Photoshop Next Update

Any idea for the delay in Photoshop 27.0 or LrC. Has been almost 30 days since last update. Interested in the next major revision. How can Adobe take a product like PS or LrC to another level. Wow!

Correct answer Conrad_C

If they follow the pattern of the last several years, the next major update for many Creative Cloud apps might be released during the annual Adobe MAX conference. For this year, Adobe MAX is scheduled for October 28-30, and in past years major upgrades were rolled out during the Opening Keynote presentation on the first day of the conference.

 

As for what will be new, again if the past is any indication, you can already preview and help test many of the possible features by trying the Photoshop public beta. Note the “Top features” list on that linked page. Any feature in the beta that is not in the current regular release might be finalized at MAX, but it can depend on if they think the new features are stable enough to make it out of beta testing.

Yes, I was use to the October release in the past years. Was surprised when they released in Sep. Since Adobe has not released any updates this month, with one week to go are they planning the same surprise. I also find it a little surprising when they release in Public Beta only after releasing in the full version. I believe they did this with Harmonize filter recently.

As Conrad said, the new releases are typically on the first day of Adobe MAX. The date changes from year to year, but is usually in the autumn. We don't know if Adobe will release updates early, as they do not tell us.

Is there any particular problem you expect a new version to solve?

No, only would like to see the new features. Not sure how they can make any real major changes in an app which always seems to raise the bar for others.
