Apple recently launched the new MacBook Pro which features something no other MacBook Pro has ever had: a multi-touch display which replaces the function key row at the very top of the keyboard. Since it’s a proper display, it’s dynamic and can do so much more than a row of keys. Apple has opened up the Touch Bar to third-party developers to extend app functionality and Adobe is now following through with an update for Photoshop which adds support for the Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro.

Adobe had previously confirmed that it would update Photoshop with support for the Touch Bar. As promised, custom support for the multi-touch display is now available in the Photoshop update that’s rolling out today.

Photoshop will use the Touch Bar to display the contextual “next step,” this will be good for beginners who are unsure about how to navigate Photoshop and experienced users who just want quick access to the desired next action.

Touch Bar support will also make it easier for users to access controls in a new way, particularly controls that felt clumsy to use with a mouse and keyboard. For example, users can scrub through the history on the Touch Bar and also access common actions like clip Layers, place a Smart Object, and open Select & Mask.

The Photoshop update which brings Touch Bar support for the new MacBook Pro has been rolled out. It’s available now for all users who own the software on Apple’s new notebook.
