Feature Requests

I produce a comic. I use both rounded rectangle and rectangle as stock speech bubbles for main cast characters. I will literally go back and foth twenty times in a typical strip. This is the first time I have been forced to revert a photoshop update to retreive a previous functionality. As an Illustraitor user I appriacate the flexabilty of combining the tools but this had devistating negative consequences for my workflow and workarounds are all worse than the problem itself. So back to Photoshop 2019 fo me.

Not sure if this is a bug or it's just not a feature, but when I adjust settings in a neural filter, there is no progress bar to let me know if anything is happening. The OK button grays out and turns blue when complete – it may be for a couple minutes, or it may be a few seconds – but I don't know whether my PS is just locked up or if any settings are being applied during that time. It just kind of leaves you hanging for a bit. A progress bar would be nice to have.

Where is the smudge tool for Photoshop on the iPad Pro? Thank you.

Publication PT & ENG Gostaria que tivesse um tipo de "Checkpoints" para voltar as modificações anteriores como se eu tivesse salvo em diferentes arquivos, porém, sem criar varios arquivos no meu computador.    Como funcionaria? 1 - Atalho como ctrl + ç para o salvamento do Checkpoint; 2 - Um botão de salvamento rápido que abrisse uma janela para escolher, modificar e excluir todas as vezes que foi salvo como "Checkpoint"; 3 - Area notificada com números indicando quantos Checkpoints tem o arquivo; 4 - Opção de comparação na janela do Checkpoint, duas telas se abrem como no camera raw para comparação de "antes e depois"O que acham? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would like to have a type of "Checkpoints" to go back to previous modifications as if I had saved them in different files, however, without creating several files on my computer.   How would it work? 1 - Shortcut like ctrl

Photoshop still blocks the full monitor, when I jump out of Photoshop to another application or the Desktop.My workflow often needs a change between applications, and often I have to search footage on the desktop. So each time being forced to either press the Tab Key or minimize Photoshop completely, is distressing. PLEASE FIX THAT (it's actually not only an idea, it's a bug or lazy programming, because on Mac you can see Photoshop, how it's working correctly.) In general:The UI experience of Photoshop on Windows is terrible in comparison with working on a Mac.Hotkeys were frequently blocked, because menus become active with "blue text", when you e.g. only change the layer mode. So you are forced to press always "escape" as an extra step after each small action and you can't just watch at the picture, you have often to turn your eyes at th UI, to find out what again is blocking.Simply working with the stamp (pressing Alt-Key to take the source) already activates the menus, wh

Windows 11 has added new touch features to make babysitting the OS easier, allowing mouse pad gestureson the screen. These conflict with Photoshop undo gestures. The touch functionality needs to be reworked. Best solution is to make it work more like fresco. Double taps doing undo and redo. Additionally I would like to see touch support for color picking like in fresco.

Fresco has s nice feature which forces high performance mode for the best drawing experience on my Surface Book 3. Why doesn't Photoshop have this?

I actively use animation in Photoshop and I have a suggestion for improving the timeline.When a layer is selected in the workspace, the layers menu automatically switches to the selected layer, but not in the timeline. I have to search for the layer myself.Please add the ability to automatically transition to the selected layer in the timeline. And even better - to the selected frame.This will greatly simplify and improve our animation workflow in Photoshop.

In some areas Photoshop elements have not (yet) or have been badly translated. Things are fine and easy to understand as I explain them to students who mostly install the native English version but when they install the Dutch version instead they can find elements that have not yet been translated, or that are not correctly translated. Bummer.The 'Hue / Saturation' window panel contains the sliders for 'Hue', 'Saturation', and 'Lightness'.I always explain that 'Lightness' is not the same as 'Brightness' and show students examples to understand, and let them use the 'Lightness' slider to the max to make it all clear, then comparing with other adjustments to let it all sink in.However, in the Dutch version the 'Lightness' has been translated as 'Helderheid' which in turn means 'Brightness'. This is a whole different animal which is more about purity and chroma. 'Lightness' should be translated as 'Lichtheid'. Please Adobe make this so 🙂  Brightness is not Lightness, therefor

As the title states. The default behavior is annoying to me and other users. The Enter key is used to confirm crop and transforms as well as other things. But it is also used to toggle selection of the fields in the Control Panel. This means if you hit Enter one too many times while confirming a transformation, you wind up with your keyboard focus inside the Control Panel where it is utterly useless for doing anything else. This is just too many functions tied to one key. This is a professional application, not an iPod. There's 86 keys on a standard keyboard. There's no need at all for the Enter key to be doing so many things. However I understand people may like the current behavior and have gotten used to it. Therefore the Enter key should be an assignable key, and toggling focus between the Control Panel and the work area should be an assignable action. This would probably represent the best QOL change Adobe could do for Photoshop.

