Here’s what’s new in Photoshop 26.8:
Dynamic Text Layouts
Design with ease using Dynamic Text Blocks that automatically reflow text as you resize your text box. Perfect for creating flexible, responsive layouts without constant manual adjustments.
Get started by using the Text Tool here.
Enhanced Subject Selection and Background Removal
Now with cloud-powered processing, these tools deliver improved edge detection, especially around hair, fur, and fine details. Enable Cloud Processing in Preferences to get cleaner, faster selections with less effort.
Learn how to improve your Select Subject and Background Removal process here.
View and Update AI Edit Settings
Stay in control of your edits. Now, when you apply AI-powered tools like Denoise, Remove, or Lens Blur, an AI Edit Status icon will show up. If anything changes that might affect your results, the icon turns yellow so you'll know it's time to reapply or tweak your settings. It's an easy way to keep your edits looking their best with no guesswork needed.

New File Support
Expand your workflow with support for AVIF and JPEG XL (JXL) formats. Open, edit, and save images with wider color depths, native HDR support, and efficient lossy and lossless compression for high-quality, optimized files.
Download the latest update from the Creative Cloud Desktop app to try out these new features for yourself.
