Adobe is starting off 2025 by making collaboration in Adobe Photoshop more seamless than ever. They are thrilled to bring Live Co-Editing to Photoshop and invite you to sign up for beta testing in the Photoshop desktop (beta) and web applications.
Now, multiple creators can simultaneously access and edit documents from different computers — unlocking shared creativity and collaboration. This game-changing advancement, informed by community input, accelerates content creation, streamlines communication and improves creative collaboration for creators, teams and educators.
- Multiple designers can simultaneously work on a Photoshop document, splitting tasks to tackle and complete projects more efficiently, together.
- Creative teams at large enterprises can collaborate on highly matrixed projects, solicit stakeholder input and address feedback all in a single file.
- Creators can collect client feedback more intuitively by inviting them to directly collaborate on a file, view edits and make comments.
- Students can follow along live as educators demonstrate workflows and teach techniques in Photoshop. Comments and edits can be made directly in a student’s document by teachers to help enhance learning and contextualise feedback.
Adobe deeply values feedback from their community and encourage creators to sign up to test Live Co-Editing in Photoshop. Sign up using the registration screener so you can test drive this new technology and influence how it evolves.

Popular community-driven innovations
Photoshop launched dozens of innovative features and capabilities in 2024 that improved adjustments, compositing, selecting and typography workflows, all informed by community feedback. Try out these popular capabilities if you haven’t already by updating your Photoshop app to the latest version.
Remove Tool with Distraction Removal
The Distraction Removal capability in the Remove Tool automatically detects and removes wires and people from the background and replaces them with generated content while preserving image integrity, depth, and complex details.
You can remove multiple unwanted elements from a photo, like tourists in the background of your travel photos or pesky power lines disrupting your beautiful landscape image, which significantly simplifies your workflows and saves effort on tedious editing tasks.
Improved Font browser
For projects focused on typography, use the improved Font browser to search, filter, live preview, and use 25,000+ free and licensed fonts from the cloud without leaving the Photoshop application.
Search fonts by name, explore different dialects, and find the perfect typeface for any aesthetic without interrupting your workflows. Once a new font is added from the cloud, it will automatically sync across all your Photoshop devices and Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications for a continuous editing experience.
Selection Brush
The Selection Brush enables you to easily and more intuitively select and adjust specific areas of an image. With a brush, you can change the settings for opacity and hardness and create selections with varying transparency, feathered edges, and more realistic and nuanced effects. The Selection Brush provides more control, flexibility, and intuitiveness whether you are selecting, compositing, adjusting, and generating content.
Generative AI with the latest Adobe Firefly Image Model
Generative Fill, Generative Expand, and Generate Similar are now powered by the latest Adobe Firefly Image Model, which yields greatly improved photographic quality, better prompt comprehension to understand complex descriptions, and generation variety to explore different results.
Adjustment Brush Tool
With the Adjustment Brush Tool, you can now paint on adjustments to brightness, saturation, exposure, and more when you want to change a specific part of your image.
Custom Adjustment Presets
Use over 30 Adjustment Presets to change images in one click. Create and save custom presets, export them to share, and import new favourites.
Enhance Detail
Use Enhance Detail to boost sharpness and detail on your Generative Fill creations. Get results with greater clarity that blend more seamlessly with the existing image.
Bullets and Numbering Support for the Type Tool
When using the Type Tool, you can now create bulleted and numbered lists in Photoshop with a single click, saving you from repetitive manual formatting.
Improved Contextual Task Bar (for Shapes and Transform workflows)
The improved Contextual Task Bar now includes popular settings that help you work with Shapes or Transform and rotate objects, so you can avoid menu-diving and work more efficiently.
OpenColorIO (OCIO) support and 32-bit HDR workflows
OCIO support is now available in Photoshop on desktop, allowing you to control, convert, and preserve colour workflows at higher quality across programmes. An expanded set of Photoshop tools is now compatible with 32-bit HDR images, enabling you to complete common workflows without converting images to 16-bit or 8-bit, which reduces image fidelity and colour accuracy.
Language support for Vietnamese & Indonesian
Photoshop now offers new language support for Indonesian and Vietnamese.
