That information flows directly to you inside Photoshop so you can see and address the feedback in context. Your collaborators will receive a link to your document where they can access it on the Creative Cloud web site and leave comments, including adding pins and annotations. Quickly share your work for review with clients and colleagues and receive their feedback within Photoshop in the new commenting panel on both the desktop and iPad versions. According to Adobe, “When Photoshop can’t maintain editability from Illustrator, because Photoshop doesn’t support a feature for example, we try to maintain visual fidelity.” This should be a tremendous time saver for many designers, and one that I am looking forward to using myself.Īdobe is also implementing a new “Share for commenting” feature to make collaboration easier: One of Photoshop’s “top feature requests” is finally coming with this latest edition as well: the ability to copy vector shapes from Illustrator and paste them into Photoshop while retaining their editable attributes, groups, and layers. This results in an image similar to one taken using Apple’s Portrait Mode, though no lidar sensor data is required or used. The Depth Blur Neural Filter is not not new but is getting updated with a new machine learning technique that applies a more realistic blurred background while keeping the subject in focus to produce a more believable bokeh effect. From the Layer menu, users can now create masks for all the subjects detected in an image. Photoshop for desktop also gains a new ability to mask all objects in a photo with a single click.


Adobe also claims selections made with the Object Selection Tool “are now more accurate and preserve more details in the edges of the selection.” This enhanced selection method utilizes Adobe’s Sensei AI machine learning and should only improve over time. On the desktop, The Object Selection Tool is being improved to allow users to hover over an object and make a selection with a single click.

Starting things off, Adobe is releasing “a major feature release of Photoshop on the desktop and iPad.” Photoshop for iPad is gaining Camera RAW support and the ability to edit Smart Objects on the go, which I covered in a separate post. Illustrator CC and Illustrator for iPad.
