Community driven innovations
In 2024, Photoshop introduced various features aimed at improving adjustments, compositing, selection, and typography workflows, all based on community feedback. Users can explore these updates by updating their Photoshop app to the latest version.
Remove Tool with Distraction Removal
The Distraction Removal feature in the 'Remove Tool' automatically identifies and removes unwanted elements, such as wires or people, from the background and replaces them with generated content, maintaining image integrity, depth, and details. It allows users to remove multiple distractions, like tourists in travel photos or power lines in landscapes, streamlining workflows and reducing the effort required for manual editing.
Improved font browser
The improved Font browser allows users to search, filter, preview, and use over 25,000 free and licensed fonts from the cloud within the Photoshop app. Fonts can be searched by name, dialects explored, and the right typeface selected for any project without disrupting workflows. New fonts added from the cloud automatically sync across all Photoshop devices and Adobe Creative Cloud desktop apps for a seamless editing experience.
Selection brush
The Selection Brush allows users to intuitively select and adjust specific areas of an image. With adjustable opacity and hardness settings, users can create selections with varying transparency, feathered edges, and more nuanced effects. It offers greater control and flexibility for tasks such as selection, compositing, adjustments, and content generation.
