Create selections with the new Selection Brush Tool that combines the use of both brush and lasso gestures. You can also Add or Remove from the selection and adjust the brush Hardness and Opacity to create selections with varying opacity and softer, feathered edges. This introduces more ease and flexibility when selecting, compositing, and applying Filters and Fills.
Simply brush or circle around an area on canvas where you want to create a selection. This feature enables you to select areas with a brush in fewer steps, without having to use Quick Mask Mode or the Brush tool in the Select and Mask workspace. Once you make a selection, you can composite or apply Filters and Fills with more ease and flexibility.
The Selection Brush Tool works like any other selection tool in Adobe Photoshop. The difference is that the selected area shows up as a colored overlay and users see "marching ants" only when they switch to another tool. This overlay makes it easier to visualize and adjust - choose from the Colors dropdown in the gear icon to select a different overlay color.

The Adjustment Brush Tool is an easy and intuitive way of directly painting adjustments onto your image. This feature combines the traditional workflow of selecting, masking, and applying an adjustment into one step, simplifying the way of making local adjustments.
Use the Adjustment Brush Tool to make specific adjustments, like brightening your subject's face or darkening the sky.

Generator Plugins Menu
Generator plugins were found under the menu File > Generate. Now, all Generator plugins, including the default Image Assets plugin, are found under the menu File > Automate > Generator Plugins. This change was done to bring more clarity to the submenu's name and differentiate it from the new generative features like Generate Image.
