Feature Requests

In advanced Photoshop tutorials on hair masking the problem of the edge color is solved manually outside the Select & mask window by adding a clipped blank layer and painting on it with a darker color. Why can't you implement this into the "Decontaminate colors" option? Now it just ruins the image layer (destructive workflow), therefore we can't adjust its mask later.  How it should be: 

Will audio scrubbing for animators ever be added to photoshop?  Seems to me if audio scrubbing is in Animate & After Effects it can't be that much of a stretch to add the function to photoshop.

Seriously, this has been being requested for nearly FOUR YEARS.

I want to reduce unnecessary key strokes when using PS.I'd like to be able to specify a default output format (.JPG for example) for the "Save a Copy" command.99.9% of the time, I'm saving as a JPG file and have to search through a long list and select it every time. If you think this will be useful, please upvote. 

If the Blend if is applied to a layer, we have to double click to open the Layer style window and turn off (uncheck) the Preview to see the layer without the effect.Firstly, it's 3 clicks (at least).Secondly, the window is too big and partially overlaps the image.Thirdly, if we changed (and applied) the sliders values more than once, the unchecked Preview shows the previous state. So, if we want to see the layer without the effect, we have to move the sliders back to their default position. My suggestion is to toggle the visibility of the effect in 1 click by clicking its icon.

I use layer styles a lot. Especially when assembling my game assets into the final product. Unfortunatly it doesn't take too long until their usage brings Photoshop down on its knees. Moving a layer around often takes 5 seconds until the layer even starts to move. At that point you can't use the mouse to move the layer precisely any more. I can just move it into the general area and then use the cursor keys to nudge it into place- taking several seconds after each key stroke to see the movement.I've watched my task manager and it seems that only the CPU is involved in those processes. My GPU is stuck at 0% through all of that. Please do something about that. Even having a rather strong PC doesn't make a difference. 

In some of the other warp preset options one can change the orientaion... top/bottom... left/right.Would love this option in Cylinder.Unlike everyone elso on the planet the products I have to mockup are not vertical in nature... cups, bottles, cans, mugs, etc.They are horizontal. Pens, pencils, shafts, handles, tubes, etc.Unless there is a work-around I have not found.Warp Cylinder is the perfect tool, just does not go the right direction.

Feature request: I love the artboards in Photoshop but I can't properly export layer comps now. Seems like there should just be a checkbox in the "Layer Comps to Files" dialog that says "Use Artboards". Adobe forum reference: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7953365#7953365

There are text prompts with the hotkeys for the Tools. Add the same for the preview checkbox (in Liquify and other filters)   Turning a preview on/off  with a hotkey is more convenient than trying to click precisely into a smaaaall checkbox. I didn't guess to check the letter "P" and I had to ask it here on the forum. It's not mentioned in the text prompt, though it should be.  

After painting in Clip Studio Paint for a while now, I really learned to appreciate the toggle to turn a brush into an eraser and back. Especially as I can assign that toggle to just one button on my Citiq remote. Photoshop has something similar but there's no toggle to switch between the modes. It would be nice it that could be added. At least a shortcut would be nice.

I want Brush Settings to have a function that can be adjusted. Thickness, embossing colorI would like Adobe Photoshop to develop a brush with functions that can be adjusted. Thickness, emboss Of the colors, patterns and samples I have attached so much, please.I really want it. I love Photoshop and I use it to paint digital oil paintings. I am an artist Photoshop can Draw and paint as realistic as possible. After I tried so many drawing programs, even Fresco on my tablet, I tried it. I still love working in Photoshop.I don't need much Just add the Brush settings function to have a function to adjust the thickness setting. Of paint and brush marks onlyThank you very much for developing Photoshop to be a wonderful program for me. I have been using it since version 2.5 20 years ago. I love it so much and I love you guys. That made it upThank you very much

My problem is:When I create a Workflow with the following steps, see below, I end up with images 2 to 3 times larger than when I Save for Web. I also need to resize horizontal and vertical images so the Long edge is 1200 px. Change FormatPNG16-BitsRGBSave Transparency Resize toFit - Long edge1200 px72 ppiDon't Enlarge Please add an option in the Apply Metadata task the reduces file size similar to the Save for Web option. I've tried all the options with no success.Or Allow us to Resize/Fit - Long edge in an Action or in the Image Size dialog box. The only solution that works for me is to create two Actions, one for Height and one for Width.  Please see the attached image that shows the same image exported via Workflow and Save for web.  Thanks, Hector Godinez    

Als Illustratorin muss ich oft den Anschnitt zur Druckgröße der Illustration hinzufügen.  Selten arbeite ich in der finalen Druckgröße, eher größer, manchmal bei Straßenwerbung kleiner. Mir wäre geholfen, wenn es möglich wäre, wie beim InDesign den Anschnitt direkt in der Photoshopdatei anzulegen. Dann könnte ich über "Arbeitsfläche" die Datei proportional skalieren.Das würde mein Leben leichter machen. 

