What’s New in Photoshop CC
In June, Adobe made a massive change in the way they sell their software—switching over exclusively to the subscription-based Creative Cloud. At the same time, Adobe released major updates to all the Creative Cloud apps…including Photoshop…now called Photoshop CC.
Listed below are just a few of the major updates to our favorite digital image editing application:
Camera Raw Updates
My favorite update: Camera Raw is now a filter right inside Photoshop—this means you can convert images to a smart filter and make non-destructive edits. Yes!
What’s New inside Camera Raw:
Automatic Level and Perspective Corrections (Upright Feature): This new feature inside the Camera Raw Filter will make horizontal, vertical and perspective corrections to an image.
The New and Improved Spot Removal Tool: The new spot removal tool inside the Camera Raw filter can be used in a non-circular fashion and is great for removing irregular shapes.
Radial Filter Tool : Also found in the Camera Raw Filter, the Radial Filter Tool gives you the ability to add multiple lighting effects anywhere in your image.

Shape Properties/Independent Round Corners
Now when you create a rectangle in Photoshop, the Properties panel automatically pops up. Use the properties panel to round all the corners or independently from each other. Adding rounded corners in Photoshop has never been easier!
