Adobe “Essentials” for Long-Time Users Subject: Proposal for Adobe “Essentials” Versions of Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign Dear Adobe Team, I have been an Adobe customer for decades and continue to use Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign almost daily on a part time basis. I’m 73 years old and semi-retired, but I still design logos, ads, brochures, and identities for national and local clients. Adobe remains the clear pathway for producing professional files for print and advertising. My challenge is that Creative Cloud has become increasingly focused on AI, social media, and features I don’t use. At this stage of my career, I don’t need every update or the full Creative Cloud suite. What I value most is stability, file compatibility, and the essential tools I’ve used for years. I would like to suggest that Adobe consider releasing “Essentials” versions of Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign: Core tools only – logo, layout, photo editing, type, and print prep. No AI, s

Hi Adobe, a request please to offer a perpetual license for Photoshop etc as you used to offer with a fee for upgrades every so often. If it helps I have been using Photoshop for 25yrs. Every company is subscription only and quite frankly it is out of control especially now with price increases. At least Capture One is offering a perpetual license. Time to listen to your customers, thank you. 

To simplicity managment of administrators in one place, it would be ideal if we could manage administrators in the Adobe Admin console in the same way we manage Licence assignment when syncing identities from Azure AD To be more specific, it would be ideal if we could automatically set all users that are in a specific Group that is synced from Azure AD as administrators (or any othe role) automatically in the Adobe Admin portal the same way we are able to assign licneces. The current proces involves syncing users to the Adobe Admin portal (via a dedicated group) and then manually assigning the administrator role once the user has syncronised. In a large organisation with many technical staff (oftent transient) that often need to log into the Adobe portal to troubleshoot this it means we need to remember to manually provsion each user instead of just letting our identiy managment platform handle that automatically.  

Dear Adobe Team,I would like to kindly request the addition of a much-needed feature in Adobe Premiere Pro: the ability to move the timeline by pressing and holding the middle mouse button.The idea is simple — when pressing the middle mouse button, the cursor should change to the “hand” icon, allowing the user to freely drag the timeline horizontally (left or right) or even vertically, just like in After Effects or Illustrator.Currently, working in Premiere Pro without this feature feels extremely inconvenient and slows down the editing workflow. It is surprising that such a basic and highly useful navigation tool, which has existed in After Effects and Illustrator for many years, is still not available in Premiere Pro.Adding this feature would greatly improve the user experience, making editing faster, more intuitive, and consistent across Adobe applications.Thank you for your attention to this request. I strongly believe that this small but powerful improvement would be greatly appre

Our company uses Dropbox for all file storage and collaboration. Each project is saved in its own structured Dropbox folder. When exporting assets, we want to ensure they stay within the correct project folder — but currently, Adobe apps (like XD, Illustrator, etc.) default to the last-used export folder, which often results in assets being exported to the wrong location, overwritten files, broken file links, etc.This affects efficiency and increases the chance of user error, especially in team environments.It would be great if files exported by default to the intended folder, or if a preference was allowed (either globally or per app)Thank you!

Right now it's only possible to change the language of the installed apps, such as Illustrator, but not the Creative Cloud app itself.

I prefer it in english, because of its wild cryptic Turkish and finding help in english is easier.Also there are million scenarios in both personal and business use, which a program that central to applications must have a configurable language selection. 

I'm using Windows. I can't change the language of my OS, which for some reason means I can't change the language of my Creative Cloud desktop app. This is so so frustrating! I just want to use CC in English! Please, please include language settings in the Creative Cloud.

