New and improved features of Adobe Photoshop CC 2018

Improved brush management. Change the location of the brushes and store them in a convenient order. Using the drag and drop function, you can change the order of elements, create folders (including nested ones), change the preview scale of brush strokes, switch between viewing modes and save pre-created brush sets with specified opacity, intensity, overlay and color properties.
Increased productivity when working with brushes. Do not waste extra time due to delays when working with brushes. Now you will notice a significant improvement in performance, especially when working with large documents and large brushes.
Access to Lightroom photos. Upload photos from Lightroom Cloud cloud services directly to Photoshop using the search function or from the home screen. Closer integration between all Creative Cloud desktop and mobile photo processing applications allows you to synchronize all photos and access them from any device.
Smoothing brush strokes. The new anti-aliasing algorithm gives the images a more professional look. Change the degree of smoothing to get clearer lines, even while working with the mouse. This function is available in the Tool Options panel next to the intensity and opacity settings.
Variable fonts. Thanks to new font technologies from Adobe, Apple, Google and Microsoft, you can create variants of each supported font with different thickness, height, slope and other properties.
Quick Access menu. Send consolidated copies of works or links to them by e-mail, text messages, via social networks, etc. This function uses the sending mechanisms operating in the OS, including already authenticated services.
The "Curvature Pen" tool. Faster, intuitive and accurate contour creation. Move segments directly, without changing the Bezier manipulators, just like using the Curvature tool in Illustrator. Double-click is enough to switch between point types.
Improved contours. Improved contour design. Choose the color and thickness of the lines so that they are more noticeable.
Copy and paste layers. Copy and paste layers in groups, preserving their order and location. Now there is no need to change the order of layers by dragging. Copy layers to the clipboard and paste them to the desired location on the panel, in documents or between Photoshop documents.
Improved hints. Learn more about Photoshop tools without leaving the app. Thanks to the improved tooltips that are displayed when you hover the mouse pointer, you can view the description of the tools.
Working with 360-degree panoramas. Edit and export 360-degree panoramas. Photoshop saves important metadata for working with third-party viewers. You can move around the image, zoom in and out of it in a spherical workspace for a realistic preview.
Improvements to the Properties panel. Get more detailed information about resources in Adobe Stock, including the name and status of the license. Browse through the images and find similar ones on the Adobe Stock website. Edit font properties for several selected layers at the same time, change the interlining, etc.
Microsoft Dial support. Built-in Microsoft Dial support allows you to quickly access important controls without using a mouse. Control the brush parameters, including size, stiffness, opacity, intensity, and smoothing.
Inserting text without formatting. Now you can insert text without applying styles. You no longer need to waste time re-formatting the text after pasting.
HEIF support. Photoshop now supports the High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format introduced by Apple in macOS 10.13 and iOS 11.0. Thanks to the depth data provided by the iPhone 7 Plus smartphones and newer models of devices, you can create a depth of field effect using the Lens Blur filter.
Improved "Selection and Mask" function. Improved algorithm and higher performance allow you to get more accurate and realistic results, especially in cases where the background color is close to the color of the image. Other improvements to the user interface and usability include faster operation of the "Quick Mask" function and more convenient setting of the viewing mode.
General performance improvements. Thanks to improvements in the basic architecture, Photoshop has become faster and more flexible, so you can do your daily work in less time. Get to work even faster thanks to accelerated loading.
And much more. Additionally: improved performance and stability, accelerated saving of large files, improved facial recognition for the "Plastic with facial features" function, improved "Content-based Framing" and "Content-based Fill" functions.

Notes on portable assembly:

1. You can now choose the interface language of the portable assembly at the first launch PsPluginsPortable.exe
2. Camera Raw module 10.5.0.1001 is enabled (disk:..Photoshop19AppPsRequiredPlug-insfile Formats), but lens profiles are missing.
To add Camera Raw and Lens Correction lens profiles, download them additionally and unpack them to "disk:..Photoshop19AppPsResourcesCameraRaw" (initially, there is just an empty template in the portable assembly).
If you need to disable Camera Profiles and Lens Profiles for a while (besides, the program launch will speed up),
then it is not necessary to delete them at all: just put a "-" or another sign at the beginning of the name of the CameraRaw folder (example: "-CameraRaw"), and to turn it on, perform the opposite action.
