Adobe Updates Photoshop for iPad With 'Select Subject' Feature and Cloud Documents Speed Enhancements
Posted December 16, 2019 at 3:20pm by iClarified
Adobe has updated Photoshop for iPad with its 'Select Subject' feature, Cloud Documents speed enhancements, and more.
Select Subject uses the Adobe Sensei AI machine learning technology to enable you to automatically select the subject of an image to speed up complex selections. This feature on the iPad works exactly the same as on Photoshop on the desktop and produces the same results, vastly enhancing selection capabilities and speed available on the iPad.
Select Subject was released in Photoshop on the desktop in 2018. The 2019 version now runs on both the desktop and the iPad and produces cleaner selection edges on the mask and delivers massively faster performance (almost instantaneous), even on the iPad.
Adobe says that one of its top priorities for next year is to make Select Subject work even better on very tricky subjects like hair and fur, plus to expand and improve the results on ever more complex images. Future improvements to Select Subject will roll out on both the desktop and iPad.
Other improvements in today's update include :
Cloud documents
Last week we began rolling out major performance improvements to the upload and download experience of cloud documents. The enhancements are already live for PSDs of 75mb and larger. Speed improvements for smaller files will ship next. Depending on the size of your file and your network performance, you can see up to 90% faster uploads and downloads with these updates.
User Interface Polish
While we are working on the big things, we are also taking in and responding to feedback from customers and polishing workflows and experiences across the application. These are often small things that have a big impact on your experience. Today we shipped a host of improvements to the user interface to make it more consistent and easier to use, along with some key usability improvements related to layer and layer adjustment controls and text entry.
You can download Adobe Photoshop from the App Store.
