Feature Requests

Hey everybody!  I would really like to be able to use the erasure tool with the functionality of the brushes - so that you can erasure with chalk structure, or ink lines, aquarelle etc. It seems the erasure tool is quite 'Other era' still while the rest of PSD is so advanced.    I think all photoshp users would seriously benefit from this. What do you think?

It would be helpful to be able to Search inside the PS Brush tool by the Name of the Brush

Better text rendering by using browser rendering engines (ex. webkit, gecko) to get a better idea of how a design might look in a browser.

Photoshop could use a interactive Mirror Paint and Seamless edge/border painting function. Painter has had this feature for about 10 years now.

Hi, when I right click a layer, for example to copy and past a layer style, there are eight rows of color options 'in the way'. I would like to disable the layer color options in this menu, is this possible? It's really redundant and it should be put somewhere else, or at the very least at the top of the list.

I'd like to suggest a slight improvment for the frame tool. Currently, the frame tool preview shows that you can use this tool to create a shape if there is one to create by simply dragging it over a shape and creating one. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. I'd like to see if it could be made to act like the preview window. Maybe act like the magic wand tool or even the lasso tool. Otherwise, the tool seems to be a shortcut to clipping masks using shapes. It would shave so much time if it worked like the preview shown. It blew my mind until I attemped to use it. It took me a while to figure it out, but I am still excited at the prospect. Keep up the good work!

Undo stack in the menu looks empty, when the type tool is active. Only when clicking away from the type tool the undo stack becomes visible again. Also, undo while typing is difficult, the state jumping too far.

About Polygonal Lasso Tool in Photoshop.... Hi, i am Alexis Gervais and i do work a lots with the Polygonal Lasso Tool in photoshop....As we select the contour of a shape or more precisely with a lot of details, it happen that i click more than a 50 or a 100 time with my mouse and some time before i am completed i accidentally double click and it close the shape but i am not finish and i would like to go back one ☝️ step to reopen the closed area to keep going with my contour work.  Alexis Gervais

移動ツールを選択中、レイヤーとグループの切り替える為のショートカットが欲しい。その時、自動選択のチェックもキーでオンオフできるとありがたいですね。この機能の実装により作業効率がアップする方は多いと思います

Dear community, I was designing some project using some main colours and I see some not so comfrtable things... Changing main colour in many objects is for a long time, so why not to use one central colour (variable) to change all of the same colours. So, what do I mean? Imagine having one more field in color picker, where can I write down the variable name, or create a new variable for a project. This field will have a biggest priority in a color picker, so if I change the variable, Photoshop will automatically change the hex and other data in the color picker. Example:I create a variable --white: #ffffffThen in a colour picker I write down in variable input field it's name: --whitePhotoshop will automatically change the colour hex to #ffffff and other data for this hex as normally.Then I think, #ffffff is not good shade of white for me, so I change the variable hex to something else like --white: #fbfcf8Photoshop will automatically change all objects colour using

This would be great; and it's unusual, Adobe hasn't implemented this yet (or did I oversee something?).It's obviously a very popular file format, great features (good codec, variable bit depths, alpha planes, depth maps...) not exactly "brand new" - why isn't an export function implemented yet, does it have to do with license fees from MPEG - or is it on the roadmap already? On macOS + iPadOS it would of course be very practical for cross-app workflows as well...Anyway I think it absolutely makes sense, thanks in advance.

I could find that option in Liquify but if there is none, it should exist:When wanting to deform a shape in liquify, there is an option that we can turn on some other layer to be above or underneath the one we are currently working on. But there would be nice if there is an option of turning on some solid color layer beneath all of those so that we can better see how we are deforming current layer. Like shown in the image below, in this kind of situations it is difficult to see where the edges of inner part of the shirt, which is one layer, meets the front part of the shirt and to adjust the joint precisely. So if we had an option to turn on some solid color background (color that we can choose from a palette) that will be beneath all layers it would be very helpful

Hello, I am trying to learn perspective by doing exercises in PS to save paper and take advantage of the quicker workflow, but I am hitting a solid wall when it comes to figuring out how to measure and divide in PS. For example, if I was to draw a cube using pen and paper, and then subdivide the cube so that it had 9 faces on every plane, like a Rubiks cube, I could simply take out my ruler and divide my first line into 3 equal sections and have them converge towards the VP. From there I would just use basic techniques, like those in How to Draw from Scott Robertson, to multiply and divide until I got my desired result. Essentially I am just looking for a ruler tool to measure my lines so I can divide them evenly and construct the underlay for my drawings and paintings. Is there any such feature in PS? To better illustrate my problem I made a simple image, please see below. Thanks for your time, and please excuse my sloppy writing in the image.

The main Photoshop application icon looks too small on the taskbar, and the background color is too close to the taskbar.  If we look at the contrast, it is even more obvious.The background color of the PS icon is RGB (23, 23, 23), and the color of the Windows taskbar is (32, 32, 32). The difference between them is only 9. For comparison, the edge brightness of other icons is at least (80, 80, 80), while more icons are between (90, 90, 90) to (110, 110, 110)

I use a workflow where I send images from LR to PS by selecting a sequence of images and choosing the "Edit in > Merbe to panaroma in Photoshop" option. The settings default to the same "Auto" & "Blend images together" every time I do this. I wish it would remember the settings I used last time (just like LR does when doing panoramas) as I always use the same settings.

