Today is Photoshop's 30th birthday! For 10,950 days, artists, designers, photographers and many others have inspired the world with their imaginations using the practical magic of Photoshop.

Share the love with #PsILoveYou30

On this milestone day we celebrate the evolution that brought us here, from the first use of Photoshop (before Photoshop 1.0) to create visual effects for James Cameron's movie, The Abyss … to the invention of the healing brush in Photoshop CS2 … to the wizardry of Content-Aware Fill … and all the amazing innovation in between. In 2016 we introduced Sensei AI and machine learning magic, resulting in many even more fantastic features including Select Subject, with of course much more to come. In 2019, Photoshop won an Academy Award, and we expanded it to new devices like the iPad.

We honor our long-standing collaboration of artists and engineers, where working together and with your feedback and inspiration we have built a tool that enables you to make the world a more beautiful place.

In celebration of this birthday, today we also release many great new features in both versions of Photoshop – on the desktop and on the iPad. Happy birthday, Photoshop! We will keep the magic rolling.

Content-Aware Fill Workspace Improvements

Now you can make multiple selections and apply multiple fills without leaving the workspace. Use the new 'apply' button to iterate your fills before committing. Click 'OK' only when you are finished. In this release we've addressed a big customer request to sample all layers in the CAF workspace. These workflow enhancements are designed to reduce clicks, give you more control, and speed you to great results.

The most magical secrets of how Content-Aware Fill works are locked in a vault deep inside Adobe so I can't tell you a lot about that. But I talked with the research scientists behind the feature to understand their approach to what we added today. A few releases ago we packaged all the CAF capabilities into a workspace. Since then we've worked closely with customers to further improve it, using customer-supplied images to ensure we solve your real-world problems. One of your top requests was to stay in the workspace to refine fills that need multiple CAF iterations – imagine removing something from behind many tree branches, or other tricky scenes with visual diversity. To do that, we now enable you to break the fill region into sub-parts to give you more iterative control to achieve a more realistic fill.

Lens Blur improvements

Pro

We've improved the output quality and performance of Lens Blur and put it on the GPU. This significantly improves the overall realism, including the sharpness and edges when using Lens Blur to synthetically blur the foreground, background or even the middle of an image.

The feature also now delivers more colorful bokeh via the specular highlights. This produces more realistic and pleasing results.

It's a little boggling to me how we can add such realistic blur to a 2D image after capture. So I talked with one of our research scientists to get an idea of how the new and improved, GPU-driven Lens Blur works. The results are created by an algorithm the team built by studying the first principles of physics and how light interacts with objects in the real world. It is carefully tuned to simulate a 3D environment to create the most realistic results possible, while also consuming the least amount of compute power so you don't burn up your machine. Lots of research and iteration occurred to make the feature. Several PhDs were involved. And now you can synthetically adjust the depth of field by dynamically manipulating the blur of a 2D image after capture in milliseconds.

Mac OS Dark UI support

Dark UI has been one of the more popular features of the Catalina Mac OS. Photoshop now supports the new dark mode. System dialogs like File>Open and File>Save now match the settings of your Mac OS.

If you have dark UI enabled, system dialogs will also be dark.

Performance improvements

You'll discover some key performance improvements with a more buttery and seamless mousing experience. Clicking interactions like panning and zooming will feel smoother and more responsive. You'll notice the biggest boosts on larger documents and when using the hand tool to zip around the canvas.

If you want to geek out, for stylus customers on Windows, you no longer need to use WinTab (you know who you are).

We promised you a continuous stream of new features in the iPad version of Photoshop and today we release a fresh batch.

This is a major release for Photoshop on the iPad. With the addition of the Object Selection tool, selections on the iPad takes a huge leap forward beyond anything available in any other apps on the device before today. Check out the video above by our own Russell Preston Brown that shows the power of this new feature. And, give it a try!

Photoshop on the iPad is built using the same code base as Photoshop on the desktop. As you can see from the multiple releases we've delivered since we shipped the first version just three months ago, we are able to add new features with deep and rich capabilities and high quality output that matches that of the desktop very quickly. We are shipping these new capabilities as soon as the user experience has been adapted to the iPad and reimagined to take advantage of touch and mobility.

Object Selection tool

This feature was just released in Photoshop on the desktop at MAX 2019, three months ago. On the iPad we give you the same functions, with the same options and settings.

We're hearing from customers that Photoshop on the iPad 'helps them get closer to the pixels.' This feature is a great example of that, where the experience really shines in a touch environment when using the Apple Pencil. I encourage you to try it out.

