Select Subject lets you select the most prominent subject in an image in a single click. Powered by advanced machine learning technology, Select Subject is trained to identify a variety of objects in an image—people, animals, vehicles, toys, and more.
Access Select Subject in one of the following ways in Photoshop:
While editing an image, choose Select Subject.
While using the Quick Selection or Magic Wand tools, click Select Subject in the options bar.
While using the Quick Selection tool in the Select & Mask workspace, click Select Subject in the options bar.
High-density monitor support and per-monitor scaling
New in the January 2018 release
On Windows 10 Creators Update and later versions, Photoshop now offers a full range of choices for UI scaling—from 100% through 400% in 25% increments. This enhancement makes the Photoshop user interface looks crisp and sharp regardless of the pixel density of your monitor. Photoshop automatically adjusts its resolution based on your Windows settings.
In addition, Adobe and Microsoft have worked closely to provide per-monitor scaling across monitors with different scaling factors. This enhancement ensures that a high resolution HiDPI laptop works seamlessly alongside a lower-resolution desktop monitor, or vice versa. For example, one of your monitors can have a scale factor of 175%, while another monitor can have a scale factor of 400%. So, you can choose either the highest-end 13-inch laptops with 4k screens, the more affordable 1080p models, or tap into the new 8k desktop monitors, and still have an uncompromised experience within Photoshop.
In Windows, select Start Settings System Display. Now, under Scale And Layout, choose a scaling factor for each of your displays.
Streamlined brush management
Enhanced in the October 2017 release
Working with brush presets is much easier in this release of Photoshop. You can now organize brush presets into folders—including nested folders—in the greatly-streamlined Brushes panel renamed from Brush Presets in earlier releases.
You can now choose to work with and manage brush-enabled tool presets and their attributes, accessible only from the Options bar in earlier releases of Photoshop, in the Brushes panel. Any brush-enabled tool preset can be converted into a brush preset; all of its attributes—such as opacity, flow, and blending mode—are preserved. Once you've converted brush-enabled tool presets into brush presets, you can choose to remove them from the tool presets list.
