Style transfer filter art has some amazing offerings; it's not that I don't like the art that is available, but the big drawback is that it's NOT mine. My artwork is my profession and ultimately I don't want to use someone else's art in my professional work;  I would like to be able to upload my own artwork as a private style that I can utilize as an AI Neural Interface with my own photos.

Whether maintained by Adobe or Apple, Photoshop should have an always up-to-date Template that contains artboards for the many iOS devices in their various sizes/aspect ratios in order to create App Store screenshots. Something similar would be great for the Google Play Store (though it's more likely to be a subset of the most popular Android devices). It would save a lot of time. 

I love the simplicity and accuracy of the sky replacement tool, it is much easier than using the magic wand etc..would it not be possible to adapt this tool to add any back ground with one click , not just a new sky ?

Hi, It would be great if Adobe find a way to include seamless Pattern brush like Illustrator in Photoshop or at least an easy way to work around it. A simple brush stamp and angle will break the curve pretty bad and I need it to be seamless enough.thank you.

The newer versions of Photoshop really need to have network drive support!! I use Actions to save files onto network drives, instead of my local computer drive. However, since Photoshop does not support network drives, when I attempt to change the save location in an action, it also renames the file, which I do not want! This causes me to have to change the save location twice so that it's not renaming all of my files. I never had this issue with PS versions CS6 and earlier. Now it's a huge hassle to change my actions because I have hundreds of them that have a minimum of 10 save locations each. The only solution I was given was to save everything on a local drive and then copy them over onto the network drives. However, due to the large quantity of files and the multiple people that need to access them as soon as they are saved, that is not a solution I can use. The only work around is for me to go back and use version CS6. Really not ideal. 

Brief title for your desired feature: Inline Smart Object Editting How would you like the feature to work? Make Smart Objects editable without double clicking them. Add a drop down arrow so that you can see all of the layers (just like folders). Then, you can edit right there. If you have multiple instances of the smart object, you can watch them all update together. Why is this feature important to you? For one, I could edit more quickly. Also, with this functionality I would be able to edit projects in an 'environment'. If I'm making a backdrop for a stage (which I do), I can take a picture of the stage, and work on the project within the actual stage, and make a better composition that is more cohesive with the surroundings. When you're done, you can just export the smart object, it's already got the right dpi, dimensions, color mode.... it's done. I could paint light shadows in the main canvas over areas that are in the dark, so that I automatically make those colors brighter in th

Why is there no option to add arrows to the end of strokes using the pen tool in Photoshop. This seems like such a basic feature that could be very useful and would save me a lot of time / headaches of either doing a workaround with the line tool, or jumping back and forth between illustrator and photoshop for something as simple as creating a bent line with an arrow at the end. Please Adobe, add this very basic functionality to photoshop.

User Story: As a Photoshop for iPad user I want to be able to download multiple files/folders for offline use, so that I dont have to download them one-by-one for field (offline) work.  I stack and auto-blend product photos on my Mac. Retouching is however much more plesant on an iPad so I made a quick Batch Action, that save copies as Cloud documents.On an iPad I often want to work offline or with a weak connection (like in a café). Downloading full-res photoshop files over LTE is expensive and time-consuming because of large file size and therefore not useful for standard workflow. That is why I download files onto the iPad on my fast office Wifi before venturing out. This however is currently only possible one-by-one, which is very time-consuming.  Including feature to make multiple cloud files/folders available offline would speed-up my workflow greatly simplifiyng adoption of cloud documents. 

Since Photoshop 2021 does not support video memory of 1GB or less, the operation becomes extremely slow. Is it the soul to collaborate with Apple and buy a new Mac? It shouldn't be impossible to get support. I want you to support 1GB or less.Photoshop2021からビデオメモリーが1GB以下はサポートしないので動作が極端に遅くなる。Appleと結託して新しいMacに買い替えさせる魂胆か？サポートさせるのは不可能ではないはずだ。1GB以下もサポートしてほしい。

I would find it very handy if when using a brush, that you could right click and have access to the Blending Modes and not have to go to the top of the screen to change them.  

Need: In the fishing world, there is a demand for an application that can quickly change / hide your background.    Target Audience: Not tech savy. Most don't own computers.   Platform: Could be an enhancement to lightroom mobile or photoshop elements. Would also have use within photoshop.   Idea: User quickly outlines subject. Quickmask feature selects it. Use then can select different background effects/styles/blurs to alter background. Remove houses could also get a lot of mileage if trees are next to them. 

