Good news for artists of all stripes: Adobe has added a collection of useful tools to three of its key apps. The updates, for Adobe Express, Adobe Fresco and Adobe Photoshop for iPad, cover everything from social media to smarter image tools – and they're all free for existing users. Here's what's new.
What's new in Adobe Fresco
Fresco's also getting a price cut: you can now get it for just $9.99 / £9.99 a year.
Photoshop needs no introduction, and this upgrade adds some more desktop-class features including Content-Aware Fill, which enables you to select an area and replace it with the same contents as its surroundings, a feature that feels awfully close to magic. New tools also enable you to select and refine small details in a portrait with a single click, and you can now quickly and accurately remove the background of any photo.
What's new in Adobe Express
Adobe Express isn't as well known as the illustration and imaging apps, but the app formerly known as Spark is much loved by social media creators for its effortless animation and high quality templates. Its new Content Scheduler for both web and app users is designed to help those creators better manage their social media workflows so that they can use a single app to create, plan, preview and publish content.
