What’s New in Photoshop (April 2026 Update)

Apr 30, 2026 | Lightroom, Photoshop, Tutorials | 10 comments

Hi everyone!

Adobe recently released some new Photoshop features this week. One of the bigger features is a new way of finding and removing distractions which is always one of the main reasons we even go in to Photoshop in the first place (as a photographer). 

In this week’s video we’ll take a look at what’s new and which ones I think you should pay attention to.

    Hello Matt. I appreciate all your advice, as well as the last one. I also use your actions. In your last video you showed how we can help get rid of glass reflections. Unfortunately, this function is not possible for me. Is there something I need to turn on? I am sending you a screen shot. Thank you for your answer and best regards.

      Hi. Glad you like the videos, thanks! I’m not sure how to troubleshoot that one so I’d suggest maybe a look on Google or Adobe Support. Thanks.

    I couldn’t watch it. So why again am I signing in and being asked to provide a comment before I see the video? I’m a regular Matt K subscriber

      This is a youtube thing as my videos are hosted via youtube. This is not my website asking you to sign in. You can go on youtube and watch if you’d like.

    Just an fyi, downloaded the new version of PS. The “General Distractions” feature is not supported on Mac Intel machines.

    Thank you, Matt, for this info on Photoshop! Although I don’t use Lightroom I have been an avid Photoshop user for over 20 years. I appreciate your helpful Photoshop tips!

      I saw your comment and decided to look this up since I have a Mac after watching Matt’s video.

      “Yes, the new General Distractions removal feature in Adobe Photoshop (as of early 2026) is fully applicable and functional on Apple computers.”
