You can invite other users to edit documents once it’s saved in the cloud cloud documents also now have version histories, allowing you to save particular save states. It’s a really good resource for beginners and intermediates, or for getting a quick overview of a tool before getting stuck in.Ĭloud document editing has received a fillip as well. Enter 'masking', for example, and you get not only a quick-and-dirty overview of what masking is, but also a set of downloadable tutorial assets for you to follow along with.

Hit CMD+F, enter a keyword and Photoshop will suggest a number of tutorials on that subject.

For instance, if you’re the type to have Photoshop open on one screen and a YouTube tutorial on another (something we're not ashamed to admit we do a lot) the new Discover feature is terrific.

There are tools elsewhere that didn’t get the same kind of headlines but are likely to prove just as useful – if not more so – day to day. The 'Discover' tab won’t replace your favorite YouTube tutorialist, but it’s a great improvement on the Help documentation normally included with photo editors. Expect to see it coming to some estate agent listings near you. It will give photographic purists the vapors, of course, but for commercial photography it could be a huge timesaver. For more clearly defined images it worked wonderfully. The only tricky image was one with snow-covered mountains against a pale blue sky – Photoshop failed to notice the slight difference in contrast between the two and pasted sky over the foreground. We tried it on a few different images and were impressed each time. It will also subtly adjust the white balance of your original image to make sure everything matches up. Head to Edit and choose 'Sky Replacement' and you’ll be greeted with one of the most impressive pieces of technology we’ve seen from a photo editor for a long time.Ĭhoose your preferred sky from a set of options – or choose your own – and Photoshop will detect the horizon of your image, mask it, and drop in the new sky. If the neural filters selection feels a bit beta, one of Photoshop 2021’s other new features definitely doesn’t. The new sky replacement tool is hardly going to win you any friends with your editorial clients, but time-pushed pros will love it.
