Thanks for the presentation, Unmesh. I like the idea of the new brush. I'm curious about the upcoming developments for that new tool. Photoshop wasn't perfect in the beginning either, but look at what it has become. Your arguments can be important for the further updates of the brush. Perhaps Adobe Corp is watching your channel? There is no one better to demonstrate the power and reach of using Photoshop than you, Unmesh.
This is amazing! Thank you! Going to start using this with work right away! I Enjoy painting more than using selections tools, I know I'm crazy lol but this tool was made for people like me.
Great video, as always! You showed, that everything can be done in a thousand different ways in Photoshop. For me it replaces the need to burn/dodge on a separate layer with a white and black brush. In this case (it is actually the first example you show) it is a quick help. And besides there is something else that is important in this development of Photoshop: The App - while being mighty as nothing else! - is a dinosaur. It is highly welcome that Adobe thinks of better, faster, easier ways to achieve common image editing.
For proper projects, I agree this tool doesn't really add anything. But for the super fast stuff, like a live mock up as you're explaining to someone what you will do, or a quick meme for the group chat, saving those seconds can be very useful.
nice review. It would be interesting to have same edge detection than in camera raw. By the way, doesn't this way of working mean Adobe wants to implement camera raw features in PS ?
I always start in ACR and often want to use some of the easy to use features in PS so might switch back. Would be good to get a bit more of a crossover
This is very similar to the adjustment brush in Lr - but I believe Lr's adjustment brush provides more options. I tend to make slight adjustments to my images in Lr before bringing them into Ps for Freq Separation. Those adjustment brush layers in Lr really give me the flexibility to be very specific with what, where, and how much I want a particular adjustment to be. Cheers.
That's interesting. If you use a 'proper' camera to take landscapes, like at 2:51 then you often expose for the brighter area - usually the sky. This brush might speed up the selection to balance exposure between sky & land but you can work around it with masking if you have an older version. Shame there's no Curves option in the new brush.
Hey Unmesh! Great video, as always. Hoping you'll take a minute to answer an unrelated question: in one of your other videos, you stacked exact copies of one layer as new layers, and this changed - I'm thinking, intensified - the image ... maybe the saturation or vibrance? I'm confused about that. In my head, all that should do is hide all of the layers below ... unless you we're using a different blend mode? Would you, kindly, explain that technique?
there is a similar tool in snapseed for years and i use that all the time, where a brush can adjust dodge and burn levels, saturation, exposure. this is a good tool
Hmm, this is an interesting tool. There have always been multiple ways to do a lot of functions and effects, but I'm with you, I'm not sure if this is faster or more efficient than the alternatives. I'm looking forward to playing with this a bit myself. Thanks for the heads up.
Respect: well done for calling this out Unmesh. We know you're both an Adobe fanboy and talented retoucher, but frankly this tool is a bit unnecessary and just confusing 'bloat' in an already feature-rich product. Are inexperienced users really likely to be jumping into a tool with integrated adjustment masks? Who is this helping?
As is often in Photoshop, there is more than one way to do the same thing ie. curves, masks, adjustment brushes. It comes down to your preference and which is faster or more effective.
Thank you for sharing and for NOT being a total Adobe shill!!!! Seems like an interesting tool, but it would not teach you to use a more robust workflow. I also liked your text effects and video transitions.
You only used examples that would be selecting an area to change. I found it very useful because I work with photo adjustments to transform them into textures, so it requires a lot of use of soft brushes to adjust lighter or darker areas, correct colors etc to neutralize the image to be used as a seamless texture in a video game.
I remember the days before I discovered masking, when I would have just used dodge and burn on the original image. If this tool had been around when I started, it would have been an ideal introduction to masks. So, maybe not useful for the experienced photoshopper, but a good one for a beginner. Having said that, I can see myself grabbing it for a quick tweak on a small item.
I wonder if this is a portent of things to come. Maybe a later version of this one brush/layer combination will allow all Lightroom/Camera Raw functionality directly inside Photoshop. Although I regularly use Photoshop, I'm far more familiar with Lightroom, but don't use many of Lightroom's organisational functions ... this could work for me.
wow , it looks like the beta adjustment brush tool might be the solution I am looking for if they a focus blur Adjustment (already bought iOS EZ Blur as a quick alternative when on to go). But still I can't afford the monthly or yearly sub (and I use GIMP2 to get by, but excited for GIMP3 almost releasing).
Hi PixImperfect, I believe this makes masking more accessible. To this day I see people overutilize the eraser tool and handle their documents in a destructive way. Masking adjustment layers isn't very clear and the type of brush you want to use on layer masks are usually different. This results in a feeling of burdenedness as many don't want to constantly reset their foreground/background colors, or remember to select the layer mask, keep multiple versions of the mask, etc. everytime they use mask workflows. Can the adjustment mask tool be used to edit any type of layer mask? Thank you
Thank you for your assessment of the new tool. Adobe meant it nicely, but didn't implement it well. In addition to the curves, there is no edge detection, so it would be really helpful, especially for beginners. However, you can currently achieve your goal more precisely and hardly any slower in Camera RAW.
It's in Beta and still being refined in development. Curves is coming! Also, if Unmesh had the Contextual Task Bar in view, you would have seen the Select Subject button.
@@chadrolfs3983 Thanks a lot for your answer. So one can hope that it will become more functional with future updates. True, there is subject detection, but direct edge detection, even beyond the main subject, would be practical. Let's be surprised how the tool is further developed.
Ah, you see, I'm a freelance navigator of the open seas, a connoisseur of treasure hunting, and a master of acquiring the unacquirable. Some might say I'm a bit of a rogue adventurer, perpetually in pursuit of fortune, freedom and free photoshop lessons.
Please sir can you start video on illustrator in depth like Photoshop because back in 2019 when I don't have any idea of Photoshop and i started watching you and currently i have good knowledge about Photoshop. And i know your good teacher for me and others too so please start illustrator please and other adobe tools also... Thank You Sir...❤
Wow! I own the subscription but my PS Beta say it's v25.12 and it was updated 2 days ago. I do not have this new Adjustment Brush. Did they take it away?
The idea for this is taken from Procreate. Users of which will find it handy since it fits in their workflow. Adobe copied some features from Procreate in the iPad version of Photoshop
I've been wondering for a long time if we had a null layer and pickwhip in PS (Yes, Same as After Effects). which would hold information that we can assign to multiple different elements. So for example, you've created a website mockup and used a null layer to control colors of shapes, texts, etc. This way we don't have to have them in the same group which sometimes limits what else we can do with it. Also we can have multiple Control null layers at the top which we can use to change parameters much much faster. Just having a pickwhip, we can connect all the shapes to a master shape and control roundness, color, etc. Or a Master Text layer, which can control font, size, etc. Possibility will be endless.
Please, I want you to make a video about photo manipulation in Photoshop. I want it to be a photo manipulation lesson in which each step of the manipulation is explained, and for it to be a comprehensive lesson with solid information and ways to solve the complexities of photo manipulation. Thank you.
You can simply use a regular brush, press Q to enter Quick Mask, paint, Q to exit Quick Mask and create a selection, and then create an adjustment layer, for almost exactly the same experience. Agreed - this doesn't seem to really solve any problems.
Not a bad tool but for exposure and color I am used to the dodge/burn and sponge tools where u can also use any brush or shape. At least Adobe is doing something new. Little by little. Cheers. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Even after using PS since 1994, there is always something new to learn.
Adj brush is neither. Just adding the Adj Brush to PS since LrC has had this for several years. You can achieve the same effect with a selection then applying the same tweaks.
It would be more useful if rather it would Auto Mask as you paint, like the one we have on Lightroom... I bet you have some tutorial that would make me hate less the Select and Mask interface...
RIght now I think it's more of a gimmick tool.. It def would save time for some specific projects (not all) BUT, I admit it has a lot of potential. Looking forward to how Adobe would develop that tool more as years go by, assuming the tool sticks around 😅
I know you hear this all the time, but this is *the best* photoshop tutorials & information channel. Well done.
HIs whole approach, along with his skill set are top tier, totally agree. He's been solid for a while too.
Best tutorials on UA-cam!
for expierenced user not so great adition, but for new users it introduces them to masks and adjustment layers and make them better in the future
Always the best tutorials 💥 so well explained 🙌
I like your humor 😊 thanks for the tips

