Next generation Camera Raw
Process raw data—at high quality—from more than 150 digital cameras. You can also apply Camera Raw processing
to JPEG and TIFF files. See “Camera Raw” on page 85.
Image editing improvements
Smart Filters
Preserve image data integrity as you enhance your images with flexible, nondestructive smart filters. These filters
may be added, replaced, and re-edited at any time. See “About Smart Filters” on page 312.
Black and white conversion
Quickly remap colors in an image to monochrome, or have Photoshop analyze the image and recommend
conversion settings. See “Convert a color image to black and white” on page 170.
Improved curves
Use the color-correction presets to make automatic adjustments to curves. You can also create your own Curve
presets. See “Curves overview” on page 163.
Adjusted cloning and healing with preview overlay
Control multiple clone sources, as well as rotate and scale each clone source. You can also view an overlay of the clone
source as you paint. See “Retouch with the Clone Stamp tool” on page 195.
Expanded 32-bit HDR functionality
Capture bracketed exposures and then combine them into a single 32-bit HDR image with maximum range and
fidelity using nearly every tool and feature in Photoshop, including brushes, layers, selection tools, and other image-
adjustment and filter features. See “High dynamic range images” on page 77.
Compositing enhancements
Quick Selection tool
Make a quick, accurate selection of an irregularly shaped object without having to manually trace the object’s edges.
You just paint the selection using a brush tool and apply the Photoshop automatic edge enhancement for greater
selection accuracy. See “Select with the Quick Selection tool” on page 249.
Refine Edge feature
Modify the edge of a selection by expanding or contracting, feathering, or smoothing it using slider controls. Refine
Edge is a simple, flexible way to modify the edge of a selection. See “Refine selection edges” on page 255.
Photomerge with advanced alignment blending
Create advanced composite images with Photoshop. Place images with overlapping content on separate layers and
let Photoshop analyze the contents and blend the images seamlessly into a continuous image. See “Create panoramic
images” on page 239.
