Top Story
7 Overlooked Photoshop Tools That Will Save You Hours
You learned Photoshop years ago and haven't looked back. You stick with the Magic Wand, Clone Stamp, and layer masks because they work. But Adobe has added dozens of features that can significantly speed up your common tasks.
The problem isn't that these tools are hidden—they're usually right in the interface. It's that Photoshop is so complex, you naturally ignore anything you don't immediately need. Meanwhile, what used to take you an hour might now take 15 minutes with the right approach.
This week's Top Story covers the most useful features that even experienced users often miss, and why knowing the right tool matters as much as technical skill.
Editor's Pick
Learn Photoshop in 40 Minutes: Complete Beginner Tutorial
Photoshop feels overwhelming because it's natural to learn tools as you need them. This scattered approach leaves you knowing bits and pieces but lacking a clear process to handle projects efficiently from start to finish.
This video by Brendan Williams breaks down Photoshop into a simple four-phase workflow that works for any project: setup your canvas and import images, build your project structure with essential edits, add creative effects and adjustments, then export your final work.
No scattered tutorials or random tool explanations. Just a clear path from blank canvas to finished design.
Free Digital Art Print
This week's featured artwork is "Silent Muse," an AI-generated abstract portrait digital art print created with Adobe Firefly. A serene woman's face emerges from swirling waves of vivid color—red, blue, orange, and violet flowing around her like a cosmic aura in a dreamlike composition. Available as a digital download — free for personal use, with an optional ultra-high resolution version in multiple crops and commercial license — it's ready to print and enjoy as a bold statement piece.
Master Midjourney with proven techniques and pro insights that deliver expert-level results for your personal and professional projects.
