If you're a fan of Adobe's creative apps like Photoshop and Lightroom, new software updates have brought some pretty great features that could make your editing life easier. While some of these improvements are tweaks that are primarily designed to help smooth out your workflow, others are more significant and point to an AI-powered future that reflects the advances in computer photography made by smartphones rather than Listing all the Photoshop and Lightroom updates, we have selected the five most interesting for photo editors and designers. These include big changes to Camera Raw, which is the raw file editing software that comes with Photoshop, and improved subject selection functionality that seems to handle hair much better than most smartphone portrait modes. . But first, a feature that Apple iPad-owning photo editors claim…
1. Lightroom and Photoshop iPad integration
A curious frustration of being a Creative Cloud subscriber and owner of the Apple iPad is that you can't send the images you're working on directly to Photoshop (and vice versa). (Image credit: Adobe) Well, Adobe has finally fixed that with a new "Edit in Photoshop" option in the Lightroom app, which you'll now find in the Share menu. You'll also find a similar ``Send to Lightroom'' button in the Photoshop app, which makes sharing much easier, which is second nature to photo editors on desktop software.
2. Best selection of subjects.
Here's a big time saver for the designers among you: Adobe has included a pretty significant update to the theme selection control in their new Photoshop update.

The update is apparently based on Adobe's machine learning-based AI Sensei, which brings two main changes. First of all, this means that the command is now content sensitive, so it applies new algorithms if it detects a person in the scene. As you can see above, it is now much better at handling hair, which is one of the most difficult and time consuming subjects to hide by hand. While it may still require some manual tweaking, the update certainly seems to give you a much better starting point than the previous version of the tool.
3. Camera Raw review
A subtle but significant improvement for photographers comes in the form of a new interface for Adobe Camera Raw, which is the tool that manages raw files when you import them from your camera.

(Image credit: Adobe) The user interface looks more like Lightroom and is generally a bit less cluttered, with the "filmstrip" preview in particular getting a host of new options. These include simpler options to batch edit photos with the same settings, as well as the ability to hide details like the file name, so you can see previews more clearly. There's also a new, simplified crop tool, including new overlays to help you decide how best to perfect your composition, while all the tools that were previously at the top of the screen are now on the right-hand side of the screen. edit controls, where they belong.
4. Share your Lightroom changes
Last year Adobe integrated interactive tutorials into Lightroom - the idea was that instead of searching YouTube videos to edit responses, you could get advice from a growing list of educators in areas like that of landscapes or food photography.

(Image credit: Adobe) Although this library is growing, it may not answer the very specific question you have about a darker editing technique you want to add to your Lightroom arsenal. Starting with this new version, Adobe allows everyone to share modifications in the "Lightroom Discover" section. This means you should now be able to ``follow'' some of your favorite snappers and be alerted to new changes as they share them, instead of waiting for something suitable from Adobe's handpicked quota of tutors. We think this feature has a lot of potential, especially in these days of extremely distant learning.
5. Knowledge police
Photoshop's font matching tool has been around since 2015, but now it's gotten a big boost as part of Adobe's June update. If you don't know, the tool allows you to use Photoshop to automatically identify particular fonts in your photos, whether it's on a panel or on the side of a car; then you can download a matching font from Adobe Fonts.

(Image credit: Adobe) The new update means that Match Fonts now supports even more fonts and can now recognize both vertical text and multiple lines of text. To use the tool, select the Marquee Tool, then go to Type followed by Match Font; It's certainly much faster than trying to guess by eye by scrolling through the Squirrel fonts.
