What Is Adobe Photoshop And Its Features

broken image


In 2003 Adobe included Photoshop in their Adobe Creative Suite, which bundled the program with Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat, and the next year it renamed the program Photoshop CS. Adobe Photoshop CS3, introduced in 2007, offers features that give users greater control over their digital images. Adobe Photoshop is software that is extensively used for raster image editing, graphic design and digital art. It makes use of layering to allow for depth and flexibility in the design and editing process, as well as provide powerful editing tools, that when combined, are capable of just about anything. Photoshop's Artificial Intelligence (AI), Adobe Sensei, has a new trick up its sleeve that smoothens skins without using the Blur tool. Choose Filter Neural Filters click on the Skin Smoothing to toggle on. When you apply your adjustments, set the Output to New Layer and Photoshop will generate the changes into a layer for the skin smoothing.

I am thrilled to announce that today Photoshop launches a great set of new features across the desktop and iPad versions, continuing to deliver on our promise to constantly improve the product for our customers on all surfaces. This is the largest batch of features since the Adobe MAX conference in November, 2019. New features range from the Sensei AI machine learning magic you expect from us…to great performance improvements that will reduce steps and increase productivity on your top workflows. We hope you enjoy them all.

I will draw your attention, in particular, to the improved Select Subject feature where our researchers have invented completely new Sensei AI and machine learning tech to deliver incredible automatic selection results—the double bonus of fantastic magic and workflow improvements wrapped into one experience. This Sensei innovation is on the forefront of imaging science. We are just at the dawn of artificial intelligence in the world of imaging and creativity, which is a very exciting place to be.

Select Subjectwith Portrait Power

When I first saw the new Select Subject demo'd with this image above, I was blown away. This update is a huge leap forward for selections of people and tricky elements like hair.

Here's what's changed. Select subject has been improved with a whole set of additional new algorithms that make one-click selections of portraits, which happen to be the most-selected subject in Photoshop, better than ever before. Now you get even better results with the same single-click, with a deep emphasis on hair.

I talked with Morteza Safdarnejad, one of the brains behind the magic of this release. Thanks to him, there is even more power hiding behind that one select subject button than there was just yesterday. Here's a little artificial intelligence 101 for us all:

  1. Select subjectisnowcontentaware, and appliesnewcustomalgorithmsifitdetects a personis in thescene. 
  2. Hair and treatmentaroundhairhasbeenvastlyimproved. 

We first introduced Select Subject with just a few algorithms powering the feature. Then we added a few more and chained them together, with each algorithm performing a different important task (find the object, make the selection, remove shadows, clean the edges, etc). With this release, we added even more brain-power to first detect the type of object you're selecting and then apply new specialised selection techniques per the needs of the content, with a lot of extra focus on getting hair right. All this is still packed behind the same single Select Subject button, and even though we've injected way more 'wow' behind the one click, Morteza and team have tuned the performance to produce these great new results in seconds.

Hopefully, from this you can see how we are using Sensei AI machine learning to constantly improve the results you get and improve the speed at which you're able to achieve better results, without unnecessarily changing the user experience or your workflows.

Adobe Fonts Auto-Activation

Adobe Fonts arenowautomaticallyactivatedwhenyou open a Photoshop document. 

We've all beenthere, readytogettowork on an existingfile. You open upyour .psd, and BAM—youaregreetedby a grumpymessageaboutmissingfonts. 

Nolonger! 

If your file uses fonts from our Adobe Fonts service, Photoshop will now seamlessly download them, completely behind-the-scenes. If you use fonts from other sources, we've also made it easier for you to get working sooner—missing fonts messaging will now only appear when you edit the respective type layer. In short, when inspiration strikes (or deadlines loom) you can now jump right in and get to work.

Rotatable Patterns

Any pattern applied in Photoshop can now be rotated as a property of that pattern (similar to adjusting the scale of a pattern). Now, easily change the rotation angle of pattern fills, pattern overlays, and even pattern strokes. Best of all, the rotation is completely non-destructive and can easily be reset or altered.

  • Place images into frames

Match Font Update

Match Fonts is a Sensei AI machine learning feature that enables you to identify fonts that appear in your images. Originally released in Photoshop a few years ago, here's how it works: the AI algorithm detects and recognises the font in a photograph; maybe you have a picture of text on a wall, in a sign, on the side of a car, etc. In the example above, I have a photograph of some greenery beside a new year's card with text written on it. The algorithm somehow determines that the pixels in the image are text, figures out what font it is, and then searches through your fonts to find a match for that text. If you want, you can also download a matched font from Adobe Fonts.

What Is Adobe Photoshop Elements

In this release, we've responded to our top customer feedback on this feature and improved the matching experience with support for more fonts, vertical text (as above) and multiple-line detection.

There's more?

There are many amazing services and features you already have access to via your Photoshop membership that you might not know about. Some of them sneak out into the world without much fanfare. Today, I will highlight the new Adobe Capture extension for Photoshop on the desktop.

Adobe Capture Photoshop Extension

The capabilities of the Adobe Capture mobile experience are now also available in Photoshop on your desktop. With this addition, you can use the Capture extension to access powerful mobile workflows to save time when creating a variety of digital assets. You can access the extension via CC Libraries.

With Adobe Capture you can take a photo of your surroundings, or an Adobe Stock image or any image source and incorporate characteristics of it into your work.

As you can see from the leopard example above, you can pull patterns, shapes, colour themes and gradients from the image to use in creative ways. Transform the coarse texture of tree bark or sweeping wisps of grass into the symmetry of a brick face or turn patterns of metal work into digital assets. Easily vectorise images and work with them as shapes or masks. Add the assets to your Library to access them anywhere you have CC Libraries. In addition, you can batch process multiple assets at once, or quickly extract multiple assets from a single image to reduce steps and save time.
