Maybe all you you who subscribe to PhotoShop CC already understand this
but I didn't and pass it along here. Following is from this morning's
Tim Grey PhotoShop newsletter

Today's Question
In your Ask Tim Grey eNewsletter [on Tuesday, July 29th] you discussed
Focus Area selection. I have Photoshop CC 14.2.1 and my PS shows "up to
date". But under Select there is no Focus Area showing, even in gray.
Any idea why I don't have the Select > Focus Area?
Tim's Answer:
You do indeed have the latest version of Photoshop CC, but that is not
the latest version of Photoshop. It seems there is a bit of confusion
related to Adobe's latest updates for applications included in the
Creative Cloud subscription.
The initial release of Adobe's Creative Cloud applications were
referenced as the "CC" version of the application, without any other
version number indication. This is similar to the "CS" version of
applications when Adobe launched the Creative Suite.
Just as the Creative Suite version of applications reflected a new
version with a number appended to the "CS", such as "CS2", the Creative
Cloud applications have now received an updated version number of sorts.
The only difference is that this new version numbering approach involves
a year rather than a version number.
So, while you have the latest version of Photoshop CC, you don't have
the latest version of Photoshop CC 2014. Or, more to the point, you have
not yet installed the 2014 release of Photoshop CC.
Admittedly this change is a little confusing in the context of a
Creative Cloud subscription. Up to this point, to update your Photoshop
CC installation you would simply update via the Creative Cloud
application. When you did so, your existing Photoshop CC installation
would be updated to the latest version.
Now, with the 2014 release, instead of a simple update you will have a
completely new version of Photoshop installed alongside your prior
version. So, for example, you will end up with a 2014 release of
Photoshop CC along with the previous version of Photoshop CC. Once you
have successfully installed and configured the 2014 release of Photoshop
CC, you can uninstall the prior version of Photoshop CC.
And once you do install Photoshop CC (2014) you will have full access to
all of the latest features, including the Focus Area selection command
that is new with this latest release of Photoshop.
