Control, convert, and preserve color workflows with OpenColorIO and 32-bit tool support

OpenColorIO (OCIO) support is now available in Photoshop on desktop, allowing you to control, convert, and preserve color workflows at higher quality across programs. 

You can now do more with 32-bit HDR images in Photoshop. An expanded set of Photoshop tools is now compatible with 32-bit HDR images, enabling you to complete common workflows without converting images to 16-bit or 8-bit, which reduces image fidelity and color accuracy.
