Adobe drops quarterly updates, but the MAX one is always the biggest. Worth note, in the Photoshop naming game, (Photoshop (version), then Photoshop (CS), then Photoshop (Extended and standard), to Photoshop CC, to Photoshop CC (year), (Not counting all the spin-offs \u2013 Photoshop LE, Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Mobile, Photoshop Lightroom Mobile and the other siblings). it\u2019s now just called Photoshop 2020, not Photoshop CC 2020. No, that doesn\u2019t mean that it will be going back to perpetual boxes, the subscription is here to stay. This year it\u2019s a big release and there are some great features. Let\u2019s look at them now.<\/p>\n<h3>Photoshop 2020 Superguide<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/photoshop-2020-fix-problems-find-missing-things-update\/\">Trouble Shooting Photoshop 2020<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/warp-an-image-in-photoshop-2020-new-feature-advanced-warping\/\">Advanced Warp (Warping a dinosaur and shadow)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/photoshop-2020-colorizing-photo-gradients-new-preset-panels-features\/\">New Presets panels, (Using gradients to colorize an image)\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/realistic-background-blur-in-photoshop-with-lens-blur\/\">Adding a background blur<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/photoshop-on-the-ipad-quick-start-tutorial-and-combining-photos\/\">Photoshop on iPad<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Presets improvements<\/h2>\n<p>After many years, Photoshop has finally updated the presets. Gradients, patterns, swatches, layer styles and shapes have all received new library content. Don\u2019t worry, if you love that bubble pattern, all the old presets are still available under \u201clegacy\u201d.\u00a0These items have all been moved from the preset manager, to Photoshop Panels. If you remember how brushes and swatches were reorganized into groups, you now have this functionality with the new preset panels. Tip: Cmd\/Ctrl+Click on subfolders to expand\/Collapre them all at once. Gradients are now available as Library items.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36756 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swatches-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swatches-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swatches-1-600x190.jpg 600w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swatches-1-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swatches-1-768x243.jpg 768w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/swatches-1-100x32.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The big feature though is being able to change the presets with a single click.\u00a0 You can drag from the panels into the document to apply. If there is a selection, they will be masked to the selection, otherwise they will appear as adjustment layers. You can also drag them directly into the layers panel. Now you can click on different preset to swap with single click.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/photoshop-2020-colorizing-photo-gradients-new-preset-panels-features\/\"><em><strong>See Tutorial on the new Gradient panel here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36755\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gradient3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gradient3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gradient3-600x224.jpg 600w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gradient3-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/gradient3-100x37.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Admittedly some of the more useful items I was hoping for, such as social media icons and UI elements are missing from the new presets <a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/create-icons-photoshop-cc\/\">(how to make you own)<\/a> , they are an improvement over what we had before. (The 90\u2019s called asking for their presets back).<\/p>\n<h2>Object Selection Tool<\/h2>\n<p>The Object Selection tool is very exciting. It comes in 2 flavors, rectangle and lasso. This amazing tool enables you to drag over and object in a photo or image and then Photoshop magically selects it for you, like Select Subject, but more focused. You could select it with the rectangle and then fine tune with the Lasso option. As always Shift Adds to the selection, while Alt\/Option subtracts. This is like a Magic wand and Magnetic lasso in one, but its powered by Sensei, Adobe\u2019s AI engine. Worth noting, the Select Subject AI has also been updated and works much better now. You can also find Object Selection in Select and mask.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>See full tutorial on Object Selection here<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36750\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"454\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection.jpg 454w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection-100x45.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36751\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"382\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection2.jpg 579w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection2-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/object-selection2-100x134.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Enhanced Transform Warp<\/h2>\n<p>This is one of my favorite new features in Photoshop 2020. It\u2019s now easier than ever to warp the shapes of objects or wrap textures on to them. With a layer active, Choose Edit&gt;Transform&gt;Warp or press Cmd\/Ctrl+T for Free transform and right click and choose warp. Once warp comes up you can choose a grid from the Tool options bar.<\/p>\n<p>The best part is this, if you hold down alt\/Option and drag on the grid, you can split the mesh wherever you wish. This enables you to do custom splits.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36757 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/dino-2-e1572373419100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/dino-2-e1572373419100.jpg 750w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/dino-2-e1572373419100-600x470.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple of fun things I have been playing with the test the warp.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36767\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp.jpg 750w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp-160x120.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36768\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/warp2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As far as warping, it reminds me of working with 3D modelling. With 3D you have points, vertices and surfaces. Same here, you can drag on the surfaces to warp, or select points and drag. You can also choose the Bezier handles once you click a point.<\/p>\n<p>If you hold down Shift, you can select multiple points and move sections together. With multiple selected points you will see a selection box. Move your curser to the edge to see a little arrow. You can use this to pinch or bloat the points.