Photoshop’s latest update brings a host of incremental but impactful changes designed to enhance your editing workflow.
Coming to you from Unmesh Dinda with PiXimperfectThis helpful video explores the new features in Photoshop version 25.11.19. The update introduces a selection brush tool that allows for more nuanced selections with adjustable opacity. This tool can paint selections with varying transparency, which can be especially useful when working with shape fills. The video demonstrates how to use this tool to create selections that seamlessly integrate with existing textures and details. This nuanced control can save you time and improve the precision of your edits.
Another feature highlighted in the video is an improvement to the shape fill feature. This now allows for better integration with surrounding elements, making additions look more natural. Dinda shows how the transparency option can influence the shape fill feature to reference surrounding textures, ensuring new elements blend in more convincingly.
The video also mentions a new feature that allows for instant adjustments using the adjustment brush. This tool lets you apply adjustments like curves or hue/saturation directly to specific areas without complicated masking. For example, you can darken a part of an image or adjust its color with a few brush strokes.
Additionally, the update includes improved contextual taskbar controls for shapes and transformations. You can now adjust fill, stroke, and corner roundness directly from the taskbar, making it easier to fine-tune shapes. The taskbar also provides quick access to transformation options like rotating and flipping objects, which can streamline your design workflow.
The image creation feature has also been improved. You can now create entire images from scratch with a new dialog that offers a variety of effects and styling options. Whether you want to create artistic or photorealistic images, this feature provides a versatile tool for experimenting with different ideas. Check out the video above for a full rundown from Dinda.
