In addition to providing important Photoshop updates to desktops, Adobe today announced that it is bringing Photoshop on the web. The company also announced updates to other applications and services of the Creative Cloud suite, such as the products Lightroom, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Fresco, Behance, Adobe Stock and others.
"Today at Adobe MAX 2021, we announce a major release of Photoshop on desktops and iPads," writes Adobe Pam Clark.
“Plus, we're trying something new by releasing a public beta version of a new shared Photoshop web app. In this beta version, you and your collaborators will be able to open and view your work in program browsing, provide feedback and make some basic changes without having to download or launch Photoshop.”
Key improvements to Photoshop for desktop include auto-mouse capabilities for the Object Selector, a one-click Mask All Objects option for layers, new Neural Filters, a beta version of a Landscape Mixer tool that automatically adjusts the era of a scene. Color transfer capabilities that apply the color palette from one picture on the other, a Harmonization Neural Filter that intelligently adjusts an image's hue and brightness and, perhaps most notably, copy/paste interoperability with Adobe Illustrator.
On iPad, Photoshop brings support for files Camera Raw, the ability to convert layers into Smart Objects, Dodge and Burn tools, and a new Share for Commenting feature that integrates with Photoshop for desktop computers.
And the new Photoshop on Web, in beta, provides a portion of the full Photoshop product with Share for Commenting compatibility, basic editing capabilities, and more. Available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
Photoshop on the Web is part of a broader Adobe initiative to bring as much of the Creative Cloud suite portfolio as possible to the Web. You can learn more about this endeavor from official Adobe blog.
