HomeView Tidbits: Mirror, Sleep Timer, and Other Details


Apple's HomeView is out today, and we're finally learning all the little details about the new hub. We've rounded up a list of tidbits for those setting up a HomeView or thinking about getting one.


Sunglasses


Apple says the HomeView probably won't recognize you if you have your face covered, including when wearing sunglasses. If HomeView isn't identifying you, Apple suggests removing anything that would block the camera from seeing your face.

The HomeView's screen needs to be angled toward your face, you need to be centered in the frame and closest to the camera if other people are around, and the HomeView can't be blocked by overhanging shelves and cabinets. Apple says the HomeView needs front-facing, even light.

Mirror


There's a "Mirror" in the HomeView Control Center that lets you use the camera to see yourself. There's an option to turn on an edge light for face illumination, along with 1x and 2x zoom.

Guest Controls


The HomeView owner has multiple options for what guests can access.

  • Safari can be turned on or off, or adult websites can be blocked.

  • By default, guests can use Siri for general knowledge, writing help, and math help, but ‌Siri‌ features can be turned off.

  • Explicit content can be turned on or off.

  • There's an option to choose which Apple Music subscription supplies music for an unrecognized user.


Wi-Fi/Cellular


The HomeView authenticates people through face recognition and by making sure their iOS device is nearby, recently unlocked, and on the same Wi-Fi network as the HomeView. If there's a Wi-Fi outage, Apple says cellular can also be used to unlock personal content as long as it's in the same location and was recently on the Wi-Fi network.

Sleep Timer


You can set a sleep timer on HomeView to pause whatever media is playing when the timer goes off.

No Buttons


There is no button to turn the HomeView on or off, or restart it. It can be restarted from the Settings app or by briefly unplugging it.

Logins


You can log into websites and apps using your iPhone, similar to how the Apple TV works.

Notifications


The HomeView only has notifications for phone calls and home devices, with an option to toggle on critical notifications. There are no other notification settings or options.

Liquid Glass


The transparency of the Liquid Glass interface can be adjusted from clear to opaque like on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Personal Data Lockouts


If someone tries to repeatedly access personal content on HomeView that needs authentication, facial recognition via the camera is disabled and you'll need to prove identity with a registered device.

Adobe Photoshop 25.5 - Professional image editor.




You can download Adobe Photoshop as a part of Creative Cloud for only $54.99/month

Adobe Photoshop is a recognized classic of photo-enhancing software. It offers a broad spectrum of tools that can turn your inspiration into incredible images, photos, composites, 3D artwork, paintings, and graphics on any device.

Photoshop has become the choice of thousands of creative professionals around the world. First introduced in 1988, it still is the world's leading image-editing software.

Intuitive and clean user interface

Although Photoshop for Mac is the most comprehensive graphics and image-editing software available in the market today, it has a very intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface.

With recently improved usability, this photo-editor has become even more enjoyable to use. The interface loads as soon as you decide to use Photoshop.

A user-friendly interface updates you about new features, suggests learning content, and allows you to quickly access recent files. You can easily pick up where you left or create a new project, access cloud and desktop pictures, and open an existing document.

Convenient content-aware fill workspace

Adobe has recently announced the launch of its new Content-Aware Fill workspace. It allows you to remove objects or distracting elements from your images easier than ever before.

This new option offers an interactive editing experience. Now, you can take full Control over which "good" parts of the picture to use to replace the undesired areas. It allows resizing the initial selection, rotating, scaling, and mirroring content.

Enjoy a range of new tools

The latest version of the software provides a new Frame Tool that allows you to enjoy much simpler masking. Now, you can place shapes and text into placeholder frames and fill them with pictures. To create elliptical or rectangular forms, you only need to select the Frame Tool and press "K."

There is also a new default feature of multiple undo. If you want to view an object before changes are applied, just click Control + Z (for Windows OS) and Command + Z (for macOS). Don't worry about losing any project changes in Adobe Photoshop on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. With a new auto-commit feature, they are saved automatically.

What's new in Photoshop

Version 21.2:
  • In the latest version, you can make accurate selections of people with one click.
  • Now, Adobe Photoshop can find and add all available fonts to your libraries automatically when you open a project.
  • In updated Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw workspace provides all your tools right where you need them so that you can work on your project more efficiently.
  • You can experience higher accuracy with the enhanced Match Font feature that allows vertical text, provides multiple-line detection and offers even more typefaces.
  • Now, you can change the orientation and add a rotation to any pattern in Pattern Overlays and Pattern Fill layers much more easily than before.


  • Create and save your presets for future use or import and export to share inspiration.
  • You can now adjust text alignment, spacing (leading and kerning), and font style (bolding, italicizing, underlining) directly from the Contextual Task Bar.


  • 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended)
  • 4 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
  • Internet connection
