We’re excited to hear your ideas and look forward to seeing your new feature requests!

You may ask, What can you do to increase the chances of being heard? 

 

How will the feature help your workflow?
Describe why you want the feature - include the problem you're currently hitting, and how this new feature would solve that problem. Before working on a feature, the product team will need to understand how your idea fits in, and may even come up with a better way of solving your problem.

 

One request per thread:

When creating an Idea or Feature Request thread, please keep requests for features to ONE request per thread. Doing this will allow others to vote on the single, specific feature and not confuse Upvotes amongst a list of feature requests.

If an Idea thread has multiple requests in it, you may be asked by a moderator to split the multiple requests up into multiple threads so others can vote. 

 

Enlist support!
If you feel strongly about a feature, and you know other people do too, get them to vote!

Example Idea thread:

 

"When using the brush tool, it would be great if it was pressure sensitive when using my stylus"
"I really need X tool, when will that be implemented?"


Additionally: Any extra detail you can provide on "Why you need the feature to behave a certain way", or "what problem this feature request solves" is very useful for the product team.

I think that Adobe should start considering to have a containerization approach regardings its products, you can't cross the fingers hoping anything goes wrong or broken anytime that Windows has an update.

 

Adobe should have its own (agnostic) separated from the system runtime that it knows will work always fine with its products. And if by any unfortunately accident something goes wrong you simply fire up another "container".

 

This has the advantage also to create several spins of the same products to satisfy different workflow.

 

Current Windows has plenty of native solutions to achieve this level of isolation from the base system, this would also reduce drammatically the help requests since, restarting any products would a matter of seconds and becuase you tested your products on the same environment of anyone and you don't have to deal anymore with thousando of different configurations.

 

I prefer sacrifice a bit of CPU overahead and disk space that dealing with broken  software that prenvents me to work, is one week that I photoshop broken and I can't revert a windows update because it fails everytime.

 

Think about this would a win-win for both you and your customers!

Interesting, you sent me there to see. You should just deselect it, it retains that state.

Of course if you need to get at it fast: alt/s/m/f - tab/spacebar

Attention Photoshop designers: For years I've sought the solution to keeping feathering in a selection that reaches the canvas bounds from feathering the canvas bounds.  (I didn't even know what the right term - the magic word - to discuss it is.) The default is to vignette the selection even if it includes top, bottom or sides of the canvas - not what I want 95 percent of the time. I only want the feather between parts of the  image.

 

I Just learned the solution involves Select>Modify>feather and a checkbox: "Apply feature to canvas bounds." It's buried, anything but intuitive. That decision is so critical to most feather setups that this checkbox should be in the main window alongside the feather size slider. And for my needs, the default should be "Don't apply feature to canvas bounds." Please fix it - put it front and center where any doofus like me can see and set it instantly and get on wth the task.
