Adobe Posts Photoshop CC (2014.2)
Details here: Photoshop – New Features Summary [CC 2014.2] (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/whats-new.html)
No mention of resolving the problems with merging (focus stacking and panorama stitching) posted elsewhere on this site; unless it is covered under this Enhancement – “Performance improvements to Mercury Graphics Engine to speed up Content-Aware technologies and the Focus Area selection feature” ?

I'm happy to report that it DOES fix the focus stacking problem. I downloaded it on my laptop (no way will I put it on my Mac Pro until I know that it works properly). I tested it with a small stack of images I made in the field yesterday at the Oregon Coast (incredibly beautiful, warm, atypical day for the coast in October), and it WORKED!
I do not know what else is new that matters to me, but at least the stacking works for me (and I expect for everyone).
That all took them WAY too long both to acknowledge and to fix, but at least it appears to be ok. I'll wait a few more days before doing anything with my desktop.

Excellent ! Good news.

The update appears to have resolved the issues with panorama stitching as well.

Even better.

It is likely of little consequence to most LL members but 2014-2 broke the resizing of text in scripts. Adobe is aware of the issue and I think they are working on a fix. There is a work around.
