Transcript: Hey everyone, welcome to suiteskills.blogspot.com, where we learn Photoshop together. Since we’re doing a podcast today, we’re actually not going to work in project form, but research. Let’s look at all of the new features that have been added to Photoshop 2017. First off, on new Mac’s you can now use the touch bar with Photoshop. The three available modes right now are layer properties, brushes, and favorites. And several context specific operations ca be completed too. Next, you can actually start your projects with available backgrounds, instead of from scratch. Next is my personal favorite, there is a comprehensive search bar allowing you to search for something you’re looking for. Whether it’s a layer, tool, or color you can now search for it. You can get there by clicking edit and then search or hitting Command/Control + F. There’s also a magnifying glass on the screen that you can click to begin typing. They have added some new fonts as well. Most notably EmojiOne font where you can use emoji’s in your images and work. They have also added OpenType SVG with the Trajan Color Concept. Next, the Polygonal Lasso is now available in the workspace. For more details click the link below in the transcript to be able to read about these new features! And who knows, maybe you’re new like me and didn’t even realize some of these features were recently added.
