Adjustment presets and instant image makeover
There are 32 new presets in the adjustment panel, which are various filters that allow you to achieve a distinct look for your photo instantly. You can hover over the preset to find one you like, and achieve an instant image makeover. Once you have chosen your preset, you can add further adjustments by editing the automatically created layers, and use the sliders to modify the preset.

Essentially, it lets you remove an object from a photo by simply clicking it, while keeping the background and other features uninterrupted. According to Adobe, the remove tool is particular effective when erasing larger objects.
If you aren’t satisfied, you can of course go back over the image yourself to fine-tune anything that may have been missed.
Efficient editing with the Contextual Task Bar