I am wondering why the adjustments panel does not also host the 3 kinds of fill layers, Solid Color, Gradient, or Pattern. it could be useful for graphic tablet users to be able to add a fill layer that way, using the same workflow: if there is a selection or a path, it is used to affect the adjustment layer. There's plenty of room in that panel for 3 more icons.

Full screen mode is one of the best features of Photoshop but I believe since CS4 or 5 it started hiding the document tabs and you can't bring them back without leaving fullscreen or with Shift F or other shortcut that I know of. Please undo this change in the next version of Ps or make it optional.

Time for a redesign of Photoshop User Interface. Windows are too big and take up too much screen real estate. Some can't be resized... Even on a 24" iMac M1, styles window for example, is too big and has too much wasted blank space... Just a quick decrease in size of a, still, badly designed window...      

Files that I have saved as .AIC are visible when I open illustrator 2022, but when I try to open them via cloud docs in Photoshop 2022, it says there is nothing.  Even in the main account hub, I copied a cloud .AIC file into a central folder on my computer and it was not there via Photoshop.  I have restarted the program and computer several times, as well as log in and out of my CC account.  

Came across this in Photoshop 23.0.0 / Windows 10 - In an 8 bit PSD file the move tool "knows" to ignore selecting adjustment layers, while in the same file at 16 bit it keeps selecting the adjustment layers. This is true to both clipping mask and stand alone adjustment layers. It does not select the Adjustment layers in 16 bit if: no layer mask or when the layer mask attached to it has something drawn on it. Very frustrating when compositing hundreds of layers. Does anyone have a work around?    *Maybe this was already in older versions - I worked on 2019 until few days ago and don't remember running into this.

The list of options for layers is rather extensive when you right click on a layer in the layer's panel. But one thing that seems to be missing is one for renaming the layer. Sure you can could click on the title name, but it seems "Rename" would be a common enough task that it could be added to the list of options..

I have recently needed to use the Export option for Layers to Files and found it could really be more helpful with these options added.If you could name the layers with the same options as Batch Rename in Bridge it would be very helpful.And if you could choose what order is used to create the files, top to bottom or bottom top, would be great as well.

The Content Aware Fill Tool is a great advancement, but I find it most useful for when you are trying to remove a single object. When I restore images I jump back and forth between the clone, heal and content aware fill option. It would be really nice if Content Aware Fill could be a stand alone tool or made an option for the Lasso tool, so when you select something CAF just kicks in. I use several keyboard shortcuts but would really think it would be a boost to productivity if could be accessed quicker.

Dodge/Burn is about the only tool that still remains destructive. Yes there are workarounds, but how about integrating the Use All Layers into the Dodge/Burn tool so it can finally be non-destructive.

It seems like there are many ways to create a vignette, but they often are attached to an other adjustment or filter. How about a stand alone Vignette Filter?

The white balance option inside the Camera Raw Filter is very useful for making color corrections. I would find it very useful if that tool could be found outside the Camera Raw filter and were either a stand along adjustment or made an eyedropper addition to Curves/Levels.

Other than how a Smart Filter and Smart Object are accessed, they are in effect the same thing. How about eliminating the two terms and just using one.... Smart Layer.

The crop tool's toolbar likes to steal typing focus. Normally if you're in the crop tool but haven't touched the ratio boxes you can use, say, the X key to flip the ratios. But if you've recently typed in a ratio and haven't hit Esc since then, you're going to get an error for an invalid number. Even if you've clicked back to the image. Basically, when in the crop tool, clicking on the image should take focus back out of the toolbar like it does with most other tools. This would be a nice little QOL tweak.

I'm using Photoshop 2020. If someone can confirm that this is "fixed" in 2021 (or later?) then please do, but the problem is as follows: When using Color Range, and sampling a color to be selected, whatever color you had as your foreground color before using Color Range is changed to the one you select in Color range. It's pretty frustrating as if I just want to paint, I now lost that color I wanted to paint in this area with. Perhaps there's some config option I can change? Is there a point to this feature? Because I think it's easier to simply sample the color afterwards than try to get a color you had before, which is now gone.
