away with. Shift was pressed for constraining the proportions of the layer. Now the proportional layer resizing happens every time you are dragging the corner handle for layer transforming and moving. If you hold the Shift Key, the layer would be resized in non-proportional manner while the corner handle would be dragged.

For resizing the layer proportionally while transforming, follow these steps:

1. In the Layers Panel, select the layer(s) to be resized
2. Select ‘Free Transform’ from ‘Edit’ menu or press Command + T (Mac) or Control + T (Win)
3. The corner handle on the bounding box has to be dragged for resizing the layer

14) Spacing Distribution

This feature which is already available in Adobe Illustrator was demanded by Photoshop users since long. This demand of customers has now been acceded to.

Spacing among the objects can be distributed now. The objects could already be distributed in Photoshop through even spacing of center points. However, if the size of objects varied, they can be evenly spaced now with this feature.

15) Performing Simple Mathematical Calculations

In every input box which is built for accepting numerical values, simple mathematical calculations can now be performed. For instance, you may type in a simple operation like 100+5 which would be calculated as 105. The outcome would be reflected in the numeric field. This feature can be used for swiftly calculating multiples of number or division values.

16) Visibility of lengthy layer names

Earlier in Photoshop, the layer name which would exceed the designated space was displayed as initial letters followed by ellipses…… The end letters were truncated. Now, the layers with longer names are displayed using the starting and ending letters of the layer with ellipses in the intervening space.

17) Support for Japanese Fonts

By using the Match Font functionality, search for Japanese fonts has been enabled. The text present within the selected portion of the image can be detected using Adobe Sensei in match Font.  The licensed Japanese fonts on the device can be matched now.

18) Document View Flipping

With ‘View > Flip Horizontal’, the canvas can be easily flipped in horizontal direction.

19) Placeholder text with Lorem Ipsum

When you place new type layer within the document, the placeholder text now appears with ‘Lorem Ipsum’. You can modify type preferences using ‘Edit > Preferences > Type’ and selecting ‘Fill New Type Layers With Placeholder Text’.

20) Keyboard Shortcuts ‘Select and Mask’
