Adobe announced that Photoshop has on its roadmap a new collaborative space for team ideation called Canvas and an online repository for sharing assets and projects called Spaces. Web-based access and collaboration are coming to future versions of Photoshop. It also brought more precision for 16-bit image previews and an improved Harmonization Neural Filter. The previous major update added a more detailed, cloud-powered option for Subject Select search within Preferences and the welcome ability to give interface elements, like that glaring blue Share button, a more neutral and less distracting appearance. Minor interim updates appear occasionally, usually adding support for new camera models and hardening the software's reliability and speeding its performance. For Windows users, a new option lets you choose whether you want auto selection to happen faster or with more stability. New features still in beta include Live Gaussian Blur, Live Gradients, a new Neural Filter for photo restoration, and Share for Review-another collaboration feature.

Highlights include simpler, more accurate Object Selection One Click Delete and Fill, a new way to remove an object from a scene and integration with Adobe Express. The latest major update, which Adobe calls both Version 24 and Photoshop 2023, brings technology announced at the annual Adobe Max conference in October. More utilitarian tools like cloud-stored files and Pattern Preview have also appeared recently. Updates to Photoshop continue to include features that use Adobe's Sensei imaging AI technology, like mind-blowing Neural Filters, Sky Replacement, Landscape Mixer, and Color Transfer.

Because of its state-of-the-art leadership position and the polish and usability of the software, Photoshop gets a rare five-star rating and is a PCMag Editors' Choice winner among image editing applications. Adobe updates it frequently, adding innovative capabilities and support for new formats. Designers and photographers alike find the most-and the most advanced-tools available for their crafts in this application.

If you need layered image editing, typography, drawing, and a multitude of effects, you need Photoshop. Photoshop started the digital image manipulation revolution more than 30 years ago, and Adobe's groundbreaking application continues to be the best photo editing software money can buy (or rent, to be more precise).
