Hello,is it possible to put the function to select the number of Threads. This function is allready available for the RAM. My Threadripper is onlay used about 14% when I use Photomerge for Panoramas for example. In other programs (like Premiere Pro etc.) it could be also integrated. 

Alt [ and Alt ] change layer selection with NO option to disable. Don't confuse this with move layer.   This is another example of doubling up hotkeys and in this case NO option to disable. As brush size is [ or ] this is VERY disfuntional. I had to change my hotkeys for brush size to avoid this issue and disable other hotkeys becouse there is NO WAY TO DISABLE ALT [ or ALT ]

Why can't Adobe standardize the functioning of adjustment sliders across Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera Raw applications. In Lightroom, for example, you click on the adjustment slider and then the up/down arrow keys increase the values of all adjustments (except Exposure) by increments of 5 and Shift+arrow keys by increments of 20, but in Camera Raw you click on either the name of the adjustment or the slider and in Photoshop you only click on the name of the adjustment (e.g. Contrast) and then the up/down arrow keys increase/decrease values by increments of 1 and 10 respectively. Similarly, to reset the values of an adjustment, in Lightroom you double click the name of the adjustment, but in Camera Raw you double click the slider and in Photoshop you double click the name of the adjustment. Since my workflow includes all three applications, I find this disconnect very frustrating. 

Please kill all unnecessary drop menu. Photoshop first. All Adobe product next.

Sometimes I have text with different sizes inside the same text box and it's quite common that I need to resize the text, proportionally, but using the Transform Tool is not ideal, because it resizes the text box itself, which is not always the goal. Someone suggested a "solution" here (https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/change-text-size-without-transform-tool/m-p/12823671#M630782), but there's an issue with using a shortcut to add X amount of points. All text will be added X amount of point, but that is not how percentage works, so it will not keep the relationship betwen the different text sizes. Example:Title at 50ptsSub title at 25ptsTitle is double the size of Sub title Adding 50pts to each:Title is now at 100ptsSub title is now at 75pts, which is not half of Title.

I had just finally found out PS Mix/Fix was discontinued and that to continue my work, now I could only download my incompleted projects from before the discontinued app off of adobe assets, which I assumed are the right sizes. Now I am running a trial of the Photo editor grand finale known as Photoshop on a tablet and I thought it should be easy enough to perform the same type of "cut out" layer work as to fix little details in layer images, i.e: different colors, sizes, etc. but it's proved to be almost physically impossible. It's so hard to even size the image layers so that they actually match, as there's not even a manual size adjustment anywhere in sight. So as a last resolution, I tried the healing brush to clone the colors I wanted to produce and it proved absolutely impossible, unlike Adobe fix at every level. . I guess I still don't understand why this happened, how there's no information online that a free program (PS Mix) is replaced by a much more difficult applicatio

This spring-loaded tool behaviour really messes with my painting workflow. I really do not like it and I think it would be a very sensible decision to have it be optional. I have years of muscle memory being thrown off by this feature I don't need. Please implement a simple checkbox on the tools preferences panel. Thank you

I am using an XP-Pen Star G640 graphics tablet in relative mode (mouse mode). This mode does not support Windows Ink and I am therefore unable to use pressure sensitivity with Photoshop. This is not the case in other programs though (e.g. Medibang Paint Pro), which still support pressure sensitivity without Windows Ink being enabled.I have seen multiple people looking for a way to have this mode enabled and be able to use pressure sensitivtiy. Being able to do so would be extremely helpful for me since as for now I am not able to use Photoshop that way. This relatvie mode is more comfortable for my wrist and my work-flow and being able to make use of pressure sensitivity is quite important for me as an artist. I am unable to work properly without those two and therefore wish that this feature would be added to Photoshop so I can make use of Photoshops great variety of features and tools. Best regards.

I love using Chrome OS also Like to edit my photos. Do not know what product I can use. Please help.

I just found by accident something amazing about Layers panel! It is possible to manually expand / collapse all 'layer sets' at once: 1) of same level (clicking left-mouse-button between 'eye' and 'layer set' while holding Ctrl) 2) of all levels (clicking left-mouse-button between 'eye' and 'layer set' while holding Ctrl & Alt)* * of all levels - starting from the level we clicked at, so only current level and all lower of that level 3) of all levels belonging to one layer set (clicking lmb between 'eye' and 'layer set' while holding Alt) Currently from dropdown menu of Layers panel we can only 'Collapse All Groups', that is also recordable. Please add another (also recordable via action / script) item to that list: 'Expand All Groups'. Also to imitate the behaviour of collapsing / expanding layer sets of only one level, make detectable the Alt key when clicking both menu items. For the Actions / Scripting also the opportunity to enter the specific layer Set name / id / itemIndex w

I hope on the next update for photoshop ipad version to put the feature of change the direction for Herbew and Arabic letters

Please stop with the pop ups in the product try to get click to other marketing stuff...  It creates bunch of extra clicks and unnesscary distraction friction in my workflow...   PLEASE FOCUS ON CHANGES THAT MAKE MU LIFE EASIER - for example a defualt swatch labrary so I do not have to do extra 5/ 10 clicks to load the brand colors every new document I create.  