With the "Creative Cloud Desktop" management app, you can change the installation language of the apps it controls.  What I can't change is the language of the app itself.On the operating system I can have the language is not English and I have no power to change it, but for the apps I have that chance.Nonetheless, I cannot find in any way, even looking through all the entries in all the menus of this app, a way to change its own language. It would seem to be tied to the operating system in which it is installed. This way of handling things does not provide me with any means of solving the problem. ( In addition to this, creative cloud itself, on the web, does not allow me to say "speak to me in English," even if I change the language of the browser: it reads the IP and forces me to use the language of the state I am in...but that is not what is useful to me! ) My priority is to change the language of the desktop app and its content to ENGLISH.This is mainly because the

Every time there is an app update; on my desktop, the desktop icon is also updated to the exact same icon that has always been there and it moves it from where I placed it to the top left corner of my desktop. How about if the icon changes it gets updated and if it doesn't change, LEAVE IT ALONE! This seems like a small issue but it is very frustrating to deal with 10 times a week!

I'm desperately missing the quick actions category on the home page of the Creative Cloud desktop app. The 'remove background' in particular was great as it allowed direct PNG download in one click. We're now left with the Adobe Express quick actions, which are not quick at all:Once the image is uploaded I have to manually select the 'remove background' option, despite having clicked on that quick action in the app menu. Then worst of all, we have to click 'download' to open a menu in which we have to manually select the PNG format from a drop-down and then another click to actually save the image. At the very least, the PNG format should be the default option for the 'remove background' action. The Express way is considerably more time consuming and annoying especially when you have to process several images. Please please please bring back the actual quick tool on the home page.

Hallo zusammen, ich nutze Adobe Produkte seit mehr als 25 Jahren. Mit jedem Update / Version kommen mir die Applicationen immer träger und langsamer vor. Vor 20 Jahren auf dem Mac konnte man gut arbeiten. Alles lief rund und zuverlässig. Heute nutze ich schon lange Windows 11 mit guter Hardware (AMD 5800X / 64 GB RAM / RTX 4070) - die aktuelle Suite ruckelt und harkt an allen Stellen. Rechner über Weihnachten neu aufgesetzte - wurde marginal besser.Es macht keinen Spaß mehr mit Illustrator und Indesign zu arbeiten - zumal die Rechenleistung jedes Jahr besser wird - baut die Adobe Software jedes Jahr weiter ab. Ok es ist vermutlich alter 16 Bit Core-Code der schlecht Multi-Core kann - kann doch nicht sein.Ich nutze seite eh und je mehrer Monitore - kann's aber auch nicht sein. Meist sind mehrere Programme gleichzeitig auf und es geht hin und her.Geht euch das auch so?

Using the web based assets site doesn't respond in the same was as the app did.  I used the app as a part of my workflow to send large Photoshop files that would normally be too large to send to a client any other method quickly. I  am not able to download a file in the same way from the web from my phone and send it to a client. Seems that this is a downgrade in an era that should only be technology forward for upgrades for the app. 

First of all, increasing the Adobe Pro Creative Plan from 20$ a month to 29.99$ a month is insane. To top it all off I've had this subscription for over a year now, which means I have to pay 39.99$ a month??!! How am I as a college student supposed to pay this 40$ a month till I graduate? I have never seen more of a greedier company who do not care about its users. Don't even get me started on the cancellation fee... 

Hello Adobe Team, As a long-time Illustrator user, I want to suggest a feature that would significantly improve workflow efficiency. Currently, once text is expanded, there’s no way to see what font was originally used. This becomes frustrating when revisiting a file later, only to realize that I need to retype or match text but can’t recall the font. My proposal is a “Font Recall” feature: when hovering over expanded text, Illustrator would display the original font name (and style) that was used prior to expanding. This would save time, reduce guesswork, and streamline design revisions. This small addition would have a big impact for designers who frequently expand text for outlines, logos, and print work. Thank you for considering this improvement — I believe it would be a valuable enhancement for the design community. Best regards,Salty Design Studio

Please make it possible to download entire folders or multible files (more than 10) from the cloud. It isn't possible to save hundreds of files for my backup. That's something a cloud should offer for a pofessional workflow.