Hi, As many users i have recently begun seeing the bugs with the normal and height map generators. As a texture artist, i do not use the additional 3d tools in adobes toolbox but i do use these. So it is an awful shame for them to be moved behind a paywall due to their technical issues with the current photoshop build. For this reason i suggest you create some kind of "3d core" that is included in the Creative Cloud All Apps setup, which would include access to these generators and very, very basic tools. Who knows, having convenient access to tools of this type could help encourage creators to bridge the gap and join the substance crew as well, instead of moving on to clip studio paint and xnormals like i am probably going to have to do..

I'm a Web Designer and I would like to combine Smart Objects and Layer Comps in my daily workflow more effectively. I would like to select which Layer Comp inside a Smart Object I want to display on the Root Document where it is placed and also store that again in a Layer Comp of the Root Document. This could allow for example to store the Menu of a Website in one Smart Object but call different active states of this Menu from the Main PSD.

About saving data in the cloud using photoshop etc. If you store your data in the cloud, you won't know what's stored. I want you to be able to save the shortcut icon to the cloud on your computer. Then, you can search with file search software such as "Everything", which is very convenient. If you want to use a file, you can open the data saved in the cloud just by clicking the shortcut icon.photoshopなどを使っていてクラウドにデーターを保存する際について。クラウドにデータを保存してしまうと、何が保存されているのか分からなくなってしまう。クラウドへのショートカットアイコンを、パソコン上に保存できるようにしてほしい。そうすれば、「Everything」のようなファイル検索ソフトで検索をすることが出来て、とても便利だと思います。ファイルを使いたければ、ショートカットアイコンをクリックするだけでクラウドに保存されたデータを開ける仕組みです。  

The B&W adjustment layer is frequently used with Luminosity blending mode to enhance color images, and serves to fill in for some of the color-based luminosity tools found in Lr's Develop module. Further, the Hue & Saturation adjustment allows targeted selection of hues and ranges to enable saturation adjustments. I'd like to see the capabilities and UI blended. On the B&W adjustment layer, we get sliders for six major hue families, but we do not have the ability to fine-tune the selection ranges as with Hue & Saturation. On the H/S panel, we don't get to see all of the hue families at once, sometimes making it difficult to track progress and slowing down work as each range must be selected from a menu. Please add the H/S "color ramps" to to the B&W sliders for more refined control over hue selection ranges.Please enhance the UI on the H/S adjustment layer so RGBCMY ranges are simultaneously visible, while retaining the precision color ramp controls. 

It would be nice to have the ability to work with a FITS image in Photoshop directly when doing astrophotography.  Currently, free and other software will do this such as GIMP and Affinity but not Photoshop.  I would imagine that this would be an easy addition since other software is able to do it.  Now the only way to work with is, short of installinga ten year old plugin, is to convert to a TIFF.  Please consider adding the ability to work with a FITS file.

As far as I can tell there is no way to do this currently, but correct me if I'm wrong. Basically, say I have a bunch of overlapping objects, and I want to apply the exact same layer effect to each of them. Currently, I have to copy the layer effect to each layer, and then if I decide to alter it, I have to go through and either edit each layer's effect separately, or copy them over again. It would be great if I could just group the items and apply the layer effect to the group as a whole. Obviously this does work, if the objects are separated - but like I said, if I want to do this with overlapping objects, this doesn't work, because the layer effect applies as though the objects are merged (i.e. if I have several concentric circles in a group and I apply a drop shadow to the group, it applies only to the outermost circle). 

I think it would help me if you could see grid lines (rule of thirds) in the print setup dialog, as you need to position/move/ resize the image sometimes in the print output stage? Or is there a way of doing this? Thanks

It would be excellent and much easier to be able to import a video on the iPad version of photoshop to be able to trace and animate. I am aware it’s possible on desktop but tracing with a pencil is much easier. 

Okay, I have a couple things that are driving me nuts in Photoshop and I am hoping that you can improve them: 1.) I really like the option to edit my "desktop layout" / how the tools are viewed and I like that they dock in nicely at the side, but I REALLY want to be able to lock this set-up. I drag things around all the time by mistake when I go to actually use the tools. 2.) The new "Save As" vs "Save a Copy" is probably annoying everyone... I understand the reasoning behind this feature, but I just keep clicking the wrong thing out of habit. A lot of the saving features are easy to overlook and sometimes I just wish that I could set presets on how I usually do things - TIFFs w/out layers and "Save for Web" with selectable variables of 72 and 96 dpi (that don't change the resolution of the actual document), etc. My suggestion would be to have one save option in the menu - a window that also pops up with a sensible shortcut and this window should have a nicely designed set of square

I would really like the ability to change color formats on the mobile version of photoshop. It is clear the greyscale conversion is a common frustration among desktop users so why the mobile version did not support a conversion solution is beyond me.
