Adobe continues to keep a steady trickle of Photoshop improvements coming. Today it announced improved support for high-DPI monitors, with the Photoshop UI now adapting the native Windows scaling of between 100% and 400%. That will be particularly well received for those (like me) with 4K laptops and less-than-super-human vision. There is also a new slider for Masking off Selections that tries to calibrate how precise you want it to be. Presumably this builds on its “Sensei” machine learning technology for improved results over previous systems.

In smaller news, you can now change Brush settings using the Micrsoft Dial.

There are also some great improvements to Adobe XD:

• Usability improvements to Design Specs (Beta) – Feature enhancements make it easier and faster than ever to navigate design specs in the browser, and enable users to work with masked layers.   
• Ability to switch between HEX, RGB, HSB in Color Picker – Within the Color Picker, a user can select HEX, RGB, or HSB from the dropdown menu, allowing designers to quickly switch between three common color models used in screen design.
• Batch export – Export options now include batch export, which you can access through the file menu. Right-click in the Layers panel to mark objects for batch export.
• Additional XD CC Resources:
