Adobe ships Photoshop 24.2

Adobe has released Photoshop 24.2, the latest version of its image-editing and digital painting software.

The update adds the option to password-protect links to documents shared for review, improves performance of the Object Selection tool, and adds support for app window snapping on Windows.

The iPad edition of the software has also been updated, with Photoshop on the iPad 4.4 adding support for copying and pasting text and images to and from the iOS clipboard.

Updates to document sharing and Object Selection
Photoshop 24.2 is a small workflow update, with the main change being the option to password-protect links to documents generated using the new Share for review system added in Photoshop 24.0 last year.

Performance of the AI-trained Object Selection tool has been improved, although the release notes don’t put a figure on the improvement.

The Windows edition now supports Windows’ Snap feature, making it possible to snap the app window to those of other apps when running multiple applications side by side.

iPad edition also updated
Adobe has also updated Photoshop on the iPad, the iOS edition of the software, available free as part of Photoshop subscriptions.

Version 4.4 adds the option to cut and paste text and images to and from the iOS clipboard.

Pricing and system requirements
Photoshop 24.2 is available for Windows 10+ and macOS 11.0+ on a rental-only basis. In the online documentation, the update is also referred to as the February 2023 release or Photoshop 2023.1.

Photography subscription plans, which include access to Photoshop and Lightroom, start at $119.88/year. Single-app Photoshop subscriptions cost $31.49/month or $239.88/year.