Here's a primer on how the new Object Selection tool relates to the Select Subject tool (which was released on the iPad in December). Both features are now in Photoshop on desktop and iPad. Both use Sensei AI and machine learning to automatically make a great selection. They each radically reduce the steps to results and each is tuned for common, but different use cases.

Select Subject finds and selects the main subject in your image with one click with no input or guidance from you. This is best used when you have one primary object you want to quickly isolate.

The Object Selection tool is designed to give you speed, but also more control over the selection process on more complex images. For example, it is the right tool if you have images with multiple objects, or when selecting a part of an object, or if you want this part but not that part, or need to isolate more than one object in an image. With the Object Selection tool, you draw a rectangular region or even a crude lasso around the area you want to select, and the tool automatically finds and selects the primary objects inside the defined region. This is demonstrated in the video at the top of the iPad section, where we have a selection that requires getting this part but not that part of the oranges.

Here's another example using a fairly complex scene and background.

I drew a rough lasso around the woman. You can see how the marching ants snapped to her outline.

Instashare 1 4 3 – drag and drop file transfer. By pressing 'F' on the keyboard, I can scroll through different views of the selection to ensure I have what I want. For this image, the red background works best.

I then circled the man's glasses to add those to the selection with one quick stroke using the Lasso tool, and then added the guitar … you get the idea. It was super easy and I had what I wanted in just a few seconds.

Lens Blur For Mac

If you're looking for maximum creative control over your photos including adding, removing or changing any part of the image, Photoshop is the industry standard for designers and photographers alike. Its built-in features can keep you busy and creative for the rest of your life, or at least till the next version is released… :) But for those things it doesn't do, or actions and effects that can seem overly complex, there's a whole world of plugins available. Some address key practical features like sharpening or erasing objects. Others focus on creative effects, allowing you to quickly change the look and feel of your photos and/or develop a unique style. Whatever fix or effect you're looking for, using plugins – especially premium plugins – can revolutionize your workflow. Here are some of our favorites.

Portrait Retouching

Retouching is something every serious portrait photographer ends up doing a fair amount of, and using Photoshop alone can be a bit long and arduous, even with a good set of custom actions. That's where the following plugins can help.

1. Portraiture

Portraiture focuses on getting perfect skin texture without losing any detail. No need for complex masking or even the healing brush. Portraiture's presets automatically smooth the skin, while removing blemishes and maintaining both texture and detail. In fact, the default settings and presets are so good that you may not find much else to change. (Just stay away from the 'Smoothing: High' setting, unless you're looking for a mall-brand, doll-like image.) The user interface is pretty sleek and approachable, yet hides a lot of power under the surface. The price is a bit high, but if you shoot a lot of portraits and need professional results, it's well worth the investment.

Price: $199.95

2. PortraitPro

Looking for more than just skin softening? PortraitPro does everything you can imagine, from applying realistic digital makeup to face-sculpting. PortraitPro is especially amazing If you're one of those retouchers who likes to sculpt the face, as it immediately outlines facial elements upon import, then allows you to drag the lines of the eyebrows, lips, nose, and eyes anywhere you like. It also knows just how to lighten and smooth eye bags, smooth out crow's feet, detect pores, and its sliders isolate just about every detail on the face, so you have ultimate control. It's won a number of awards over the years and is far cheaper than Portraiture. It also comes with a free trial.Price: $39.95 at time of writing (normal price is $79.90)

Removing Unwanted Objects/Backgrounds

While Photoshop's healing brush and clone stamp do an amazing job of deleting unwanted objects and backgrounds, there are a few plugins out there that can make the job much easier.

3. Fluid Mask 3

Fluid Mask is an amazing little plugin that makes backgrounds disappear like magic. Fog, strands of hair, or other fragile or fading elements? Never fear. Fluid Mask's ability to handle near-transparent objects is nothing short of amazing. You know the time it takes to create an in-depth selection? Fluid Mask can literally cut it out in a matter of minutes! If you're a photo-compositor, graphic designer, or love to make memes, this little plugin will literally save you hours of time.Price: $99

4. Snapheal

Snapheal, by Skylum software, focuses on the quick removal of elements like traffic signs, powerlines, bystanders, road damage—whatever you might want to make disappear. It doesn't have the finesse of Fluid Mask, and you'll still have to manually cut out elements that lie on a tricky background, but for simple things, Snapheal is does a great job. It's also fairly inexpensive. (Mac only)Price: $49.99

Anamorphic Pro 2 2 – Professional Lens Blur Tool Photoshop Brushes

Working with Color and Contrast

Color and contrast are two of the main elements that will make or break the quality of your photos, and learning how to adjust them perfectly in Photoshop can take years to learn. Using the following plugins, however, takes far less time and often produces stunning results.

