PROBLEM: Right now, if I make an adjustment layer in Photoshop, and I want to delete it (say I made a hue/sat adj layer and decide I want color balance instead), I select the layer and the mask becomes selected -- causing me to have to hit delete TWICE to get rid of the layer. This becomes frustrating and time consuming as you're trying to move through the edit process. Example of undesirable behavior: https://youtu.be/kKV_hqua2ss SOLUTION: Clicking on the adjustment layer DOES NOT select the mask, allowing you to delete the whole layer with one press of the delete button. If you want to do anything with the mask, you click on it (right, double, whatever).    

When will Adobe redesing top bar menu in Photoshop and other application like Illustrator, InDesign etc?Photoshop has still hideous menus since Windows 8.You make the best graphic design software on the market and you make us use this ancient menus.You have absolutely no problem to implement new menus on MacOS. They are nice, transparent and it's joy to use them. So why you don't make it for Windows 11?Windows 11 design principles are ready to use for more over a year.Just look at how awful it looks compared to MacOS. Thet don't even respect dark theme. 

Problem: When working on a project in Photoshop, I sometimes lose track of which brushes/erasers/smudge tools I've used and the history does not list those tools anymore. With so many brushes, it's difficult and time consuming to try and find the brushes I used originally and my project loses cohesion as a result. Solution: Allow the creation of a "tool case" or "brush/pencil case" -- a space that allows users to save a selection of brushes/tools to that project. This list could include any smudge, eraser, or brush preset selected by the user. Saving a new version of the project file also saves the associated "case" if one was created.While it is possible to duplicate a brush or move a brush to a new folder created for the project, this implies creating more brush presets and creating a new folder that the user may not want to keep permanently once the project is ended.Tying the "tool case" to the project allows users flexibility and avoids creating clutter on a user's interface a

When I'm masking a layer I often bring up the overaly with backslash.  When I do that, the foreground and background colours switch, so I'm constantly hitting "x" to switch them back. I would love to have the option to disable this behaviour - it feels that that should be the default.

The Magic Wand tool should be able to select objects by size. I use photoshop for Textile Design. I am often cleaning stray pixels on my files with the Eraser or Lasso tool. It would be extremely useful if  the Magic Wand could select by amount of pixels in an object. For example: Select objects that are made up of 5 pixels. Then they can all be deleted, recolored, etc., all at once. This would save Textile Designers so much time!

When saving 16bit PSD\PSB files as compressed, it would be great to have an additional option to select RLE compression. This would give faster save time than regular compression. For those that want maximum save speed, uncompressed mode now available in v23.5 and that is awesome, but if you want some of the benefits of both reduced file size and a faster save than regular compression, then RLE compression as an additional option would be a great add in future version of Photoshop. - vcx

When creating a new image, Photoshop used to set the canvas size to the size of the item on the clipboard. At some point this changed. While it still does show "Clipboard" as selected, the actual width and height seem to be whatever they were before, until I click "Clipboard". After years of working as a web developer, the muscle memory for "Copy Merged, File, New, Enter, Paste" is extremely strong and this change is driving me absolutely bannanas. Am I alone here?

Hello Everyone, As an illustrator I am having hard times while using freehand lasso tool in photoshop.. I don't think it can be modified in system preferences. the problem is when you are selecting a specific area with the freehand lasso tool you have to keep your pencil tip onto the pad surface and make continuous line or it will connect the first and the last touch points and make a shape that is not what you had in mind. The same tool in Adobe Fresco (which is designed for pads not for desktop computers) is way more easier to use even on desktop computer.. when you release your pencil the line that you drew remains as it is and you can continue selecting after rearranging your hand and it will connect the first point you make to the point you released your pencil at.  If this settings can be changed in preferences please tell me how..or if it can't be changed can this be fixed in the next versions? I don't see any reason why should photoshop have the traditional freeh

Can we get an option in the pen & shapes tool for hard edges (hard pixel instead of antialiased).

Hi. I want it badly I hope the Photoshop function will be improved.I hope that Photoshop will have a function that allows you to move at the same time by holding a picture drawn on more than two layers with a noose tool. Other programs have this feature, but Photoshop doesn't

There used to be a section in the neural filters to suggest ideas for new neural filters. I couldn't think of any at the time. But one thing I often need to do in photoshop is make rounded rectangle buttons for websites and apps. I have some actions setup to shorten the path to achieve what's necessary but getting there was a long road and it could still be easier. As it is there still seems to be no way to make a rounded rectangle selection using the marquis tool.  Today I was working on one and I had a thought as to how this could work as a neural filter. Supposing I had an image with a logo that was 2500x2500px that I wanted to make into a button for a website. I select the neural filter and from there I have some toggles and sliders on the right. I can reduce the height to 100px, I can widen the canvas to 300 px with a slider, I can slide the content of the image left and right (this image was square when we started but is now 100x300 so there is no space to sli

I have run into a problem while stitching a Pano. Even though the overlap is sufficient with 30-40% overlap. (The adobe support wasnt able to solve the Problem). I tried to manually align the photos in Photoshop and thought the auto align layers would just finetune the alignment that i have already done but it totallly messed up the order of the photos and did assebmle two seperate picture. Thus I thought it would be great if there was a auto finetune layers alignment that would just finetune the mannualy done alignment. This would probably able to do the pixel precise adjustment that we humans are not good at doing while we provide the rough alignment.(the Pano stitching Software PTGui Pro is able to stitch the photos to a Pano so it is possible to stitch this set of photos together.)

