He dragged a raster sketch from his iPad onto the artboard. In previous versions, tracing this would be a chore of the Pen Tool—click, drag, curse, delete. But this time, he selected the sketch and clicked Retype .

Leveraging Adobe Firefly, this feature enables designers to generate editable vector patterns, icons, and scenes from simple text prompts directly within the app. Mockup (Beta):

In the past, placing vector art onto a 3D object (like a cylinder or a box) required the "Map Art" tool in 3D Effects—a clunky, preview-heavy process. With the 2024 cycle, Adobe introduced a direct "Mockup" mode.

This build includes optimized drivers for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. Panning and zooming on complex files (e.g., brand guides with 500+ artboards) sees a over version 28.5. Additionally, anti-aliasing in GPU Preview mode has been refined to reduce "jaggies" on curved paths.