5. Color Efex Pro

Color Efex Pro, part of the Nik Tools Suite, has long been the professional photographer's mainstay for color effects. The filters run the gamut from portrait and landscape to creative, and are not only stackable, but allow you to apply different ones to different areas of the photo all at once. If you're a landscape photographer, their tonal contrast filter is worth the package alone. (I've not seen any filter come close to what Color Efex's Tonal Contrast can do.) Their detail extractor is also the best I've seen on the market today. But these are just two of many, and you can have them all out for free ever since Google bought Nik Filters. And now that DxO has bought them from Google, there's an update scheduled for 2018. Woot!Price: Free!

6. Topaz Adjust

Topaz Adjust is another industry-standard plugin that's been around for years. The filters, though similar to Color Efex Pro, yield fairly different results. Most photographers will prefer one over the other, but those who love Topaz say that it pretty much 'reads your mind' about what you're looking for. And if you like quick, nice-sized previews, Topaz doesn't waste your time churning away. You get to see what your image will look like almost immediately. The user interface is considerably different than Color Efex Pro, so you'll need to play around with it and see what you think. But if you're like many photographers, you'll probably find filters you can't live without.Price: $39.99

7. Intensify

Intensify is a newer Photoshop plugin and definitely packs a punch. It comes with far more presets than Color Efex Pro or Topaz Adjust and offers layer options and masking as well. The user interface is simple and intuitive, and there's next to no learning curve. You can either work from a single-slider global adjustment in 'filter' mode or make more detailed adjustments (i.e. exposure, structure, sharpness, etc.) in their adjustment panel. So, if you're a presets lover and/or want something that's super easy to learn—this little plugin will make your day. (Mac only)Price: $69.99

Noise Reduction

Unless you're always shooting in bright conditions, a time will come when you end up with some noise in your photos. While you can remove noise in Photoshop, there are a number of plugins that do the job much more quickly and efficiently and, in most cases, with far better results.

8. Dfine

Another plugin from the Nik Collection, Dfine is much easier to use than Photoshop, especially when you want to adjust the contrast and reduce color noise separately. Noise reduction is applied only to noise elements in the image, and you can use Nik's trademark control points to selectively control what the filter affects without using masks. And, like all the Nik filters, it's free.Price: Free!

9. Noiseless

Skylum designs all its software to be incredibly easy to use and Noiseless is no exception. The plugin uses a smart algorithm to identify noise and automatically removes it. Then, it runs a second algorithm to add back the detail back in. You can either sit back and let the presets do the work or refine and fine-tune with their adjustments panel. The settings range from 'Lightest' to 'Extreme,' but if you're going for a more realistic look, stick to the lower settings. They're much subtler, and in my opinion, much more effective. And as Noiseless doesn't have any masking options, make sure you open a duplicate layer in Photoshop before applying. (Mac only)Price: $70

Light Effects

If you're someone who likes to add effects to your images, you'll definitely want to take these two light plugins for a spin. They both create some amazing results.

10. Glow In Studio

Another plugin from the Topaz suite, Glow in Studio offers everything from eye-popping brilliance to subtle, ethereal light.While the 'Glow' adjustment is unique in itself, the HSL Color Tuning gives you almost superhuman control over your image's hues, saturation, and luminance. A great option for intense, creative design—especially if you like to push the limits of what your images can do.Price: $69.97

11. Light

If you like playing with light and shadow but can't always get the lighting you want in-camera, Dtf's Light plugin might be for you. Light allows you to add shadow patterns into any image using the gobos of Gamproducts and Rosco. (A gobo is a stencil or template placed in front of a light source to control the shape of the projected light.) You can project everything from window frames to leaf patterns, or make your own template. Nik collection 2 by dxo 2 5 0 1. The final lighting effects look as if they were shot in-session. Other effects include fog, diffusion, fill light, and glow effects. It comes with a layering system so you can use multiple effects selectively.Price: $50

Artistic Effects

Color effects not enough for you? Never fear—the plugins below offer many, many more options.

