WHAT’S NEW IN ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD 2015 presented by
Photoshop CC 2015 With over 17 new features and enhancements added to Photoshop in this release, there is literally something for everyone.
Linked Assets Assets in your Creative Cloud library can now be linked–this means when a change is made to one of these assets, the change is rolled out to your team updating the asset(s) in any projects they are used in. This includes projects in Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign.
Artboards Artboards are a welcome new feature for those designing responsive or multi- screen layouts in different sizes. The benefit is that you can lay them all out within a single document and see them all at once. You can even copy & share content between artboards and export them all at the same time or individually.
Adobe Preview CC Adobe Preview CC is an iOS companion app that lets you view your designs on your target device as you work on them. Whether you’re designing a mobile app or a responsive web site, this new feature will be a huge time-saver.
Performance The Healing Brush, Spot Healing Brush and Patch tools have all been updated with Mercury Graphics Engine enhancements. Healing Brush results now show up in real time and the other two tools are now up to 120 times faster than they were in Photoshop CS6.
Better Panoramas By checking one box in the Content Aware Fill options, you can now automatically fill in the edges of your stitched panoramas. This will be a huge time saving feature for landscape photographers.
Blur Gallery The Blur Gallery filter, which enables you to simulate shallow depth of field, now lets you restore some of the digital noise to areas that you’ve blurred, thus enhancing the realism of the blur effect.
Content Aware Move The Content Aware Move tool has been updated with an option to speed up your edits by giving you the option to automatically Transform a selection after you have moved it with the Content Aware Move tool. Seemingly simple, this is a welcome time- saving feature.
Learn more Visit lynda.com to learn more about: • Creating and using artboards • Exporting artboards as PDF, PNG/JPG • The new Glyphs panel • Doubling up layer effects • Matching natural noise in the Blur Gallery • Introducing noice with Field Blur • Content-aware move, scale & rotate
Illustrator CC 2015 Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 gets over a dozen new features including Linked Assets, Adobe Stock, performance enhancements and the new Safe Mode.
Auto Save The auto-save feature is turned on by default, but you’ll want to go in and tweak your settings to your liking. You can do that by going to Preferences>File Handling & Clipboard and then looking for the Data Recovery section at the top. Once you’ve got it set, Illustrator will save copies of your work at the specified time interval making it easier for you to get the files back if Illustrator crashes.
Safe Mode The crash recovery feature is also nice because it will allow you to boot Illustrator into a new Safe Mode. Safe Mode allows you to start Illustrator even if there’s a fatal-crash-inducing event. You can even diagnose the problem and hopefully correct it before you restart the program again. This is a great feature that you hope you never have to use, but will be glad it’s there if you do.
Performance Adobe has finally brought GPU acceleration to both Mac and PC platforms. Assuming you have a compatible GPU, this means you’ll now be able to pan, zoom, and scroll a lot faster in Illustrator. BONUS: They’ve also increased the zoom percentage to 64,000% over the previous 6,400%.
Shape Builder If you’ve watched any of Justin Seeley’s Illustrator courses at lynda.com, you know that he’s a big fan of the Shape Builder tool. Well, now that tool is even better because you’re no longer limited by its linear functionality. Adobe has added the ability to free-form draw with the Shape Builder, making it easier than ever to merge or subtract your vector objects.
CC Charts (Preview) The final marquee feature of the 2015 release of Illustrator is the new CC Charts integration. This feature completely rethinks the idea of charts in Illustrator, and it provides you with some really interesting ways of creating graphical representations of your data. Keep in mind, in the initial 2015 update, this is simply a preview feature for now, and so it’s not quite feature-complete.
Learn more Visit lynda.com today to see how to: • Enable GPU Performance • Work with data recovery • Use the enhanced Shape Builder tool • Change your rubber-banding settings • Use the improved Curvature tool • Work with the linked CC library assets
InDesign CC 2015 Enhancements to Creative Cloud Libraries, the integration of Adobe Stock marketplace and Mercury Performance System support are just a few of the things that are new in InDesign CC 2015. Adobe has also added the ability to place images into tables, add shading to paragraphs and added integration with Adobe Comp CC.
CC Libraries The CC Libraries panel works much the same in InDesign as it does in Photoshop or Illustrator, but with a few minor adjustments. For starters, you can now add InDesign character and paragraph styles to your CC Libraries, which should make typophiles extremely happy!
Color Themes Tool Also of note is the ability to add color themes directly to your libraries using the Color Themes tool in InDesign. Now anytime you create a color theme using this tool, there is a new icon that allows you to instantly add it to the current library you have selected.
Create Linked Assets With the 2015 release, it’s now possible to create linked assets within your libraries. That means that you can have an asset stored in the library and dynamically update it via the Creative Cloud and have it then update across the board to all the apps that make use of the libraries feature. This is a huge improvement over the previous generation of the libraries feature.

Muse CC 2015 The latest update to Muse may seem small on the surface, but it is not. There are two major features that make this a great release: the addition of TypeKit web fonts and the new Muse starter templates.
TypeKit The integration of TypeKit and Muse enables designers to break free from the shackles of boring typography and unleash their creativity onto the web just as they do in print. The best part is that Muse takes care of all the coding stuff in the background. All you have to do is pick a font, use it, and hit the publish button. What could be better than that?
Starter Files If you need inspiration or a solid foundation on which to build your project, this update to Muse is for you. The 5 new Starter Files follow several distinct themes including personal websites, photography portfolios, restaurant landing pages, conferences and event websites, and business-centric sites as well.

Premiere Pro CC The integration with Adobe Stock and Adobe mobile apps continues in Premiere Pro CC 2015 but it does’t stop there. A new Lumetri Color panel offering powerful color correction along with smoother transitions between jump cuts rounds out the update offering.
Lumetri Color The Lumetri Color panel is a new tool that combines Adobe SpeedGrade CC and Lightroom CC technologies to allow you to adjust color and light within Premiere Pro CC 2015. You’ll be able to apply simple color corrections or create complex Lumetri Looks using intuitive sliders and controls.
Morph Cut When you want to eliminate long pauses from an interview, you’ll no longer have to deal with awkward jump cuts or cutting away to B-roll. The new Morph Cut transition eliminates this by using face tracking and frame interpolation to create a seamless transition in your projects.
Formats & Performance Improvements to Adobe Mercury Transmit promise to boost responsiveness and playback reliability on external high-resolution displays. Adobe has also added native support for the Canon XF-AVC and Panasonic 4K44 formats.
Adjust Video Duration If you’re needing to adjust the duration of a show to fit into a specific duration, the new Time Tuner feature is for you. Time Tuner, in the included Adobe Media Encoder, will automatically add or remove frames at scene changes, during quiet audio passages and in sections with still images or low visual activity.
Learn more Join Rich Harrington as he walks you through the new features in Premiere Pro CC 2015 including: • Preferences & settings improvements • Lumetri Color workflow • Assigning track output assignments • Working w/complex multicamera sources • New play/preview keyboard shortcuts • Using Morph Cut • and more!
After Effects By now, you’ve noticed a theme around Creative Cloud Libraries and the new Adobe Stock service–and yes, After Effects gets these features as well. After Effects CC 2015 also adds new ways to preview your footage, streamlined panel groups, a user interface that is optimized for touch.
Character Animator Adobe Character Animator combines the characters you design in Photoshop or Illustrator with your webcam to bring them to life. Character Animator applies your facial and body movements to the 2D character. Not only does it capture movement, but it can be used to record dialogue or a voice performance. You can then export your animation to After Effects.
Track Faces If you need to make a selective edit (such as color correction) on a person’s face; or you want to track specific points, such as someone’s eyes so you can change their color, the Face Tracker feature will provide you with a set of tools that makes this incredibly easy to do.
Learn more After Effects guru Chris Meyer walks you through all of the new features in After Effects CC 2015 including: • Unified preview • Uninterrupted preview • Adobe Character Animator • Face Tracking • User Interface Changes
