UPDATES
PUBLIC BETA UPDATES TODAY
The desktop Photoshop (Beta) build is being delivered by Creative Cloud Desktop. If you don’t see it in your Beta
apps section, please try Help > Check for Updates.
THE REMOVE TOOL
You can now ADD or SUBTRACT from your selection
To utilize addition (+) and subtraction (–) modes, uncheck the Remove after each stroke option in the Tool Options Bar so that you are in multiple stroke mode.
• Make a brush stroke to identify an area for removal.
• Click on the subtraction mode (–) button in the tool options bar to change the tool mode.
• Brush again on the image to subtract some parts from the highlighted area.
• Continue to switch between (+) and (–) modes as necessary and brush to refine the area(s) to be removed.
• When you’re finished refining, press the Apply checkmark or hit the enter key to initiate the removal of all items that are in highlighted area(s).
Note that the Option key (Mac) or Alt key (Windows) may be used as a keyboard shortcut to quickly and temporarily change between (+) and (–) modes.
NEW TOOLS FOUND
If you use a Customized Toolbar you did not see any new tools added into your Toolbar by default (e.g., recently the Remove Tool, the Object Selection Tool, etc.).
With this BETA update If you have a custom toolbar and “new” tools are in the Extra Tools, then you’ll see the following dialog.
Now Photoshop will detect new tools on launch and will present this dialog giving the option to place these tools to their preferred location, which can be decided based on:
Option 1 – By placing all new tools in a new toolbar group and keep the rest of the custom toolbar intact.
Option 2 – By placing all new tools in their default position and restoring the toolbar to the default setting.
Option 3 – By keeping them in Extra Tools only and user can arrange them later.
Generative Fill
AI engine is returning 4 Options instead of 3
GREYSCALE and CMYK with GEN FILL
Added ability for to use Generative Fill and Generative Expand on images in CMYK, Lab, and Grayscale* modes, as well as using your document’s color profile.
* Please note that Grayscale support is still in development.
Content Authenticity Initiative
There is language added in existing areas where CAI (content Authenticity Initiative) is leveraged to remind users that content credentials will be added when using generative technology.
The Content Authenticity Verify website has also been updated to support this change – just drag a JPG/PNG to see this updated information:
