21 Powerful New Features In Photoshop 2021

Adobe has released the newest version of Photoshop CC (version 22.0.0) that comes with exciting new AI features for artists, designers, and photographers. The Smart Portrait Neural Filter lets you control facial expressions of the subject in the photograph. You can even change their head direction, light direction, gaze, and hair thickness.

The Colorize Neural Filter can turn any black-and-white photo into a colored photo. The Pattern Preview feature gives you a real-time infinite preview of the pattern that you’re creating, thus allowing you to create seamless patterns.

Live Shapes are now more enhanced and you can modify them even after rotating. You can also reset Smart Objects to their original form no matter how much you’ve transformed them.
