Today we re announcing the immediate availability of new Photoshop CC features for Creative Cloud members. This update to Photoshop CC (version 14.1) includes an exciting new technology, Adobe Generator, which allows new workflows, especially for web designers, screen designers, and anyone who needs to extract image assets lelong out of a Photoshop document.
Generator allows you to create image assets in real time as you work, eliminating the tedious steps of copying, slicing and exporting each layer manually, and saving you hours of time. Simply add a file extension to the name of your layer or layer group, and Photoshop will automatically create a JPG, PNG or GIF from the contents of that layer. If you make a change to that layer, the file is immediately updated. This means that you now have a folder of images that are always up-to-date with your Photoshop design.
To turn on this functionality, go to File -> Generate -> Image Assets. Now all you have to do is rename the layers or layer groups you want to export. Here are some examples of supported tags: .png (Default value: png32 with semi-transparent alpha), .png8, .png24, .png32 .jpg (Default value: lelong 9), .jpg(1-10), .jpg(1-100%) .gif 1-n%, (Number) px x (Number) px for scaling
Here are some examples of how tags can be used: 200% logo-retina.png, logo.png produces both a 2x and a 1x asset heroImage.jpg10 produces a 1x asset with max quality 400% tuningfork.png, 250×250 tuningfork.jpg40% produces a 4x PNG asset and a custom-scaled JPEG asset
Adobe Edge Reflow CC Connectivity Generator also enables lelong a real-time connection between Photoshop and Edge Reflow, the responsive web design application available as part of Creative Cloud. This connection allows you to get assets from your Photoshop document into Edge Reflow with just one click, so you can get started on your responsive design right away.
Open Source, Interoperable Technology Generator is a platform that can enable so much more, which is why we are excited lelong to release the Generator technology platform and the image assets generation feature as open source projects. lelong If you know JavaScript, it s easy to modify the existing plug-ins or write your own. Check out this video from the The Engine Co., who used Generator to write a plug-in for their Loom gaming engine that allows game designers lelong to change the UI of a game in Photoshop while the game is being played:
Generator is based on the popular Node.js platform and plug-ins can be written in JavaScript. Generator plug-ins give you deep access to your Photoshop documents, including bitmap representations, layer bounds, and much more. Get started with the Generator source code on GitHub lelong .
Additional improvements This update also includes many other improvements to Photoshop, including enhancements to Color Range options, Isolation mode, and path selection, as well as native PSDX support (read-only) and 32-bit image support for many more filters. See here for a full list of these and other performance improvements and bug fixes.
How to get the Update 1. Look for the update in the Creative Cloud application and click Update lelong . 2. If you don t have the Creative Cloud application running, start Photoshop and choose Help > Updates. 3. The Adobe Application Manager will launch. Select Adobe Photoshop CC and choose Update.
Give us feedback! Once you ve updated to the newest version of Photoshop and experimented lelong with Generator, don t forget to leave us feedback about your experiences. lelong Photoshop lelong wouldn t be what it is today without the loyal community of regular customers who help us find and fix common lelong issues. If you keep talking to us, we ll keep listening.

As usual? Um … no … every single feature, update etc has worked 100% perfectly since day one for me. Seems to me you’re bitter. Now, maybe you should chill out a little and contact support, instead of getting irate over it on the blog post
I ran into the same issue. Tried reinstalling, doubled checked the installation, rebooted my machine… nothing. Then I realized I was running my copy of the Adobe Photoshop CS6 application, which is not the same as the Adobe Photoshop CC. Fired up the Adobe Photoshop CC application, performed the updates for my CC applications, checked the version – and it’s up to date with the current features running.

i think thats why he asked for a reasonable alternative. while generator sounds like good news, putting still more features in ps wont fix that its genuinely not a website layout tool but a photoeditor.
