They are always working on new features when they are ready. There really is no long a concept of a "new majors version of Photoshop", it's there are new features that will be released incrementally.

yes, CC, CC2014, CC2015 - this one will be most probably CC2016 (new beautiful graphics with small letters saying something like "2016 Release" in small font)  ... but some people are still selling us "no longer a concept of a "new majors version of Photoshop"

Well, first of all, it seems that Adobe has to hype their product with features like "content aware crop", which sounds like another bell/whistle that nobody will ever use after day 3. I'm not sure what it is, but, in the back of my mind, somebody is saying, "Is it that hard to manually crop an image?".
Second, in the old, pre subscription days, they would bundle a few of these silly things along with something serious into a new package attached to the old software, and try to inspire people to spend 500 or so just to stay current. Today, it's just a steady trickle of monthly money for those that are using it, which is probably quite sticky (like that gym membership that makes you feel bad for not using it), so I guess they have to do a little show for the holdouts and newbies. So, therefore, content aware crop.

The principle behind the "content-aware crop" is not bad, but to hype as as an important or innovative feature is a little bit rich. The main advantage is that it allows you to keep the dimensions of rotated image in pretty much the original size, instead of reducing the size as the LR does after a rotation/horizon straightening.

I have used this trick as a two-step operation (first rotate image, then fill in the white corners using the content-aware fill or even clone tool) for several years since the content-aware fill was introduced in PS CS5. I find this technique quite useful in some situations, but it's easy enough to do it semi-manually as described above. Definitely not a reason to switch to PS CC.

It would be even better if they put this feature into Lightroom / Camera Raw.  I often use the straighten feature in Lightroom, which is very good for straightening buildings, but it can chop off the top of a steeple or whatever.

It would also help if the spot removal tool on Lightroom / ACR word at the edge of an image.

I would not expect CC 2016 before the end of the summer.

Which sounds like speculation from someone who's got zero experience testing this new feature.

I'm not sure what it is,
That's abundantly clear. For those who do know but can't yet speak of it, well that's a different story and a reason why some here (no names) will not take your comments at all seriously.  :P

I don't "test". I retouch and make pictures. Sir. Testing is for those who don't produce.

You've neither retouched or tested, nor ever used a feature you are knocking, that much is clear!

Ok, you got me. You egged me on to the point where I did some research about this wonderful new feature. So, let me put it this way. If one was required to do a Photoshop competency test while interviewed for a job in most any quality retouching shop, and used that tool, they would be politely snickered out the back door. I'm mystified why they included that in such an expensive piece of software, because it belongs on a tablet for rank amateurs to use, who probably never print their pictures, even at WalMart. But, then again, Photoshop is no longer "expensive", in the short run, so maybe this will prove to be a fantastic marketing tool that attracts said rank amateurs to the subscription service. I understand why Adobe walks this line, because serious photography and post processing is a tiny market, compared to the average consumer base, but, really, this feature doesn't even warrant serious discussion. Leave it to the IPhone snapping HDR masses to marvel over.

The way to put it is simple; you have ZERO experience with this feature yet you've stated something utterly ridiculous, as you do so often over on RetouchPro:
... it seems that Adobe has to hype their product with features like "content aware crop", which sounds like another bell/whistle that nobody will ever use after day 3.


Nobody or you based on zero experience with the feature?

"To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge". -Benjamin Disraeli
You've got a lot to learn about features in a product you have never used.
Meanwhile, your lack of transparency or chops if you will, is conspicuously absent just like on the RetouchPRO forums you frequent. Where is the serious photography (your term) of yours sir?

Well, if you must, about fifty major magazine covers over time,hundreds of national ads, and many catalogues. You know, the real world.

Bye. Working on a beauty shot right now. Not advising about how to do it.

Real or made up (like your statement about a new feature you've never used)? With such a consistent lack of transparency, hiding behind an alias, as far as I know, you're back on your daddy's computer, trolling again but on a new site. IF you've got some photo chop's, why not let us see em? Not that this would aid in your silly text on a feature you have never used, speaking for others, based on zero actual experience. But at least your rant about rank amateurs, and serious photography might have an ounce of truth! Might...

can you actually give us your website so we can see your work?   You are very opinionated and when questioned on your statement, you give some snarky reply.

This topic is not about a person but about a new Photoshop feature, that nobody has used yet.
Having said that ; 'Content aware' is there since some years now and for most of the pixel peeping community here it never brought ( and never will bring) anything more than a quick solution for websized images...
So without having tested this feature yet, i can imagine that Benny presumes it will not be of real value to him.

Not exactly accurate. Some have. Enough said. Those who haven't but complain about the feature should be ignored. That's my only point to Mr. Profane who's main goal is to rant and I agree, often provide snarky replies.

Talking about new Features;
I like the raw converter in ACR /lightroom, but my major problem is moiré;
If they would address that i would very much appreciate it.
( other craw converters have less problems with it)

added- an overcolored example of moiré at a place you would not expect it...
