Photoshop
Features
Quick Selection Tool
For a faster and easier selection process, quickly
“paint” a selection over your image with the
Quick Selection tool. Drag your mouse over the
area of your image you want to work on, and
the Quick Selection tool automatically expands
outward, finding and following defined edges
and shapes. Use the Refine Selection Edge menu
to improve the quality of the selection edges.
See Adobe Video Workshop topic, Making and refining selections
Smart Filters
Apply filters directly to your Photoshop images
non-destructively using Smart Filters. Smart Filters
appear in the Layers palette, where they remain
live. You can turn them on and off or edit them
after the filter has already been applied—
without altering the original Photoshop image.
