New features are outlined below for each of Adobe's Creative Cloud software offerings. <h2>Photoshop</h2> Adobe is adding (https://theblog.adobe.com/photoshop-releases-its-largest-set-of-features-since-adobe-max/) a Select Subject Portrait feature to Photoshop, which is an Adobe Sensei-powered feature that's designed to make it simple to select a person in an image and get all the details like hair and clothing with a single click.

Lightroom-style sliders are included, and the Curves UI is now simpler to use. There are improvements to the Crop tool and controls can be stacked vertically to make it easier to find necessary features. There's also a new rotatable pattern feature that lets any pattern applied in Photoshop to be rotated, so the rotation angle of pattern fills, pattern overlays, and pattern strokes can be adjusted. Match Font, a Photoshop feature that identifies fonts found in images, has been updated with support for more fonts, vertical text, and multiple-line detection. Adobe Capture, a feature available for mobile devices, is available on Photoshop for the desktop with the new update. Adobe Capture lets users take any photo or image and pull out patterns, shapes, color themes, and gradients to use in a project.

With Auto Reframe, a video shot horizontally can be reframed in a vertical format while keeping the action in the forefront. Adobe says that Auto Reframe is available to all in the Rush public beta, and will come to all Rush users later in the year. <h2>Adobe Live</h2> Adobe Live is a feature where artists and creatives introduce new techniques and offer up creative challenges.