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/warp-an-image-in-photoshop-2020-new-feature-advanced-warping\/\"><em><strong>\u00a0See tutorial on WARP<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Smart Objects to Layers<\/h2>\n<p>This is one we have been waiting a while for. Previously if you wanted to make layers from a Smart Object, you had to open the Smart Object in a new window and then drag the layers back to the main document. A use case is making derivative items, where all the layers are the same on each except for one or 2 things such as numbering bullets.<\/p>\n<p>Now all you need to do is Right Click on the Smart Object and choose Convert to Layers. If there are multiple layers in the Smart Object, they will be converted to a Layer Group.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36758\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/smartobjecttolayer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/smartobjecttolayer.jpg 750w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/smartobjecttolayer-600x374.jpg 600w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/smartobjecttolayer-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/smartobjecttolayer-100x62.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Custom Content Aware Fill<\/h2>\n<p>The last big update of Photoshop added some much needed features in Content Aware Fill. This is the tech that magically fill in area that we select with pixel similar to the surrounding area. I did an in-depth tutorial on that here <a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/content-aware-fill-photoshop-cc-2019-remove-anything-photo\/\">http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/content-aware-fill-photoshop-cc-2019-remove-anything-photo\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>One thing that was missing was an invert button, so that you could start with nothing and paint on the areas to be used in the sample. Adobe went one better.<\/p>\n<p>We now have 3 modes, rectangle, which is the old default, auto which often does a better job that rectangle and now we have Custom. Custom allows you to paint on the image an only the painted areas will be used. As before, you have to access this through the menu Edit&gt;Content Aware Fill<\/p>\n<h2>Consistent Transform<\/h2>\n<p>In the past you scaled something by dragging, and to constrain you held down the Shift key. Then last year a \u201csmall\u201d change to the way we transformed happened. Just like every other program on earth, scaling was constrained (staying in proportion) by default and you now hold down the Shift key to squish or scale non proportionally. Wow, what a huge outcry from the constrain and the non-constrain community. Proof that change doesn\u2019t come easy. Now we have the best of both world with a link at the top tool bar to constrain or not.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing, that link has always been there, but it wasn\u2019t attached to the on screen scaling before. Brilliant! Hidden, but mighty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36759\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/linked.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/linked.jpg 183w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/linked-100x21.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 183px) 100vw, 183px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Super Properties Panel<\/h2>\n<p>The properties panel has undergone an overhaul and has now become your command center. There are 3 areas that have been beefed up with lots of new options. Document Properties, Layer Properties and Text. With these new additions, you can do a lot more without going through other menus or panels. This also makes it possible to work more in full screen mode. Also check out the cool things in Quick actions (press the button for things to happen).<\/p>\n<h4>Document properties<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Canvas: Dynamically change canvas size and orientation by typing in new size<\/li>\n<li>Rulers, Grids + Guides<\/li>\n<li>Quick Actions, Image size and trim are especially useful to me<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Pixel Layers<\/h4>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>The ability to Flip and rotate in a single click is great.<br \/>\nEasy access to Align and distribute are nice, although these are also in the toolbar, but would be otherwise hidden in Full screen mode.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Select subject and remove background are sure to create some buzz.

This time around they have added a Set Focal Point button. If you have a depth map, you can click on the image to focus where you click. You can use the depth map from a portrait mode photo from a mobile camera such as iPhone or Pixel in HEIC\/HEIF format. Or you can create your own depth map.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>See the tutorial here on how to work with depth maps for Blurring background<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36760\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/setfocal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/setfocal.jpg 750w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/setfocal-600x329.jpg 600w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/setfocal-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/setfocal-100x55.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Cloud Docs<\/h2>\n<p>When you choose Save, you now have the open to save your file to your local drive just like you always did, but there is an additional Cloud photo option. This enables you to save images in Creative Cloud for access anywhere. This is entirely up to you, you can choose where you want to save them and set that as the default location and change it anytime you like. Just to clarify, Adobe is not forcing you to save images to the cloud, they are just making that option available if you want it. The big reason this option has been added is the forecoming Photoshop on the iPad. This will be an easy way to share images between iPad and desktop.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36761\" src=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/clouddocs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/clouddocs.jpg 750w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/clouddocs-600x434.jpg 600w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/clouddocs-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/clouddocs-100x72.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Import from iPad or iPhone<\/h2>\n<p>This feature is only on the Mac, but you can import an image directly from and iPhone or iPad.

They are the little common sense tweaks that make everyday tasks easier. Here is the line up for Photoshop 2020.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you are painting with a brush, Hold Tilde key (squiggly thing under the escape key) to switch to erase<\/li>\n<li>Keyboard shortcut to rotate brush. YAY! Use arrow keys to rotate the brush. Holding down Shift rotates by 15 degrees each time. Double click tool bar to reset<\/li>\n<li>Right click on the document tab and choose Close others to close all the Windows except the one you are currently working in. Or use Ctrl+Alt+P<\/li>\n<li>Zoom to layer Content: Hold Alt\/Option key and single click thumbnail in the layers panel. Photoshop zooms to fill the screen with that layer.<\/li>\n<li>When you save an animated gif it now supports all frames instead of reducing it to a single image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
