Even better, some aspects of restoration can be turned on and off within the filter. And as with all Creative Cloud tools, subscribers will get this and all other updates for free. Plus Photoshop is getting better all the time, with the introduction of AI capabilities like the Photo Restoration Neural Filter, designed to help users bring old or damaged photos back to life by detecting and eliminating scratches and other minor imperfections in seconds. We particularly appreciate the Skin Smoothing functionality for portrait shooters, as well as Super Zoom, which lets you crop right into a specific part of an image, then resizes the result with automatically filled-in detail. In our full Photoshop 2022 review, we were hugely impressed with the neural filters and how streamlined they are. Now, you can smooth over skin, remove artefacts, even edit facial expressions and much more, all with the touch of a button.
