Complete Guide to Whats New in Adobe Photoshop 14.1

How to Name Your Layers

Setting up your files with generator is easy. By adding a file format suffix (.png, .jpg, .gif) to the layer name, Generator will automatically export that layer in the specified format. Other tags can specify size and quality. If you want more than one version of a given layer, you can generate multiple asset files from one layer by adding a second file name to the layer name. For example:

• Naming: "too1.jpg, tool2.gif."
• File formats: png8, png24, png32, jpg, gif.
• Compression: jpg1-10.
• Percentage-Based Scaling: 50%.
• Dimension-Based Scaling (defaults to pixels, other units include px, in, cm, mm): 100×100 px.
• Commas create multiple files from a single group/layer. Each tag must be properly formatted with a valid file extension.

2. Exporting to Adobe Edge Reflow With Generator in Photoshop 14.1

Edge Reflow CC now connects directly to Photoshop CC. It allows you to seamlessly import assets, content and shapes directly onto Reflow’s surface, creating a starting point for your responsive designs. With the intuitive workflow you can quickly create a web design project from several PSD files turned into pages of your site. Thanks to the Adobe Typekit your text will stay editable even in Adobe Edge Reflow using web fonts. Everything is generated automatically in the background including the HTML and CSS files so you can just focus on creating a seamless responsive web site by defining the layout for all the screen sizes.

3. Color Range Improvements in Photoshop 14.1

There are some useful improvements to the Color Range feature in Photoshop 14.1, specifically to Highlights, Midtones, and Shadows selections. Now, instead of a "hard-coded" range of values, the exact range of tones and the partial selection of surrounding tones can be controlled in a manner similar to Color Range’s sampled pixel method.

• Inside the Color Range dialog, use the Select pop-up menu to choose Highlights, Midtones or Shadows.
• Use Range to select the threshold value (Example: 245 means all values 245 and up are selected).
• Use Fuzziness to gradually fan out the selection to outside values (uses a partial selection gradient for smoothness).
• Hold Alt + Shift and click Reset to revert back to legacy default values.
• For Midtones, select two threshold values, specifying a range between the black and white sliders.
• Shadows works just like Highlights, except the Range selects values BELOW the chosen threshold. (Example: 20 selects all values 20 and lower.)