Trying to export a gif is super hardware intensive for creating a 600kb file – as it stands right now I have to shut down every other program on my computer to give PS my full 16gb of ram, and even then if I change the "lossy" settings everything shuts down. 

I've seen myself in need of some kind of "smart folder" feature.Pretty much the same (or similar) behavior as Smart Objects, but where a clone folder (slave folder, if you will) will mimic the master folder. Unlike a Smart Object, there's no need to go inside the file, make the changes, save it, go back to the main document and, if more changes are needed, do the same thing again. In certain scenarios this can be a workflow killer. Also, Smart Objects have two issues in my opinion:1 - Their dimensions are 99% of the time NOT the same as the document (unless we create a workaround, which is almost never the case) so we never really see how the changes are affecting the document itself in real time2 - Once the Smart Object is created, it's not that simple to rename its name (not the layer's name, but the Smart Objet's name itself, the .psb file). There's a workaround, but it's extra clicks and it kills time. So having a Smart Folder would allow the user to add/delete/modify elements

Need to have the bility to save colors swatches

PEN TOOLI make a shape with the pen tool, I then make a smaller shape on top and subtract it from the larger shape underneath, thus creating a hole.I still want to be able to manipulate the shape, I dont want to rasterize it, I want to keep as a shape.But i want to fill the 'hole' inside with flat colour.There is currently no way of doing this, only making the colour inside as a separate layer.But I want to be able to manipulate the whole selection still. Please photoshop, can you work on this feature?Thank youSally

I always found it odd that you have to double click on the Color Fill adjustment layer to change the color. It would be more convenient if you could change the color of the fill using a color picker that shows up in the properties panel, similar to Hue/Saturation. Seems like the behavior should be more consistent? Nothing earth-shattering, just a simple quality of life thing.

I often ask myself year after year, what could photoshop be possibly adding as features in order to keep pushing the limits of its system requirements. Here I am with a pretty high end gaming laptop having problems running something that years ago I could run on a junk computer that someone Frankensteined out of used parts. Why now, do I have to STRUGGLE to keep using photoshop with a laptop that can handle games like Total War Three Kingdoms on high graphic settings?What I would like to ask the Photoshop team to do, although they've created this seemingly pointless void to request this within, is that they stop pushing the system requirements up. Just keep it compatible, is that so complicated? Lean and mean is better and if you want a special software for the highest end graphics artists to use and the highest possible levels, then maybe another edition with even more features than we've had before should be added. For the standard Adobe Photoshop use, it's unnecessary to h

It would be wildly useful if when doing an export (to .jpg, etc, not the quick export to PNG) that it would remember where you last save an export from that project. If it hasn't been exported previously, for it to default to where the .psd file (or source file) is located. This should be saved within the .psd file, since it requires you to save after doing the export. The quick export to PNG goes to the same location as the source file and that is great. An alternate option would be have a button on the export screen to go to source location.

I often use nested groups to organise layers and content within the layers panel. example:- group:navigation bargroup: button1layer: button1 shapegroup: button2layer: button2 shapegroup: button3layer: button3 shape when using the Auto Select option "Group" the upper most parent group is selected but it would be useful for me to have options "parent group"(upper most group) and "sibling group" (this items group) or something with similar wording.  so I can auto select just the indiviual button group instead of the navigation bar group. thank you

Illustrator and InDesign have supported this OpenType feature for many years, but Photoshop has not. This is very annoying for us type designers, because this limits our work, it also makes the user experience inconsistent among these 3 important Adobe softwares. References:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/features_pt#tag-ss01---ss20

Hello,Wouldn't it be great if we'd be able to scale animation keys on several layers at once, with the alt key ?It works fine for one layer, but of course most of my animation are images that are "linked" together with animated opacity, so if I scale one, I lose synchronicity and I have to do it all over again.

There is a Content aware Fill (which works better and better in every update!)There is a Content aware Move tool (which cuts a selected fragment and places it into another area of the same layer). What about making a Content aware PASTE to work with different layers?For fast compositing without precise manual masking. Would be great! Practically, it's similar to the Content aware Move tool, but should work between different layers.So, you've already got this functionality inside, just add it to the Paste menu as a new command.

For some reason Photoshop does not allow to create a monochrome pattern of a selection in a Layer Mask. But once in a while I like to use a pattern for e.g. an adjustment, or alpha.   Please make this work.     ps 'Topics help users find your post. Please select one or more topics.' But none of the topics applies - I just slected all, because choosing is mandatory.

Can we please have ALL saved files added to the recent files list?Or even better, a "recently saved" files list?Quite often I start a new file using the copy buffer... then I "save as", or "export as" or "save" as a filename.I think I've saved it to My Documents, or the Dekstop ( Win 10 ) but it's not there, because it actually went somewhere else - one of the last folders I used, maybe weeks agon.I then search my entire computer, network drives and external drives looking for the image - sometimes I never find it, or maybe years later(!)If this feature already exists, then I apologise and look forward to being called a n00b and shown where it is. ;o)Thanks!