When I scan old photos I tend to scan several at the same time to lighten the workload.  I love to keep the border of old photos intact - the tattered edges and slight staining gives character and shows the photo has history.  However the Crop and Straighten tool removes edges, cropping neatly into the photo.I would like to suggest an option to enable the photos' edges to be kept.

Hello there.   I'm attempting to create a 3:3 image (9 panel social media post) via PS Beta (my macbook is unfortunately too old to access PS via my Creative Cloud account). My question is this: is New Guide Layer a feature that PS Beta Web (Free Trial) has excluded? If not, how does one access it?   With appreciation, K. 

As a replacement to often cryptic and undecipherable clipping groups  . A way to simplify layer stack and ability to get a dynamic live masks from a separate stack of layers .    Those layers could be put somewhere in the bottom and just marked as a certain layer comp.  It would be working  same as  linked smart object.     The only difference is that the subject would be linked to the same documents group of layers and thus  working live.  Without necessity to open and edit outside files to make changes.   

I like  noise gradient option but  tweaking  HSB  range  for color selection is somehow tiresome.   Would be nice to just drop a few complimentary colors  there manually.   Maybe a special 3 point complimentary colors widget.   Also I would like a kind of scale gradient option  when I could select a  part of a range  and  spread or squeeze it  around certain  chosen point . That all would be super helpfull for colorizing initially b&w  design or photo.    AI is nice but it never does what you really want . 

As well as bothblend if sliders.I know I could do it by just copying  same layer  and restricting to say red or green .  Still having it all  working without multiplying layers would be nicer.  

I dont really dont understand why not possible to create extra icons for menu action like rotate, imagine size etc and also for own action script? Working in Photoshop would become quicker

it would be nice to have a selective color correction brush tool in the Photoshop, with which we could perform quick selective color correction on some parts of an image with just one brush stroke. The brush settings would be like a selective color correction panel. For example, I would set in advance that I want to add 10% yellow to the red colors, then when I paint on the image, it will carry out the pre-set selective color correction wherever I paint with the brush.At the moment, several correction layers have to be created for each selective correction, and I can control these with layer masks. It would be much faster if I could paint on a separate layer with a selective color correction brush (like how I can do the dust retouch on a separate empty layer). 

In current implementation  it 's absolutely useless . Please, give us an access to  height ,  roughness, etc  channels at least.      And  lets us composite / mix materials in Photoshop please.    I tried Sampler and I don't like it at all.  Would be so much more convenient to do it in Photoshop.    And I don't need any 3d preview at all, it never accurate anyway.   Just make live lighting  filter like in Affinity Photo.  Please, just let the sbsar smart objects have  height and roughness layercomps inside we could switch to in properties panel. Or better do the height as an extra channel like  in Corel painter   with add, sub  and height blend/depth combine  blending options.   Well, the  later  CorelPAinter  doesn't have really but why Photoshop couldn;t .Especially if it's recreatable by its usual layers. 

Maybe there is a way and I just can't find it, but what would really be handy would be a folder system to organize your LUTs. Similar to what we can do with folders in libraries. My drop down list is just too long to keep scolling to find the themed ones. If I had a way to set folders such as "Warm Summer LUTs", or "Holiday LUTs" that would be so useful. Thanks

Why is it so hard to import a multi-page PDF to a single photoshop file with each page on a sepeate layer? It only opens it as multiple files and then I need to break my arm making the layers manually. Alternatively, I can use a script I found on teh interwebz that may or may not be a trojan horse full of viruses taht will destroy my computer. Which option is better? Tendinitis from all of the pointing-and-clicking to duplicate each page into a layerd PSD or risking a virus on my computer? It seems like it could be fixed with a simple menu option to import the PDF pages as separate layers in the file. Yes, I'm aware there's a convoluted way to do it via Bridge, but it creates all of these funky additional layers.  Can a feature please be added when you open a multi-page PDF to have the option to open the PDF in a single PSD file with each page of the PDF on a seperate layer? It would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

Is there any way to make color lines showing image levels thicker, or make the area under the curve solid-colored as it was in earlier versions of ACR? Level adjustment which I was using for every image previously became almost useless to me in two most recent ACR versions. Particularly with new 4k monitor and senilis eyes, I cannot adjust levels in such way that use all the dynamic range of image but still not clipped.
