Anything new and cool in a new Photoshop 2021?

I mean  something useful for work , not all the toyish  things.     That AI Neural  things   they seem focusing on  leaves  totally meh impression.    I was super excited about everything AI  few years ago  but with time passing it's  rather disappointing  than  promising.

Pattern Preview sounds pretty cool. Tiled-texture artists have been asking for this for a long time.

Generally, bug fixes are another good reason to get the latest.

I'm on the $10/month plan, and that's a reasonable subscription for my needs.

I wished something like content aware fill  working in sync on heigh and color channel   Artomatix style

Ai selection  working to recognize patterns on texture images

in a word something like this .

 

Sadly  nothing like those ,     Even the patch tool, the rare thing I still use in photoshop   is not as good as in Affinity photo.  

But I also on $10 plan
