Could you please reconsider how Adobe software distributes its configuration, cache, libraries, and support files across the macOS user account? Right now, it’s a complete mess.Some files are dumped into: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/others into ~/Library/Preferences/and yet more into ~/Documents/Adobe/, ~/Documents/Shared/, and so on.Even within Application Support, there's no consistent logic—some products create deeply nested folders, some split their data between multiple hierarchies (e.g., Media Encoder vs. Premiere), and shared libraries like color profiles, swatches, LUTs etc. aren’t even centralized. Where’s the global Color directory that should exist for shared ICC or .ase files? Instead, we have cryptically named or duplicated folders all over the place.And then there's the Creative Cloud Files folder… with a 200+ character identifier in its name. Why?This isn’t just about aesthetics. It:Breaks automationMakes backup and migration harderWastes time for power user

I would kike the ability to disable the prompt that comes after you try to edit a smart object.  A simple "do not show again" checkbox is all it needs to be. If I want to rasterize my smart object I can do that from the right click menu.  

Windows 11Photoshop 26.8It was suggested that I post this here after making a post reporting it as a bug. You can find that post here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/persistent-png-transparency/ When copying and pasting a png from anywhere into photoshop the transparency is stripped away and replaced with black.  This only happens with Windows OS but this is not a windows specific issue as it does not happen with all image processing applications. It is also not a browser issue as, again, it works for other applications.  I’ve read all the suggestions that people identify as "work arounds", but none of those steps can be easily automated into a keyboard shortcut and are not an actual solution. If you are reading this, please DO NOT comment with workarounds that cannot be automated.So my "idea" is that adobe fixes this age old problem.  Ether make a plugin that allows for pasting with transparency or create a permanent i

We need the ability to completely disable font auto-activation in ALL Adobe applications. Many of us already use font management software, and we don't need Adobe gumming up the works with its own unwanted version. This already exists in Illustrator and InDesign; please add it to Photoshop and every other Adobe application.  

Every so often I run into a situation where I've created a full bleed design but when I go to set it up to print I realize that I forgot to include the bleed area past the trim line. Where this is especially annoying is when it is a photograph or piece of art that I don't really want to enlarge to account for the bleed.A work around is copying and then reflecting the image on each edge and butting it up against the trim line. Also, you can generative fill the bleed area. Both of those tactics work, but they are annoying.It would be awesome if there was a simple button to press where you said "create bleed" and you could set the size of the bleed you wanted and AI would just generate the bleed for you without any fuss. This would have to be in Photoshop.Maybe this is just a me problem, lol, but we have the technology!!

@adobe If you're going to count everytime I press generative AI, please add a counter in photopshop instead of web browser so I can keep track of it.  

The "Line" tool.  You can adjust the line "weight".You can use options to add an arrow at the start or end of the line (or both).You can adjust the length and the width of the arrow.It would be nice to have a "lock ratio" option for the arrow, so that once you adjust the length and width of the arrow, if you engage the "lock ratio" for the arrow, then if you resize the line weight, the arrow dimensions would also change. Like if your line weight was "10", and you set up the arrow to be 5x5, and then changed the line weight to "20",  the arrow would become 10x10, if scale lock was engaged. Thank you for consideration. 

Hello, I'm a lifelong user of photoshop. But, one simple update I think would REALLY help bring in new users is if we had a (middle-mouse-pan) control option. Other software are much easier to use because of this. This is actually probably the primary reason I've heard people not use photoshop when coming from other software, and I think it's sad because I feel in 2024 we should be able to have this kinda of intuative control by now. Having middle-mouse-zoom, middle-mouse-pan, all in the right hand saves a lot of time, and is super easy to use for most people. I hope we can get this feature included in the future,Thank you for your time -  

Adobe, please add WebP as an option in the Export As dialog. The current option is not acceptable. I want the same interface options for WebP as PNG, JPG, etc. when I choose to export for the web. WebP is becoming very popular and I'm surprised you haven't included it yet.

lets you selecet a block or use lessco to pick a image to pick there

 It would be helpful to add the ability to scroll or toggle between different asset updates directly within Adobe Assets Reviews. This would allow reviewers to compare “before” and “after” versions more easily during feedback rounds, especially when reviewing visual changes or iterations.

Hi there! I am a concept artist and game texture painter, and both me and my employer studio choose Photoshop for our content creation and have done so for years. I like Photoshop's "Recent Colours" as a feature, but I wish it wasn't hiding in the Swatches and Shapes windows: swatches and shapes are good for graphic design, but are not really relevant in a painter's workflow.   I like to reduce the number of panels I keep open as I paint, so I propose two options to improve access to recent colors:Option A) Adding "Recent Colors" to other tools in Photoshop. Adding to 1. The Color panel (pictured); 2. The Color Picker (pictured); 3. maybe even the Brushes panel (not pictured, that was an afterthought that came to me while I was posting 🙂 ). There might be other logical places. Alternatively, for Option B), review this recent Ideas post from EdTechLiam, who proposed that "Recent Colours" gets a Panel of its own. https://community.adobe.com/t5/p

This is a post written in pure fury. I spent over an hour carefully crafting a mask using the "Select and Mask" feature. But with a single accidental press of the ESC key, everything was erased. Instantly.No confirmation. No undo. Nothing. If this is intentional behavior, then it's a massive disrespect to the time and energy of creators worldwide. This feature is as destructive as Frieza’s Death Beam. At the very least, please implement a confirmation dialog — something like “Are you sure you want to cancel?” That tiny addition could save countless users from despair. We creators ask for a safeguard, not a miracle. Please fix this. Signed, with the collective rage of warriors across the planet.