Please add option to add images into open documents without any further processing.I'm a graphic artist and do not care about DPI, real size of picture and other stuff. I just want to place images into document with full resolution without any further automatic processing.Sometimes i need to place 20 images at once into one document, so opening them in new document and copy pasting them to my main document is tedious. Thank you for adding this feature in advance.

Please make a program of feature like Acrobat Distiller to optimize PSB files.I find I have massive PSB files with 7 level smart objects, linked to high res layered keyart, deep down the rabbit hole of smart objects, which I don't need anymore.You should be able to drag the PSB file into an analyser, that shows you a breakdown of whats in your PSB file and pick and choose what you wanna keep, rasterize, or delete from an easy drop down menu.There should be an option to optimizse the entire PSB file for Web or Print and options to maintain vectors or not. This will save thousands of GBs of useless data. 

Unable to disable Cloud Sync. I don't want to store my images at the Adobe Cloud. I have an private NAS. You miss a fully integration of Apples file manager. App is useless for me if it force me to use a cloud.

Hello, I am looking for API to read list of Character Styles and Paragraph Styles, in a Photoshop document. I am able to create Character Styles and Paragraph Styles using action manager code. While creating the styles I would like to check whether the character styles/paragraph styles with same name exists. I have read through all the topics related to this in the forums. The feature exists in Indesign and Illustrator but not in Photoshop I would like to request Adobe to add this feature to their next release. Thank you,Swapna

Photopea a free online Photoshop Clone supports iPhone Depth maps from Portrait mode photos, and can be used to extract the depth map and use it as an Alpha channel. Can this feature be added to Photoshop?

I have hundreds of layer styles in my Presets>Styles folder with many sub-folders by type (wood, metal, etc.). I have looked many times for an app or something to be able to read the .asl files and create thumbnails of the indvidual styles within each .asl file but couldn't find anything. It is not practical to load them all due to the large number so I have to guess and load several to try and find a style I like for a given project. An app that could make a PDF catalog or something like it that would show the actual styles like the Styles window for the enitre Styles folder would be awesome.    

The title says it all. Fresco's eye dropper tool can optionally pick up multiple colors simultaneously (not unlike a certain Mixer Brush setting in Photoshop), allowing you to draw with multiple colors at once. This is awesome because it lets you use multiple colors in a single stroke for other tools, like Brushes. You should also be able to change the hue, saturation, and value of the stamped colors (Like in Adobe Fresco, as seen in the video below). There's no reason that Photoshop shouldn't have this feature too. The following Adobe youtube video starts with the line "Multicolor selection is a powerful new feature in Adobe Fresco that will open up a world of possibilities for artists..." I can't help but wonder why those possibilities haven't yet made it to Photoshop artists-- especially considering this video came out in May of 2020 and it's nearly 2022 now. Check out the video to see how the mechanic works:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXZeEMEsvUo

can we please get an automatically measure distances and place dimensions tool for photoshop. does not need to be a full blown CAD like tool with all the technical details.just a basic tool for simple dimensioning.   photoshop already has tools to measure.it can paint arrows and lines so it should be no problem to code such a tool.  

Add an option for each file to remove from the recent tab (recent tab in home screen).

A keystroke/shortcut for the protect tones check box in the dodge tool would be very helpful! I'm constantly clicking it on and off! 

Being many user need to upgrade their machines to run newer OS and Photoshop versions.   The desktop applications would be better if it supported these Adobe users by being able to install Photoshop 2020 version 21 of Photoshop. 

It would be great to reduce allowed the swatches window height. This will free up space for other windows, without having to keep them in hidden tabs and make unnecessary clicks while working.

See heading.

The imposed default setting for "mask on" in adjustment is a workflow inefficiency if the brush is frequently used for simple "dodge and burn". (It then has to be turned off every time the brush is used in order to see the immediate effect). Suggest we get the choice of default status!

It's been years since people have requested this feature. It is so inconvenient working between two personal PCs and one for work to have to sign in and out all the time. Please give us three computers, for the love of God.
