In this video, we will fully break down all 14 big new updates to Photoshop, from Rotate Object to Reference Image support, and test how they actually perform in real-world editing. We’ll start with the new Reflection Removal directly inside Photoshop, see how using it as layers gives you more flexibility, and where it falls short compared to Camera Raw. Then we’ll test the updated AI models, including Firefly Image 5 and new additions like Nano Banana 2, while looking at credit usage, resolution, and if they show strange AI artifacts that can ruin an image. We’ll also explore the new credit transparency inside Photoshop, helpful improvements like Layer Cleanup, the redesigned Actions panel, updates to Dynamic Text, and features that have now moved from Photoshop Beta into the main version, like Rotate Object. Along the way, we’ll look at the pros, cons, and better alternatives wherever needed, so the goal is not just to show what’s new, but to help you understand which features are genuinely useful, which ones still need work, and how to get the best results from this Photoshop update. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
