Feature Requests

Adding a smoke effect in Photoshop will be amazing, and generating haze similar to the fire generator is also a great option.

The popup help for tools and panel items are too helpful. They are annoying and get in the way. I'm constantly swatting them away but they always come back, like mosquitoes. Please provide an option to suppress them, they drive me crazy.

Suggested Feature for Photoshop Hue/Saturation Adjustment Panel (Especially with Prominent Colors):Currently, when changing a color using the Hue slider, users have to manually rotate the slider to find the target color. This process can be time-consuming and lacks precision.  Proposed Feature:-Allow users to select a Source Color (the color they want to change).Then allow them to select a Target Color (the desired replacement color).Photoshop should automatically match the Source Color to the Target Color by adjusting Hue, Saturation, and Brightness accordingly.This would make color replacement more accurate, faster, and user-friendly.

Smart objects are fine   but  sometimes saving  complex image in 32 or 16 bit ppix , A height map for example . with lots of pixels   just to update smart objects  takes forever .   it's especially annoying when  you  need an immediate  feedback from filters applied on a smart objects .   The whole system is non-destructive  but  slow and not real time .       A huge speed up would be if we could use RAW format which saves  huge files almost instantly . But then  it takes manual update   of smart objects and RAW size/channels  popups  .    PLease Adobe look into it and make it quick and seamless please.    Perhaps with  text side files that a smart object could reed necessary info from. 

It 's nice we coud apply non destructive filters on smart objects  but sometimes it's necessary to have real time feedback FX effects provide .   For example would be nice to select  a channel , not only layer alpha  to chose what emboss effect works from .  An update to bevel&emboss FX options please .     I know it's possible to do with group's  blend if   but it complicates  the layer stack a lot .   Would be so much nicer just as an option  in  emboss fx.    Also would be nice it respects 16/32 pixel depth to show stepples emboss too.    Could be useful to produce  real time height to normal map  for example.

As a long-time Photoshop user, I find managing many open documents difficult because tabs can only be reordered by dragging to the end. I'd like the ability to insert a tab between two existing tabs in the tab bar. This would greatly improve daily workflows. Additionally, since Creative Cloud prices are rising under the banner of AI innovation, it would be more valuable to strengthen core usability features (like tab handling) that affect more users—before investing further in niche AI tools.

Hi Adobe Team,Please add support for uploading custom fonts (.otf/.ttf) in Photoshop Mobile. This feature is essential for branding and design flexibility. Apps like Canva and IbisPaint X already offer it, and it’s a must-have for staying competitive in mobile editing. Thanks! — Atharva

In the Photoshop Android beta, renaming text or layers is a time-consuming process we have to dig deep into the settings just to make a simple name change. Please consider adding a double-tap to rename feature for text and layer names. This would save a lot of time and reduce the frustration of going through multiple menus. A simple and intuitive rename option (like double-tap) would greatly improve the mobile editing experience.

Bring curve text into the web version I have a chromebook and can only access the web version. ThanksShelley    

There are many, many (potential) Photoshop users and users of other Adobe products for who a monthly subscription just isn't affordable. They simple don't use the products often enough for a $20 monthly subscription. I estimate that for every heavy Adobe user (designers/photographers/etc. ) there are at least 50 users who love Adobe products but use it less than 10-15 hours a month. If Adobe would create a credit based payment system, where you pay, for example, $0.50 for 1 hour of product use, I believe many of them would start their favorite Adobe product(s) again. If only 10% of then spend $5 a month, Adobe would double their revenue from Adobe design products. I, for one, would definitely start using Photoshop again if such a system would exist. I tried many alternatives, but nothing is as good and intuitive as Photoshop. And it would be far more fair as well. Right now, someone who uses Photoshop for 5 hours a month spends as much as a full time designer who uses it all

There should be an option to disable the automatic trimming of exported elements to their transparency. The trimming makes it problematic to easily place the exported elements in other softwares, e.g. 3D and compositing.

I think it would be a very useful feature if Patterns could be set to follow the direction of the Pattern Stamp tool brush Currently, even if the brush itself is set to rotate and follow the direction of the mouse/pen, the pattern doesn't. It keeps the same relative position to the canvas. I would like to be able to set the pattern to follow the brush and curve/distort etc appropriately.For example, if I was making a cobblestone road, and had a suitable pattern, I'd like the alignment of the bricks to be able to follow the alignment of a road I paint, like so...The Warp tool can be used for similar, but I want to be able to draw complex shapes/lines and have the pattern follow along properly.Thanks

With the Creative Cloud, upgrading versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign feels simple, but not seamless. Every upgrade requires manual effort to customize with every new version number / beta version. It would be ideal if preferences, shortcuts, actions, workspaces, panel settings, etc, could pull from a universal repository so that tedious step of customization be eliminated. 

