Feature Requests

When selecting a specific tool in the tool panel, why don't you press the shortcut key continuously so that the detailed options of the selected specific tool can be selected in turns?

I'm very surprised that this isn't already a feature because almost every editing app has it, even photoshop express. I want to be able to correct the hue/saturation on all the colors in the picture. Not just the master. This is one of the editing I do mostly on my pictures. I give you a screenshot from the computer version and one from ps express.   Here you can see this is missing on photoshop for iPad.  Please fix this as son as possible  

I miss this a lot, even photoshop express has it. As for now you can only control HSL for master (all colours at the same time) If i want to make a blue lighter and with less hue and more turquoise i cant do that without effecting the other colours to.

I'm a visually impaired user, and working in "dark mode" allows me to spend more time editing as light backgrounds are extremely tiring. Especially it is very difficult to read black text on a white background. Meaning I have to get much closer to the screen, which causes neck fatigue. The options to customize the user interface and make it darker are great, amd go a long way to helping, but they are incomplete. Dropdown menus and right-click menus remain white. Screenshot so you see what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/wgvoDlj   This is an accessibility issue. The workaround is to color-incpvert everything on the screen using Windows accessibility shortcuts, but that slows down the pace of work, amd obviously permanently working color inverted or similar isn't a great idea when editing photos.   For context I'm running Photoshop 22.5.0 on Windows 10. Your chat support assures me it is not possible to change the color of these menus currently.    

As part of my regular work flow, I will recolor differnt photos of the same product (ex: stacks of folded blankets). To save time I will put all the layer adjustments into a layer group and use the layer menu>Duplicate Group to send the adjustments to the other photos (where I just then have to create new masks). But this can be up to 5 to 20 images. Using the drop down menu for each duplictaion can get tedious. There has to be a better way.

I don't want to have to click on a folder everytime I want to access a swatch. The beauty of Adobe over the decades was that they understood the concept, "why make a user click twice, when once will do." I guess the new generation of programmers grew up in the Microsoft ecosystem where multiple clicks were required to accomplish anything. Please stop fixing things that aren't broke. Production time means money, please stop wasting mine. Upvote it if you agree, please.

Hi, It would be great to allow vector strokes / paths / points to use the Alignment tool when drawing something in Photoshop.. just like it's possible in IllustratorCheers

I often spend long enough hunting through the preferences tab in Photoshop that it makes me seriously consider how much I really want to change a preference.     In mac os preferences, however, I just go right in and search for what I want.  I never even try to hunt it down manually; the process is so simple and fast.  Please impliment this in Photoshop.

When someone first installs Photoshop, and try to save a Photoshop document they will be presentet with a dialog asking if they want to "Maximize Compatibility". New users have no idea what this means, and it is extremely rare that a user would benefit from unchecking this option.  For Experienced users it's just a minor nuisance, and they can check "Don't show again" to get rid of the dialog box.   The setting is controlled from Preferences > File Handling > File Compatibility, and I propose simply changing this default from "Ask" to "Always". A simple change, that removes an annoying and unnesscessary dialog when saving, resulting in a better/smoother experience for new (and experienced) users, while still allowing users with special needs to go into Preferences to change it.  

The Move Tool currently defaults ot Auto-Select being enabled by default. This was changed a few years ago, we're past all the confusion this caused, so we've had time to see how well this change worked (or not).   Argument for keeping it: New users who don't understand layers can click on this on the image to move them, and this can be intuitive for someone completely new to Photoshop.   Unfortunately, in my experience (doing support on /r/Photoshop and holding Photoshop classes) this option being enabled by default causes more problems than it solves, and experienced users tend to turn it off. With overlapping layers it is easy to move the wrong layer as it will usually grab the top layer, making it "impossible" to move the desired layer.Example: Here, clicking the icon will grab the text layer. Not what new users expect!Example: Here, clicking the icon will grab the adjustment layer on top. Not what new users expect! Inexperienced users who are not aware of this settin