I've learned more about how to select and adjust by not using the new brush but by the "traditional" methods. Thank you.

I tend to make slight adjustments to my images in Lr before bringing them into Ps for Freq Separation.

Less people would ride the seas if they made it a one time affordable fee like their competitors
Exactly
I cancelled my sub a while ago and it was NOT an easy process...v shady! (Went to Affinity!)
Unfortunately the people that keep paying more than make up for it, so financially it still makes sense for Adobe to keep the sub model
Hmm, this is an interesting tool. There have always been multiple ways to do a lot of functions and effects, but I'm with you, I'm not sure if this is faster or more efficient than the alternatives. I'm looking forward to playing with this a bit myself. Thanks for the heads up.

It should include all the possible adjustment layer options, including LUTs.
I wish that would open the RAW filter panel
Thanks!
It's working like magic!
I love the alternate ways of doing something.
Thank you for sharing and for NOT being a total Adobe shill!!!!
Seems like an interesting tool, but it would not teach you to use a more robust workflow.
I also liked your text effects and video transitions.
Adobe listened to you. The adjustment brush just was updated today into regular PS. It looks like all the adjustments are in the dropdown menu.
You only used examples that would be selecting an area to change. I found it very useful because I work with photo adjustments to transform them into textures, so it requires a lot of use of soft brushes to adjust lighter or darker areas, correct colors etc to neutralize the image to be used as a seamless texture in a video game.
Looks like a nice segue from the way Lightroom CC masking brushes work.
Do you have a video on all selection techniques in ps?

@@rockingheadbangers Yes, but will it hurt to have it on Photoshop as well?