I would love to see the desktop version of Creative Cloud optimized for the desktop. Here's a good example of what I mean: lists of horizontally arranged menu items could open automatically as you roll over them and then stay open as you mouse downward to choose the item in the vertical list - like the top menu bar in Mac OS - instead of every, single, thing, being, a, single, click, to open and choose anything. It's just so slow and feels like backwards steps on the desktop - like I'm trudging through sucking mud to move forward. The feeling is similar to when I work with web versions of apps: it's like working on Dropbox's browser interface vs. working in the Mac OS Finder. I'm sure it's easier for Adobe to make all versions the same, but a desktop is not an iPad, so interaction can be different, i.e. desktops allow for rollovers and iPads don't, so why not take advantage of that to make the desktop version the best it can be. Lots of professionals use desktop systems and efficiency

If the Marathi language is not responding to your app and you do not have the Marathi font, then I think Adobe should work on this because it will be easier for a Marathi person to handle it. I hope you will do something about this soon, your Adobe member.

The requirement to sign out and sign in every time I work from a different computer is really annoying.  I take photos for my business and depending on the time of day, need to edit them from my laptop, my office PC, my home PC, or a PC in our school's theater where the photos are taken.  I often end up using all four PC's in the same day, and each time I need to switch PC's I have to (1) sign into creative cloud, (2) enter the digits of my cell phone, (3) wait for the 2FA text and enter that code, (4) enter my password, and (5) select another device to sign out of.  What makes these even worse is that the sign-in is all or nothing; if I want to use Lightroom on one PC and Acrobat on another PC in the same day, under the same license, I need to sign in/out of the entire suite of software.  I am the ONLY person who ever uses my account, and find this to be a completely unneccesary and time-wasting hassle.  If Adobe knows which other devices are in use, why can't

This is less a "bug" than a willful slap in the face to paying customers. It 's very common for someone to have an employer-provided subscription to some products (like CC), and then to pay for another personally, (like Captivate). When that happens, Adobe forces you to have two separate profiles, and it's impossible to use apps from both of the subscriptions at the same time. You have to log out of one profile (which disables the the apps in that one), and then log into the other (with multi-factor authentication, no less), if you need to use the apps under that subscription.  Adobe refuses to remedy this.  It's a disgraceful and shoddy way to treat its customers; there's no reason why they can't just make them separate accounts that work on the same comptuer. Instead, they tell you to convince your employer to pay for all your products--which clearly is an attempt to get more revenue from bulk subscriptions. It's shameful. 

Hello everyone, today I created an Adobe Homework app idea that could be great.Application logic: A professional application for creating designs like posters, brochures, assignments, banners. I think Adobe Homework would be a great application if these features were included: Font Detection: With this feature, when you select text in an image using a special box, AI or an API will detect the font, allowing the user to easily edit the text in the image. Reducing Object Resolution: To prevent an object in an image design from being easily visible, simply click on the added object and select "Reduce resolution" to change the resolution as desired, making it harder to distinguish. Pre-made Patterns/Templates: Those in a hurry can save time by using pre-made patterns or templates.Interactive Designs: If objects in the design are allowed to be buttons or text boxes in the Edit section, the user can interact with the text boxes and buttons there in the "Try" section.&nbsp

More than once, I've had to click a shortcut to launch an Adobe App using the Shortcuts on the Creative Cloud Desktop.  I think good UX Design should be applied an provide feedback that the application is working on the process to launch the selected app instead of me having to wait a long time to see if the app was actually started.   

In the CC Desktop app, when going to Updates, there should be a link to the "whats new" release notes so that users can make a more informed decision on whether to update or not.   For example, if Photoshop has an update, over and above the internal link "View more...", it would be helpful to have a link to the full webpage:https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/whats-new.html

It would be useful to have a search tool to selecte inactive users at the storage section of the Admin Console. Otherwise an endless list of users is displayed where is impossible to select a specific user. Without this tool is useless to keep stored the files folders of the old users because is imposible to locate them.

Hi! 🙂In Express it is possible, with one Apple keyboard, with command + or command - zoom to change the view of the files on the screen. Why doesn't it work in the Creative Cloud app in teh "files" folder? Do we necessarily have to enter the image and manually click on + - at the bottm right or have I not yet found the solution that already exists? Thank you very much! 🙂
