The defining characteristic of the 2020 release was the aggressive deployment of Adobe Sensei, the company’s artificial intelligence and machine learning engine. This was the year Photoshop stopped being just a raster editor and became a "computational" editor.
The marquee feature was the Object Selection Tool. Before this version, isolating a subject required manual lassoing, channel masking, or the "Select Subject" feature (which was introduced in CC 2018 but significantly refined here). The 2020 update allowed users to simply draw a loose rectangle or lasso around an object, and the AI would automatically snap the selection to the edges of the subject. This single feature reduced complex masking tasks that once took minutes down to seconds.
