Photoshop CC
Better brush organization
Organize and save your brushes in the order you want. Drag and drop to reorder, create folders and subfolders, scale the brush stroke preview, toggle new view modes, and save brush presets with opacity, flow, blend mode, and color.
Brush performance improvements
Don’t be slowed down by lagging brushes. New, faster reaction time is especially noticeable when working on large documents with large brushes.
Access to Lightroom photos
Get your Lightroom CC photos from the cloud right inside Photoshop via search or the Start screen. With deeper integration between all the Adobe Creative Cloud photography desktop and mobile apps, all your photos are synced and accessible everywhere.
Brush stroke smoothing
Get a more polished look faster with a new smoothing algorithm. Vary the amount of smoothing for cleaner lines, even when using a mouse. Available in the Tool Options bar, along with Flow and Opacity.
Exclusive brushes from Kyle T. Webster

Custom path color and width
Improve the look and feel of your paths. Choose the color and line thickness to make them easier to see.
Group layer arranging
Copy and paste multiple layers in groups, keeping the same order and location instead of having to drag them to reorder. Copy layers onto your clipboard and paste them at the desired specific spot in your panel, within and between documents in Photoshop.
Enhanced tooltips
Learn about the different tools in Photoshop without leaving the app. With enhanced tooltips, dynamic information surfaces when you hover over a tool.
360 panorama workflow
Edit and export 360 panoramas. Photoshop will maintain important metadata to work with third-party viewers. You can also pan and zoom around your image inside a spherical workspace for a realistic preview experience.

Language versions available for Photoshop CC
Graphic processor requirements
Features requiring the graphics processor
A compatible graphics processor (also called a graphics card, video card, or GPU) lets you experience better performance with Photoshop and use more of its features. Also, display problems, performance issues, errors, or crashes can occur if your computer’s graphics processor or its driver is incompatible with Photoshop.
Features that won't work without a GPU
If your graphics processor is unsupported or its driver is defective, the following Photoshop features won't work:
- 3D
- Oil Paint
- Render – Flame, Picture Frame, and Tree
- Scrubby Zoom
- Birds Eye View
- Flick Panning
- Smooth Brush Resizing
Features that require a GPU for acceleration
- Artboards
- Camera Raw (more information)
- Image Size – Preserve Details
- Select Focus
- Blur Gallery - Field Blur, Iris Blur, Tilt-Shift, Path Blur, Spin Blur (OpenCL accelerated)
- Smart Sharpen (Noise Reduction – OpenCL accelerated)
- Perspective Warp
- Select and Mask (OpenCL accelerated)

Tested graphics card
Adobe has tested the laptop and desktop versions of the following graphics processor card series:
- nVidia GeForce: 400, 500, 600, 700 series
- nVidia GeForce GTX 965M & 980M
- nVidia Quadro: 2000, 4000 (Windows® and Mac OS), CX, 5000, 6000, K600, K2000, K4000, K5000 (Windows® and Mac OS), M4000, M5000, P2000, P4000, P5000
- nVidia GRID K1, K2
- AMD/ATI Radeon: 5000, 6000, 7000, R7, R9 series, 7950 Mac OS
- AMD/ATI FirePro: 3800, 4800, 5800, 7800, 8800, 9800, 3900, 4900, 5900, 7900, W8100, W9100, D300, D500, D700
- AMD/ATI FireGL: W5000, W7000, W8000
- AMD RX 480
- nVidia GeForce 1080 GTX
- Intel® HD Graphics: P530, P630, 5000, 515, 520
- Intel® Iris Pro Graphics: P5200, P6300, P580
- Intel HD Graphics 515 and 520
Caution:
Tested cards may not meet the minimum bar for use with all GPU features. In addition to basic functionality, some Photoshop features, especially those which use APIs like OpenCL, require greater bandwidth, memory, or compute resources than other Photoshop features. These requirements can pose significant challenges when cards are placed in older machines, such as ones with low-powered motherboards or machines that make use of a single DIMM for their system memory, effectively halving the bandwidth between the system memory and the GPU memory.
Additionally, the relevant tests are performed when Photoshop starts up. On computers barely meeting the requirements, other running software may tip the balance from a card passing to failing. At times, OS updates, patches, and driver updates may cause issues with cards that were previously working fine.
We recommend you use the latest system and GPU hardware to make the most of GPU features in Photoshop.
Note:
Ensure that you have the latest driver for your specific graphic processor installed. Laptop and desktop versions of the graphics processor have slightly different names.
