ADOBE BRINGS ACR'S POWERFUL NON-DESTRUCTIVE EXPOSURE TOOLS INTO PHOTOSHOP ITSELF

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Adobe has released a major Photoshop update focused on making image editing faster and more intuitive, with new features including a Light Adjustment Layer that brings Camera Raw-style lighting controls directly into Photoshop, Firefly-powered editing tools that can automatically mask and modify specific parts of an image from text instructions, and AI Markup tools for visually communicating edit requests. The update also introduces a beta AI-Assisted Editor, allowing users to make complex edits through natural-language prompts while Photoshop automatically selects and combines the appropriate tools. Adobe says the goal is to let creators spend less time navigating software and more time focusing on creative decisions.