12. Filter Forge 7

Filter Forge comes with access to over 12,000 ready-made textures and effects. It works with both still images and motion pictures, and their advanced versions let you create your own filters, without any knowledge of programming or coding. While this might not seem so spectacular if you're not designing your own content, artists creating new images—especially those working in 3D—will find Filter Forge absolutely essential.Price: The basic edition starts at $149

13. ON1 Effects

Though On1's Effects 10 has fewer filters than Filter Forge, it will probably be more than enough for folks who don't need to create their own. In fact, for many the number of filters can be somewhat overwhelming. Luckily the basic presets are of high enough quality that they'll probably keep you satisfied until you feel like branching out to the others. The software comes complete with local adjustments, blending modes, and masking. You can even apply a filter to just highlights and shadows. Honestly, this plugin offers so many options, it's best to start slow. (If you're a landscape photographer, try the Magic Ocean preset!)Price: Effects 10.5 is currently free. Their 2018 version is $119.99

14. FX Photo Studio

If you're a Mac user looking for creative effects, you'll definitely want to give Skylum's FX Photo Studio a spin. It has a beautiful and intuitive interface, plenty of filters to choose from, and a smart brush that allows you to apply the effect selectively, without using masks. While it only has basic image editing options, this won't affect plugin users much. Simply apply the effect to a duplicate image layer in Photoshop and edit away. (Mac only.)Price: $39.99

HDR

While Photoshop's HDR option will combine your images for you, most HDR photographers find it seriously lacking in usability. And while many turn to stand-alone programs, that can really create more hassle if much of your workflow is already in Photoshop. The solution? Plugins.

15. Aurora HDR

Truly one of the best HDR options out there (both as a standalone program and as a plugin). Aurora allows for advanced (yet easy) HDR editing that can be anywhere from truly natural-looking to the wild and extreme. Most HDR editing programs don't allow you to easily end up with a natural-looking photo, but Aurora really shines here. Comes with layering, multiple blend modes, amazing presets, and even lens correction. If you're a serious HDR photographer, do yourself a favor and give Aurora a try.Price: $99

16. HDR Efex Pro

If Aurora's not your thing (or you're looking for something free), Nik's HDR Efex Pro does a decent job of processing HDR photos. Most of the presets look clearly 'HDR-ed,' so if you're looking for a realistic-looking image, stick to the default or the Balanced preset. If you like the HDR look, then the presets will work fine for you. Either way, the default settings still look far better than what Photoshop and Lightroom offer for HDR (check out our post on Lightroom vs Photoshop here). The plugin also works in Lightroom, so an easy workflow is to do your lens corrections in Lightroom, then export to HDR Efex Pro.Price: Free!

Lens Effects

Sometimes we just don't have the camera gear to get the depth of field (or other lens effects) we're looking for. The plugins below can save a lot of hand-numbing work.

17. Topaz Lens Effects

Tuned to many of the more popular lenses out there, Topaz Lens Effects makes incredible bokeh, tilt-shift effects, motion blur, vignettes, polarization, and just about any other effect you can get out of a lens. As far as the effects are concerned, they vary from the subtle to the extreme. The most helpful ones will be for photographers who need filters that are simply too expensive to buy. Or, if you're working with a slower lens/cheaper camera and need selective focusing, being able to choose the bokeh effect can allow you to precisely mimic a faster lens.Price: $79.99

18. Focus

If you're looking for creative lens effects and like experimenting, try Skylum's Focus plugin. It comes with both radial and linear motion blur controls, a 'twirl' control, lens blur, and selective focus effects. (Mac only.)Price: $59.99

Enlargement

Enlarging photos without losing sharpness is definitely an art. These two plugins make it easy. Money pro 2 4.

19. Blow Up 2

This easy-to-use plugin far outpaces Photoshop's native options, especially where large art-quality prints are being made. Comes with a large library of standard paper sizes and Lightroom and CMYK support. For printing out images that just don't have the resolution, this plugin will definitely make your life a lot easier.Price: $99 on its own, or $199 as part of the Exposure X3 Bundle

20. Resize

Resize is different from Blow Up 2 in that it uses a fractal-based algorithm to resize your images. Some people notice a distinct difference and others don't. One feature that sets it apart, though is its tiling feature that allows you to divide your photos into diptychs, triptychs, or mosaics—something super useful if you're into creative art installations. It also has a 'gallery wrap feature' that creates extended margins so you don't lose any part of your photo when printing to canvas. (This seriously takes the guesswork out of sizing canvas prints!)Price: $59.99 at the time of this postTChoosing between Resize and Blow Up can be challenging—they both do pretty much the same thing. It'll probably come down to what user interface works best for you, whether you're already using other software from these two companies, and in the end, price.