Dear Adobe team, you must see there is a growing demand for big file use in Photoshop. It is nice, that we have the possibility to save as PSB, but most other tools which i have to work with do not support PSB nor PSD. While Photoshop can read, open and edit BigTiff files, it is unable to save them. We are almost at the and of 2020, please make this a possibility. There are tools out there, that can do math operations Photoshop can not. Aswell as there is Photoshop, that can do things the other tools are unable to. Please connect this by allowing to save with the BigTiff file format. It would certainly expand the possibilities of what we can do with your software. http://bigtiff.org/

There are often times when I have a product box, and for the sake of composition, it would look much better if the box was facing left, but the photography I have points to the right.  It would be easy to just flip the box horizontally and improve the composition 100x, excep there's a bunch of writing and graphics on it, and it takes time to change the perspective of every single graphic, piece of text, or other detail that would make it obvious the box was flipped.  It would be very helpful if Photoshop had a smart flip that would flip the object, but detect the graphics/text (or even give an opportunity to select the elements that can't be reversed) and keep those elements facing the correct direction, but change the perspective/angles to match the newly flipped object.  

Please add a lens profile for the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f1.5 II Leica M-mount. It'd also be nice if we could manually add non-Leica lenses to the metadata. 

I understand that rationale (more or less) of removing the 3D features in Photoshop and making them their own set of applications.  But being able to view and edit a 360 degree photo in Photoshop is BARELY a 3D tool.  In point of fact, everything needed to manipulate and view that image can be done using standard mathematics, and neither Open GL nor Direct X need be involved. No one will be buying Substance to work on spherical maps. And Photoshop is the perfect place to work on spherical maps for use elsewhere, including the Substance suite. Please give us an ability to work on spherical maps in Photoshop, where it makes sense.

I was just chatting with a group of other artists about the need to convert a color into transparency sometimes, and we've all needed such a function, then somebody said that in GIMP there's just a simple button for it, "Color to Alpha."  It does exactly what we need and very easily.  In Photshop this is possible but very cumbersome, having to use the channels to make a selection, then apply a mask. Googling leads to 10 year old articles and people recommending plugins.  But yeah, I'd just like to suggest this as an official feature request. You know how in Photoshop you can use Replace Color?  And you can pick a color, and vary the fuzziness of the selection, then change the color to something else?  It would be just like that I imagine, but instead of changing the color, you increase the opacity of those pixels.

would be pretty cool if I could detect and extract text to paste into a document

Sou usuária do Photoshop Web com plano pago e venho, por meio desta, manifestar minha insatisfação com a recente remoção do recurso de Nitidez Automática (Sharpen) das Ações Rápidas. Esse era um recurso extremamente útil, prático e essencial no meu fluxo de trabalho, principalmente para ajustes rápidos em imagens promocionais e retratos.Desde a atualização de junho de 2025, notei que essa funcionalidade foi removida ou restrita de forma não transparente, mesmo para contas premium. Tentei seguir todas as instruções e atalhos possíveis, inclusive utilizando imagens JPG com compressão, e ainda assim o recurso não aparece.Gostaria de solicitar, com todo respeito, que considerem a reintegração da nitidez automática no painel de Ações Rápidas do Photoshop Web, pois essa funcionalidade fazia parte do motivo pelo qual escolhi manter um plano pago da plataforma.Entendo que simplificações na interface são necessárias às vezes, mas recursos essenciais não deveriam ser retirados sem oferecer alter

I can see the power of AI and frankly use it every day. In Photoshop I use the Generative Fill at least 20, sometimes even more times per day which helps a lot. I would like to see a real upscale feature [link removed by moderator] which does incredible job at preserving details while upscaling the image really nice. I've tryied all the build in Photoshop upscaling modes like Preserve Details 2.0 and what not, but nothing made actual difference and they all suck. It happens quite often I need to bump up an image so I can make the best use of it.So please do you're best and add a real AI Upscale future. I mean like a working one.Thank you!

It would be cool to adjust the density of the curve mask from this window)

I think it would be a better idea to apply the name of the Neural Filter within the Layer Panel, rather than just displaying "Neural Filter" for each element.  It takes time to open each filter to edit and you dont know which one is which, until you open them, or toggle the eye.  It would be much better to see the name at a glance.

Hello everyone, I think that the Gradient Map Properties window should have a button that reorders the Gradient map stops based on luma values (maybe with variations based on brightness...).

See this thread for a fulld description of the issue along with screen recordings:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/window-behavior/m-p/15321221#M865058 Between version 22.2 and 25.12 something changed in the behavior of tabbed winodows with a boarder around the image. Prior to 22.2 if I had multiple images open in a window and pulled the winodw area wider than the image to create a border, the border size would remain consistent from tab to tab. Now the window size jumps around all over the place when going from tab to tab. At the very least you should have a setting to make "window size consistent" when you have a window with multiple tabs.
