Every year this program does not surprise, but this time with its last version 2021 has left us more than one with the mouth open and stops us so much since in its improvements includes tools of automated that would take us infinite hours of work doing it manually those that more stand out are the replacement of automatic sky and the Neural filters. next, are a brief mention of the wonderful things that these new tools can do.

Neural filters

In fact, it is one of the most significant improvements of photoshop 2021. And it is nothing more than a gallery of filters in the style of the famous apps such as face apps that are available for mobile devices but this time they are already included in the professional area and that in time will give a lot of talk because they are already available for artists and photographers to use. In most cases, before using them for the first time we will have to download them, and even once downloaded, some of them require an Internet connection since part of this process is done in the adobe cloud. filters are included:

Skin Softener: As the name suggests, a filter that softens the skin. Includes two sliders.

Smart portrait: A filter to modify the expression of the face, put you old, young move from positions and make a serious face, sad smile or put your hair abundant.

Colorize: This filter allows you to automatically colorize black and white photographs. It’s not perfect, but it’s not bad either and can be a good starting point that can be used a lot for restoring old photographs.

Superzoom: this filter is used to make detail enlargements in the faces. I already used it the truth is still far away, but there is hope that in the next versions this option will improve.

Other filters are Makeup Transfer (for copying makeup), Mist Depth (simulates environmental fog), Artifact Removal (for repairing highly compressed jpg files) these are the most important filters that make up part of neural filters.

Sky Replacement

This name refers to the automatic sky change and that this tool has a great engine that detects the sky that is in a photograph and replaces it with a new sky that is in its own database or if any of them is not to your liking you can download on the web the one that seems most appropriate.

It is important to emphasize that most of these new tools are in their beta phase, so that professionals can test them and give their own point of view to adobe on what the improvements of these tools should be.

Personally, I have tried them and I can tell you that even though it is a long way from being the perfect tool that every designer dreams of, it is not very far from being able to achieve that desired help that, among others, I think can be counterproductive in some cases because most people will think they are designers. But we must consider that no matter how much artificial intelligence helps, human talent will always be present, but in the end only time will tell.
