While many of Adobe's products will get new features added during and shortly after Adobe MAX, here are some of the most noteworthy.
The Object Section tool now has an expanded base of types of objects that it automatically recognizes, making it easier for one-click object selection. In addition, it now identifies complex objects and regions, including the sky, buildings, water, plants, flooring, and more.
One Click Delete and Fill is a new feature that combines the Object Selection tool, Content-Aware Fill, and the Shift+Delete shortcut. It allows users to remove objects from images in one step.

Adobe is also adding additional features to the beta of Content Credentials. Content Credentials is a tool that allows Photoshop owners to attach attribution information to images when exporting from Photoshop.
The new features include multi-user and multi-device workflows, cloud features, and global preferences for exporting, including per-document opt-in improvement to smart objects.
An improved Select Subject leverages Adobe's AI technology to identify more objects. It also can select finer details like foliage, fur, and hair with greater accuracy.
Additionally, users can make quick photo edits using one-tap Auto Tone, Auto Contrast, and Auto Color commands.

Fresco also gained two popular features from Photoshop, free transform and liquify, allowing for greater image manipulation.
Share for Review now allows creators to share specific versions of design work with clients and stakeholders and fine-tunes the process of getting feedback.
