Additional notable new features and workflow improvements in today's releases, per Adobe:
- Lightroom Ecosystem: New Premium Presets, collaborative editing capabilities, Super Resolution in Lightroom and Lightroom Classic (previously available in Adobe Camera Raw), and custom crop aspect ratios in Lightroom
- Powerful new retouching features in Photoshop Express, including skin smoothing, content aware healing, face aware liquify and caricature
- Custom brushes in Photoshop on iPad
- Rotate View in Illustrator on desktop
- New styling tools in Adobe XD: Inner Shadow, Outline Stroke, and Angular Gradient
Premiere Pro with native support for the M1 chip remains in beta, with a public release coming soon, according to Adobe.
