For Quality of Life Improvements

Hi, first, I’m coming from a good place with this feedback. In the latest updates to Photoshop, it feels like you guys have been pushing AI a little too much.

I understand that AI is inevitable at this point, and I’m not against AI being part of Photoshop. However, I hope Adobe doesn’t put all its eggs in one basket. Instead of focusing so much on AI, why not improve the software’s speed and performance? For example, moving a layer outside of an artboard can take a noticeable amount of time, which is a relatively simple action.

I would really like to see more focus on Photoshop’s speed, responsiveness, stability, software refinement, overall performance, and quality-of-life improvements. The Creative Cloud Fonts section also needs a lot of tweaking. Loading time is slow, there is no propper font search, scrolling through is such a tedious chore, etc.

I like how you combines the Light adjustments, new UI/UX for Actions window, etc. Those are great improvements, and they’re genuinely appreciated. More of this please and less of unecessray functions, we dont need notification, redandunt contents like my AI credits (image attahced).

Please keep improving what’s already there—not everything needs to be replaced or augmented with AI.

Strongly agree with your point, as a user for almost 20 years, some of the basic AI actions are great, but at some point it becomes annoying. Photoshop is a industry level program, that is focused on professional and precise output, and while AI is useful here and there, It just can’t be the main thing. I wish some tools, filters, and usability / program heavy and slow response would be improved rather then a new AI gimmick that tries to over simplify this powerful and high level program and make it something else.
