Photoshop Express Photo Editor 18.4.40: what changed
This build brings together several ways to personalize photos and videos, from aesthetic video Looks and uploaded background images to makeup tools and doodles. Here is what each change means for everyday editing.
What changed
- 01Give videos an aesthetic Look
Open a video in Photoshop Express and explore the Looks available for it. The update specifically calls out aesthetic Looks for video, while the app description presents the editor as a place for quick creative edits. Choose a style that suits the clip, then review the result before using it elsewhere. This is a new video-editing option in this build.
- 02Replace a photo background image
For a photo that would benefit from a different setting, use the background replacement option and upload the image you want to use. The app description also lists AI background replacement among its editing tools. Check the composition after replacing the background so the subject and new scene work together before you share or save the edited picture.
- 03Retouch with upgraded healing
Use the updated healing feature when a portrait has a blemish or another small mark you want to remove. Photoshop Express describes healing and blemish removal as part of its portrait retouching toolkit, alongside tools such as red-eye correction and clone stamp. Zoom in on the area you want to edit, apply the repair, and review the result at normal size.
