Content-aware Cropping: Another amazing content-aware tool, then feature activates while you're cropping something.Removing Content with Content-Aware Fill: This is a great tool for removing items from images, something I always used to think was an impressive Photoshop magic trick! To use the Content-Aware Fill, select an area on your image with the Lasso Tool, then Edit > Content-Aware Fill and photoshop will automatically remove that selection, attempting to fill in the empty space with auto-generated fill from the surrounding area.High success rate, even with a difficult selection like hair. Quick Actions: Remove Background and Select Subject: Incredibly smart auto-selection that highlights the person or main subject in an image, letting you add a new background or export with a transparent outline.Save Selection Feature: Incredibly helpful addition to Photoshop's select tool that lets you save a selection area to be re-used and re-selected as many times as you need.After a week of using Photoshop, this is my absolute favourite tool in Photoshop. Quick Selection Tool: A truly wonderful tool that lets you drag and select any area of an image, with software-enhanced edge detection to help you carefully select any image.Newly discovered (for me) Impressive Photoshop Specific Features and Tools Element Selection Tools The distinction I’m mostly focused on features not currently in Figma. *Some of these features are in other tools, like the excellent Pixelmator Pro, and I’m sure many others. Hopefully, this might spark some ideas for you, either of the capabilities of Photoshop or different workflows in Figma! I want to recap a few of each of these categories - Photoshop specific tools*, and Photoshop techniques to use in Figma.

While I was going through the course I kept a deliberate eye out for tools and features that were missing in Figma, or techniques or methods I could apply to Figma that I hadn’t made full use of before. It was a great course and covered a super-wide breadth of the capabilities of Photoshop without going too deep on specific tools.

So in that context, I recently finished a 10-hour Photoshop essentials skillshare course, Adobe Photoshop CC – Essentials Training Course by Daniel Scott (referral link for 2 months free on new accounts). Which means even if I use Figma for 90% of my design work - I think it’s extremely important that I know the capabilities of other tools, even if I’m not using those tools daily! And in terms of tools that have driven the historical direction of Product Design, Photoshop stands out as number one. I use it for all of my design work, and plan to continue doing so (future teammates considered!).Īt the same time, I’m a big believer in the importance of understanding the tools of the industry, the proverbial ‘understanding of how the sauce is made’. Figma is my favourite and daily tool for a bunch of meaningful reasons. I’ve tried a whole bunch of other visual design tools too - Sketch, Figma, InVision Studio, Photoshop, Illustrator, Framer, Webflow, and even (forced by circumstance) PowerPoint. I started using it six months after I learnt that digital product design existed, meaning I effectively grew up as a Figma designer.
