Major update alert: Adobe Photoshop will soon simplify several types of edits and test a new tool to authenticate images. During Adobe MAX 2021’s virtual conference on Tuesday, October 26, Adobe announced new Photoshop features for the photo editor, including tools for enhanced object detection tools and an authenticity program to fight fakes. The list of updates also includes tools that are in public beta for changing the season, applying colors from one photo to another and creating more realistic composites.

Adobe is also bringing more Photoshop online—a move that allows people to comment on edits, test out beta features and conduct some lighter edits without a Photoshop download. Today’s announcement of Photoshop major updates also migrates several user-requested tools over to Photoshop for iPad. The Adobe MAX announcements are all rolling out today, with some of the features in a public beta.

Adobe Announces Photoshop Major Updates:

1. Beta Testing New AI Tools
2. Enhanced Object Detection
3. Photoshop Content Credentials
4. More Web-Friendly Tools
5. Photoshop for iPad now Supports RAW files

Beta Testing New AI Tools

Three of the newest tools are available in the Neural Filter workspace, as beta versions, are: Landscape Mixer, Color Transfer and Harmonization. Other previous tools are getting refinements, including the depth blur, superzoom, style transfer and colorize.

Landscape Mixer is a new tool in beta testing that allows photo editors to change the season of a landscape image. The tool works by combining two images, using wither the Adobe provided preset images or a unique image. Adobe says that users can upload a photo taken in summer and the Landscape Mixer can make that photo look like it was shot in winter or autumn. The tool can also make a photo look like it was taken at sunset. Designed for landscapes, Adobe says that the tool can still work for scenes with people by using masks.

Also in testing, Color Transfer is a tool that applies the tones from one image to another. Adobe says that adjusting the colors to match another image is a popular edit and that the beta feature is designed to shorten that process.

Powered by Adobe Sensei, Harmonization aims to make composite images look more natural. The AI tool adjusts the hue and luminosity so that the two images that are mixed together blend more naturally.

Enhanced Object Detection

Photoshop’s relatively young Object Detection tool is getting an upgrade with the newest version of Photoshop for desktop. The tool will now highlight detected objects when the mouse hoovers over them. Adobe says that the tool is also more accurate and can detect more details.

Another update is hidden inside a sub menu. Editors can go to Layers > Mask All Objects to generate a mask of every detected object in the image as layers.

Other improvements to Photoshop for the desktop include more gradient options, support for Apple Pro Display XDR, performance enhancements, and copy and paste from Illustrator.

Photoshop Content Credentials

Adobe is now testing Content Credentials, a tool that saves editing data to an image’s metadata in an effort to be more transparent about how much editing was done to a photograph. Content Credentials is an opt-in option — that means users have to turn it on. Once on, Photoshop will save what edits were done on the image and writes that information to the metadata. Viewers can then plug the photo into the verfity.contentauthenticity.org website to see what edits were done on a photograph.

The beta tool comes two years after Adobe announced the Content Authority Initiative. As an opt-in tool, it’s unlikely that malicious photo editors will turn the tool on. The other hurdle Adobe will have to cross for success is getting viewers to actually take the time to check the authenticity website. But, the tool to authenticate images could be a start to encouraging more transparency on an image’s origination, especially if the verification tool could perhaps be integrated into social media networks.

Photoshop on the Web

After introducing the ability to share and comment on Photoshop files saved to the cloud earlier this year, Adobe is now launching more web-friendly tools for Photoshop. The ability to share and comment is now available directly in the desktop version of Photoshop so photo editors don’t need to go back and forth. Adobe says that photo editors will be able to read and write comments and share from the desktop program. The online version of Photoshop will then allow others to comment and view without downloading the photo editor. Photo editors will be able to keep links private or public, as well as controlling what others with the link can do within the file.

But, Photoshop’s web program isn’t just for collaboration. Adobe says that it is testing beta features within the online platform. A few of Photoshop’s more basic tools, like selections, brushes, healing, and cropping, will be available in the web-based program.

Photoshop for iPad Now Supports RAW Files

The iPad version of Photoshop just lessened the gap from the fully-featured desktop version. Photoshop for iPad now supports RAW files, including the adjustments that Adobe Camera RAW would typically handle on a desktop. Adobe says that the app is compatible with the same camera RAW files that ACR currently supports, including photos taken on the iPad itself. RAW files can be embedded as a smart object, Adobe says, in order to be able to adjust the RAW file later.

Photoshop for iPad also now includes the dodge and burn tools, Smart Objects, and sharing and commenting.