If someone installs Photoshop in one language (e.g. Norwegian), then want to switch it over to English, it is not intuitive. Changing language after installation is a shared UX problem for every CC app, but they employ different solutions so it's very inconsistent.If someone shows up with e.g. a norwegian-language Photoshop, then the steps to change language ends up like this:1. Quit Photoshop2. Go to the CC Desktop App3. Settings, apps, and change install language to English (International).4. Back5. Wait for list to update6. Click Install behind Photoshop and wait for installation7. Start Photoshop (it's still Norwegian!?). Not what the user expects.8. Go to Preferences, look around until you find the relevant language dropdown which now has both Norwegian and English in it. Change and restart.It would be *oh so much* better if we could start directly at step 8, show all languages in the list, and then give a message saying you need to restart Ps for the changes to take effect (it wo

Today, under Edit > Color Settings you can turn on warning for profile mismatches and missing profiles when opening images, but not when pasting something with a missing profile. There is a nice empty spot where the option would sit:   This feature would be very useful when copy/pasting from outside Photoshop where you very often end up pasting untagged image data - so it doesn't convert automatically.A very common practical scenario is when pasting a screenshot. To get the colors accurate you would first need to assign the display profile to the screenshot, then convert it to e.g. sRGB (or whatever you use for editing). So you can't paste a screenshot directly into a document (unless that document happens to be using the display profile).The dialog/warning should be similar to the other 3 "ask when"-warnings, and have two options:1. Choose a profile for pasted image using a drop-down (preserve color appearance)2. Don't convert (preserve color numbers)

Problem: Blurring causes banding/posterization (for 8-bit/channel files). It is most apparent with very heavy (large radius) blurs.   Gaussian blur is the most commonly used blur filter. I suggest adding a dithering option to it (for adding a diffusion dither). A simple checkbox would do:         Side notes: If someone has visible banding, they might try to use gaussian blur to blend the steps to fix it. This will often not work well (if in 8-bit) since Gaussian Blur isn't dithered. A workaround is to use the old Spatter filter set to Smoothness 1 (after the gaussian blur). Very few people would be aware of this, so it would be better if Gaussian Blur did a better job! 🙂

Hello, I want to share something..about artboard I need a button on window tab.Which can work for these things if I change movement, color, transformation object in Artboard. It should be automatically changed in all artboards. and this button should be with toggle tool On/Off  (can activate this button on my need.) actually my propose is if i want 10 designs for same content with different backgrounds and i want to change size or color of object i need automatically change in all 10 artboards. and you will understand with my attached file, if i want to change flowers's color or size i need it will change in all artboards. so that i can check preview at same time..how its looks like. Thanks i hope, photoshop will work on this.. for more speed or option..  

Visualize batch progress for photoshop 1.I often use batch processing, and usually need to process a lot of files； 2.When I was processing these files, I found that I could not check the progress of the processing； 3.If we can set up a window to display the processing status of these files,Similar to the picture with appendix （i design a sample） 4.I can better understand how far the work is going； 5.thanks and i hope photoshop will be better in the future.

I know these types of messages typically go straight into the "we know better than our professional customers" void, but hopefully someone at Adobe will listen for a change (Adobe lost my NLE business to DaVinci Resolve years ago, so I'm not holding my breath).  There's no practical or business reason for professionals to be relagated to only "Classic".  Frankly, Classic could be replaced with two menu settings in Cloud (Storage Location + Basic/Advanced View). Backstory: I'm an IATSE Cinematographer based in New York City.  I also shoot still photographs (as do many of us), but I have not pursued it as a professional career because up until 2019 I was legally colorblind and could not handle editing color.  In 2019 I purchased Enchroma glasses that effectively ended my colorblindness, so I have decided to pursue photography.  First off, using Lightroom CC on the mobile app is a joy - it works!  With my busy career, it is nice to be able to edit p