PS 2025 runs video rendering with Media Encoder settings directly.The lack of this option prevents PS 2025 from being used for color finishing in professional video formats.It is unfortunate that having the same render engine as Media Encoder the video export submenu is missing in DPX the 25 frame rates of the E.U Pal system.Those of us who started working professionally with Adobe Photoshop around the year 2000, even though it is still the Swiss Army Knife of color to date, find it impossible to make specific corrections in professional video and film because we cannot adjust the exports in Media Encoder 2025.I agree that the future goes by AI but the creative artisanal work in P.S. is being castrated step by step....... Are you aware of the problem ?Enter the video export submenu of P.S 2025 and maybe you will understand the term Adobe's neglect and lack of professionalism.Slowness, lack of frames per second adjustments and new formats that Media Encoder 2025 has, with the aggravatin

All images in Photoshop now have the Generative Fill toolbar floating across the bottom and it gets in the way. It's not possible to dock that toolbar anywhere in the UX and while there's an option to "pin it" to a location, that toolbar location is pinned for only for a specific image.  If you are working on multiple images and select a different open image, the Generative Fill toolbar jumps back to floating over that newly selected image. IT'S ALWAYS IN THE WAY and covering up the bottoms of my images! I assume most folks (like me) are not using Generative Fill with each and every image, so I'd rather that the toolbar behave like the other tool sets and options (eg. having it across the top of the screen or as a docking panel on the side).   

I have a request - I'm nearly always bamboozled saving JPEGS from PS. When I save, I switch to another application to send to clients. It happens that I forget to pause and wait for the quality sllider to pop up. It's always delayed, and I always move on too quickly. Wouldnt it be great if those settings could be defaulted in the PS settings OR could be baked into the initial save options.  Does that make sense!? Thanks! -J

The paint bucket leaves a white edge between the fill and line, and this has been so for ages.  Easy fix: By adding an option that lets you expand the fill by -- pixelsBetter fix: On top of that option, change the algorithm so it works more intuitively. Extra option: background color selection, so the tool knows what color it can fill.

When I want to export an empty image, no matter what way, I get the warning "The image is empty" and I'm not allowed to export it.This is meant to be feature I guess, but webdesigners do need empty images sometimes.See image: 

Hi Adobe Team,I'm a frequent Photoshop user and would like to suggest a small but powerful feature: the ability to change the color of document tabs (similar to how it's done in After Effects or Premiere).This would greatly help with visual organization, especially for users who work with many files at once and need to switch between projects quickly.Thanks for considering the suggestion, and keep up the great work!Best regards,Lucas

Photoshop Camera raw should add photo references just like in Lightroom 

Are there any suggestions/solutions for those of us who wish to disable or block AI tools like Firefly or the generative AI within Photoshop? I understand I don't actually have to use tools I do not wish to use within Adobe programs, but I think it would also be nice for some of us with strong ethical opposition to generative AI to have an option for it to not consistently pop up in our feeds or have our work training AI models without permission (hence why I disabled the content analysis option for my account).   Title edited by mod

I use the pencil tool a lot, but the shortcuts don't support mode switching for the pencil, hopefully it can be updated in the next version!

Hey everyone As a freelancer, I recently worked on a small UI/UX project for a party game  and used Adobe XD for prototyping and Illustrator for the visuals.It was a fun challenge to design a clean, mobile-first layout with custom icons and simple user flow. 

Hello Adobe Company,    We know that adobe is most popular for adobe photoshop software. This software we can't use in Android only use it PC. Recent time we know that our phone is powerful. We use it heavy gaming, video making etc. We have no graphic design software. I am a graphic designer and I work on mobile. We use pixellab software, picsart software, Lightroom. But we have not many tools that's way we do not make any design professionally. I hope you can understand my or other people problem. We need a Photoshop mobile software.     Please create a Photoshop mobile software. I am highly request that please make this type app. We need this app because We can't build a PC for money problem. 

Bei der Fotobearbeitung hat man i.d.R. das "Ebenen"-Fenster permanent auf dem Bildschirm, und daneben auch andere Fenster, mit welchen man regelmäßig arbeitet. Das Foto hat Platz im Hauptfenster, und es ist von Vorteil, wenn dieses nicht allzu klein ist. Dabei soll das Bild darin nicht hinter schwebenden Fenstern verschwinden - eine klare Teilung zwischen Haupfenster mit Bild und "Bedienbereich" statt Chaos. Ich nenne es Ergonomie. *Falls PS in Deutsch läuft, ist das "Ebenen"-Fenster um bis 1/3 breiter als in PS in Englisch. Auf meinem 27"-Bildschirm macht es etwa 2 cm aus, wenn ich als Fontgröße "sehr klein" wähle (siehe Anhang). Sonst ist der Unterschied noch größer. Auf meinem kleinen MacBook Air ist dieser Unterschied sogar 40% (!).Eine solche Platzverschwendung fällt negativ auf, und ist meiner Meinung nach völlig unnötig. Von Adobe erfuhr ich, dass dies kein "bug" sondern ein "bekannter Nebeneffekt der Lokalisierung" ist. Wozu es gut sein soll habe ich nicht erfahren.Ich denke mi
