Adobe Photoshop 2022 (Version 23.2) Review Release Date: February 2022 (part of the 2022 release cycle) Overall Verdict: 8.5/10 Excellent for professionals and serious hobbyists, but overkill for casual users. Version 23.2 is a refinement update rather than a revolutionary one. It solidifies Photoshop’s position as the industry standard by improving core workflows, introducing smarter AI tools, and enhancing collaboration features—without any major overhauls.

What’s New in Version 23.2

Improved Object Selection Tool

Hover-to-select now works more accurately, especially for complex subjects like hair, fur, and overlapping objects. Real-world benefit: Faster masking with fewer manual corrections.

Shared Cloud Documents Enhancements

Better version history and commenting for cloud-saved PSDs. Smoother integration with Creative Cloud Libraries and Photoshop for iPad.

Neural Filters Updates

Added Landscape Mixer (combine landscape elements from different images) and Color Transfer . Improved Super Zoom for upscaling low-res images with AI.

Performance & Stability

Optimized for Apple Silicon (M1/M1 Pro/M1 Max) – native support, not just Rosetta 2. Faster liquify, select subject, and save-as operations.

Other Tweaks

New Export As preview options. Better color management for HDR displays.
