You can now scale the interface to the font size.

A single click in the Preferences scales toolbars, icons, buttons, labels, and panels according to type size-tiny, small, medium, and large. Improvements to the interface, like matching the font size to the app’s controls, makes the experience more cohesive. The Symmetry Mode, which was a technical beta in the last version, has now been fully implemented, letting you paint brush strokes in a symmetrical pattern. It even adds something many felt it should have had all along: a Color Wheel. The 2019 version offers improvements to existing features like Content Aware Fill and Home Screen, as well as new tools like the Frame Tool and dynamic Blend Mode previews. If you are not a subscriber, new features in the 2019 version may inspire you to give the app a try. If you already use Photoshop CC, then you are either a Creative Cloud or a Photography Plan subscriber, which means that the Photoshop 2019 update is automatically available. Having dispensed with commercial version numbers (it is now at version 20), Adobe now renames the app according to the prospective year. While technically, Photoshop’s subscription model frees it from the tyranny of yearly upgrades, Adobe still announces high-profile updates on a yearly schedule. Photoshop CC, Adobe’s flagship image editing app, remains an industry standard because of its innovative vision of how the software can assist photographers and graphic designers in doing their jobs.