I'd go back to using auto-update IF I was notified when the update happened, and was provided with info on what changed. (Apologize in advance if this exists and I just haven't found it). It's extremely aggravating when rote skills you've been using for decades suddenly don't work, such as the Free Transform debacle (thank you for providing the legacy preference). And because of muscle memory it's challenging to update to a new set of rote steps.I'm a Photoshop user from the very first version. Back in the day every year or so you purchased the latest and greatest update. You knew going in things would change and you'd have to figure out all the new features. I finally turned off auto-updates from Creative Cloud because the velocity of change...and not knowing that something changed...has me pulling out my hair. (A common occurance over a lifetime with Microsoft product, but until recently never with Adobe).Most of us out there aren't hobbyists. We make a living via Photoshop as a prod

I have a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio and I would like the toolbar buttons to get double the size for drawing. It'd also be nicer to have the toolbar buttons only be drawing related IE: brush, eraser, arrow, undo, redo, flip canvas horizontal. Line

Or maybe just a few simple ones  like height map to normal filter  , and normal to  curvatures.  Working as a adjustment layers, i.e  updating on the fly   rather  than   smart objects filters where you have to save first. Once I tried "live filters" in Afinity Photo  I can't go back to Photoshop any more. They are so convenient  and so much more flexible.    Pairing such "live filters" with ability to do your own in Substance Designer woud be super helpful.I hate Sampler, it's so clunky and inconvenient , Photoshop could be a perfect replacement   with such addition.  

iPhones create HEIC photos with GPS metadata. This GPS metadata is lost when working on these photos in Photoshop and subsequently Exporting or Saving to a JPEG file. Please retain the GPS metadata when Exporting or Saving to JPEG. 

I would like to be able to create a grid from the center of the canvas. As it is, if I have a image (in this case a book template for printing) and the canvas is 2775w x 2175h (9.25"x7.25" at 300ppi) in order to create a GRID that fits (relates to) the canvas - so I can align objects to the "page" in my layout - I have to use a "Factor Calculator" (website) enter in fist value: 2775 generates to "factors" of that number (1,3,5,15,25,37,75,111,185,555,925,2775) enter in second value: 2175 generate factors (1,3,5,25,29,75,87,145,435,725,2175) Now in Photoshop Preferences >Guides, Grid & Slices > Gridline Every [choose a factor both values share: 1, 3, 5, 25, 75] this will create a grid that matches the canvas. In this example, 75 with two subdivisions worked well. It would be nice if Photoshop could just do this calculation for us by checking a box "Create grid from center of canvas" and then use whatever divisions you want - just like normal (every px/inch/cm/% etc).

I have many actions and develop more every week. The button mode panel has become a bit overwelming. It would be a great improvement for me to have the ability to categorize/folder the buttons with a hierarchal view or  pull down menu. You could say that i should use the action panel in its native view but the color coding that buttons offer is quite convenient to me. So the other suggestion is to allow the native view menu items to be colorized... but i like the buttons 🙂Thanks for listeningPierre

Despite Photoshop being installed on D:, the cache and various settings and temp files are in C:, my C: drive is a very small boot drive and fills up quickly with smart object .psb when working on a large project, which causes Photoshop to be unable to save my working document when it fills.  This doesn't make any sense, I'd rather the temp was on another larger drive. When I have tried to manually move the temp folder location to a larger drive, Photoshop crashes and will not load.  

Currently, you cannot creatie a custom brush that utilizes adjustable hardness, even with a feathered edge. This significantly limits the usability for flexability of custom brushes and confines an artists's creativity. I would like to see the hardness slider become available for custom brushes that have a feathered edge. Allowing for custom brushes to have a hardness slider would be extremely useful. There are many instances where, in creating a custom brush, being able to adjust the hardness would make the use for the brush singificantly more versatile and tre-to-life.

app.layerComps is a common command in some code I've written for Photoshop/ExtendScript. I'm trying to recreate the same functionality in a UXP plugin and hitting blockers. Layer Comps is a lovely feature, albiet perhaps a hidden gem. So I hope this is just a low priority for the API - not a sign of a feature on its way out. Thanks for taking the time.
