Photoshop and Lightroom have both received shiny new updates from Adobe – here are the best new features.
If you’re a fan of creative Adobe apps like Photoshop and Lightroom, new software updates have delivered some fairly significant features that could make your editing life a lot easier. PhotoshopLightroom
While some of these improvements are tweaks that are mainly designed to help smooth your workflow, others are more significant, and point to an AI-driven future that echoes the computational photography advances made by smartphones.
Rather than list all of the updates to Photoshop and Lightroom, we’ve picked out the five most interesting ones for photo editors and designers. These include some big changes to Camera Raw – which is the raw file editing software that comes with Photoshop – and an improved ‘subject select’ feature that appears to handle hair significantly better than most smartphone Portrait modes.
But first, a feature than Apple iPad-owning photo editors have been crying out for…
A curious frustration with being both a Creative Cloud subscriber and Apple iPad owner has been that you haven’t been able to send images you’re working on directly to Photoshop (and vice versa).
Well, Adobe has finally fixed that with a new ‘Edit in Photoshop’ option in the Lightroom app, which you’ll now find in the Share menu. You’ll also find a similar ‘Send to Lightroom’ button in the Photoshop app, making it much easier to do a round trip that’s second nature to photo editors on desktop software.
Here’s a potentially big time-saver for the designers among you – Adobe has included a fairly significant upgrade to the Subject selection command in its new Photoshop update.
