Photoshop 2022: 9 New Features with Pros & Cons!

2021 has been a year of AI, and with Photoshop 2022, Adobe has released many features that use machine learning, powered by Adobe Sensei, and claim to make most things automatic. In this video, we will explore what these new features are and whether they are actually effective or end up becoming as useful as pedals on a wheelchair.

In this video, we will take an in-depth look at what Photoshop version 23.0.0 has to offer and go through almost all new features and updates. Right from Harmonization for matching composites, to Landscape Mixer to create a landscape cocktail, we will cover it all.

I hope you enjoy this video. Thank you for watching :)

► CORRECTION: The Harmonization Filter can be applied non-destructively as a Smart Filter by choosing the "Output, " next to the "OK" button, as "Smart Filter." In other words, simply click on the drop-down menu next to the "Output" and choose "Smart Filter."

Between Colorize and the Hover selection tools are amazing. I would like hair selection to improve.

This is a totally irrelevant comment, but one I can't keep from making. I've literally watched this guy grow up on YouTube. What great tutorials he's presented and to come back to his channel and see that he's still at it after all these years is pretty cool.

This landscape mixer tool is mind blowing. I can't wait to see it improved!

[LaviDzine]

As it matures the Adobe line is outstanding, the one single thing for me is Hair selection - they could do with concentrating on improving the automation in this field.

The reason house looks different after mixing is because the photoshop thinks it might have been renovated during the season change. 😏 It's that smart.

My jaw dropped when I saw the new illustrator file in layers. Finally! Complete game changer 🙌

[gappo]

You are by far the best photoshop teacher on YouTube.

Man that interoperability with illustrator is god now way much better

Unmesh, thanks for this great instant review of the latest Ps. I was hoping you'll review our Depth Blur one more time, we REALLY worked hard to make it better after your review a couple of months ago. Give it a try! (Alexandru from Adobe)

I'd like to see some improvments and additional effects, such as realistic glow, automatic reflections, displacement based on layers, and a much better hair selection tool.

[dsigetich]

You have taught me an immense amount, Unmesh, and I love your enthusiasm! I'm viewing many of your YouTube videos -- really liked the new Photoshop features. Please stop saying "Without any further ado..." You aren't making any "ado." Please keep introducing your videos and then just say "So, let's get started."

The Illustrator layers are my favorite new feature, it's gonna save a lot of time and make the project even less destructive. I'm really impressed by the AI selection improvements but I still think there's a lot of room for making hair and clothing selections better.

[umastrategic]

As a Ai professional that occasionally uses PS this changes are a game changer specially the composite color harmonizing. Thank you for you great content you produce.

1. ZOOM/SPIN Filter UI with LIVE PROJECT PREVIEW
2. DISPLACEMENT Filter UI with LIVE PROJECT PREVIEW
3. LENS FLARE Filter UI with LIVE PROJECT PREVIEW
4. More intuitive PAINT BRUSHES (or better explained)
5. Extra Filters or Plug-Ins that can produce Abstract effects NOT JUST LUT related

Welcome to Adobe Photoshop 2022.
Love from bangladesh.

[revilocreations]

My favorite new feature is the “interoperability with Illustrator” it’s the best thing I never knew I need it❤️

The “Landscape mixer” needs some major work. Like why was it showing a different mountain and houses😩😭

I wonder if the “share for commenting” feature works for when I need my client to proof the artwork (without downloading), if so, then that's 🔥 definitely would be my most used new feature.

What an awesome summary of the key features! Simple, precise and informative! Thanks Unmesh!