I think the title is self-explanatory.Would work exactly how the Polygonal Lasso tool works, but with the Object Selection Tool. Would be another "mode" similar to Object Select's already-existing Rectangular Select and Lasso Select modes.

I love photoshop, but it really needs a way to either expand/contract a work path (like you do with a selection) or the ability to use the line tool as a work path so that you can created vectored line drawings

Hello, Adobe!I am Your customer and I would like to provide You with an idea to enhance Photoshop capabilities.I was trying to remove the lens flare - meaning the reflections of light - from my mother's picture where she has eyeglasses on, but it proved to be quite impossible. So actually I don't know whether there is an algorithm/method to do that but I don't know it. And if there is no one, then I suggest that You should consider adding some kind of a smart removal method for those, which specifically would maybe - by choice - also be a valuable feature for Photoshop, since people are editing mostly for faces (as far as I know) and shinings from glasses must pretty obviously be one of the most disturbing properties in pictures.Well, that was my idea, for now. I'm quite sure it's a very "required for".

Moving layers into folders in Photoshop is non-trivial for complicated documents. Suppose a duplicate a layer, then desire to move it into a layer group; I have to click and drag my layer towards the top or bottom of the layers panel (guessing which direction my target group folder is in) and then play a little game of wiggling my dragged layer around the edge to get the layers panel to scroll up and down unti I find the right group folder. See Blender for guidance. With Blender's "Collections," I can press M and a menu appears at my cursor with a list of existing Collection folders. This menu can fly-out to nested collection (sub-folders), and also has a button for New Collection. By selecting any item or items in my scene view (which is a lot like a layers stack) and then invoking the shorcut, I can quickly move one or more items into an oranized location. I'd love to see the ability to do this in Photoshop through a shortcut (suggesting Ctrl+M since M is the marquee tool),

This suggestion was inspired by a tool that already works in Procreate. We could call it a dynamic pattern stamp. This tool should be able to repeat the pattern at each brush tip, and flexible the settings for spacing, angle, size of the brush itself. The difference between this and a common brush with a stylized tip is that it does not work on the basis of alpha channels, that is, it has no transparency, and reproduces the colors and tones of the chosen pattern. Thanks 

Hi,Is it possible to add a feature to lock one or more layers inside a smart object layer and when changing the shape of the smart object layer, those locked layers will remain the same?!

Select Sky in Photoshop produces a poor selection compared to select sky in Lightroom. The only workaround is to use sky replacement and copy the layer mask from the sky replacement group then delete the sky replacement group. It would help my workflow if the select sky algorithm from LR were ported to Photoshop.

I have felt in the last year or so Photoshop is simply less polished than it use to be. Computer hardware has improved and given us more cores and faster drives, but photoshop still takes around the same time to open and files seem to take longer to import. Tools seem to glitch out more regularly and the overall interface has barely barely been improved since CS6. I'm pretty unsatisfied with the state of it as a project and hope the stability and performance of Photoshop is something that is addressed and brought to modern standards soon

Can we add a preference to edit the information shown in the open file tabs. I would prefer to only see the file name and not have '@ 100% (Layer Name, RGB/8#)' added to each tab. This way I could see more open file tabs when I have lots of files open.

Good Morning!!Sorry to bother.Does anyone know if it is possible to invert the Raw camera panel, for left-handers?or from windows. so that I can work with the canera more fluidly.If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it!Thanks!

As a beginner i would find it helpful if i hover over a greyed out item and would see some tips on why it is grey. In my case it was because i changed the image to a Smart Object and the menu item IMAGE/Apply Image... was grey

Full functional Wrap tool and Puppet Wrap tool is not available in Photoshop for iPad. Pls. provide it

So Some thing I Really wanted to have is Plugins on the Photoshop for web, so even though it has limited features, it will still have unlimited Plugins, maximazing the features of Photoshop without slowing the loading of photoshop on the web. Also. I really wanted to have a stock adobe Photoshop or any Adobe product in general, a plugin, a one that can search google or anywhere for free images, I know that Adobe Stocks exists, but sadly I have no money as a student, and can't access the Photos without spending enormous amounts of time on the web. For school accounts thats the pain. a bonus suggestion is that if you have a lightweight edition for on the web so that some old computers don't need to make their computers go brrr before loading Photoshop for web, and a Professional edtion, of course, for no hard drive but insane ram people for some reason, any comment or continued disccusion that is helpful is highly appricieated. Thanks in advance!    (Please note the image attat
