Feature Requests

I recently noticed this issue — when starting Photoshop and using the brush tool (90+% of what I do), the brush window shows the first or top brushes in the palette, not the currently or last used brush. If I try to change brushes via the ',' or '.' hotkeys, the window will not advance to display the current or last used brush (though the brush is changing). I have to scroll through the window itself to the brush I want, and select it in the window for the brush window to behave normally. Is there a fix for this? Thank you. Photoshop 22.5.1iMac 2017, macOS Mojave 10.14.6

When outlining an area with a lasoo, it would be very convenient to save that particular lasoo with the image file. That way it could be easily recalled and reused instead of having to redraw the lasoo.   The saved lasoo would only be available on the individual file that the lasoo was created on.

While it's nice to have the new version of Photoshop on Mobile, as a photographer, launching the app with no Dodge and Burn makes it feel incomplete. While I know it's supposed to be built on the real photoshop code, missing features like that make it still feel like a compromised mobile app. I would have rather you delayed the release and make it more complete as right now without those features it's really a no go for me and my fellow photographer friends.

It is almost impossible to use the gradient editor to simulate blending between lights, because it draws a straight line through RGB space. It would be good to be able to select HSL and LAB colour spaces for the gradient editor, and it would be even better if you could make bezier curves through RGB space, like the free tool at http://www.foddy.net/2010/10/gentle-g... is pretty frustrating that there was more flexibility in Deluxe Paint IV's gradient tool 23 years ago than there is in Photoshop's gradient tool now.

I can’t import a simple Nikon Raw (.nef) file into photoshop iPad. The foto is on my iPad I can open it from files app but photoshop is not able to import!!!!!

I NEED the Rotate view tool (R) inside the Liquify, it'd be VERY handy!

Everytime we have to save in jpg or tiff we get a dialog-box up with options, could we move this when checked as default to preferences and never get this up again? Or put these checkboxes in the first window where you choose path etc? Have this as a "save as default-options" or similar. With this option we don't need to check everytime that you have correct options and newbies also don't do anything wrong by having the standard settings on. JPG with max compression and so on..

Maybe there is a way do this, but I haven't found a way. It would be great to be able to edit a path or shape with javascript. Say just move one anchor point or adjust the handles. Currently you have to recreate the entire shape to make any changes.

It seems like an oversight that there is no keyboard shortcut to create a new artboard in Photoshop. I am getting sick of clicking menus, especially since they are on a different screen.   Since a new layer is Shift+Ctrl+N, maybe something like Alt+Ctrl+N

Hi forum.   Is there a way to snap the registration point to the grid or guides? I do have my snapping enabled, but it only applies to the shapes or objects, but how about the registration point? I'm trying to snap it dead on centre to my guides, so I can rotate my shape around the path.   Thank you.    

Description: When using Photoshop on my desktop Mac, I work in "full screen mode with menu bar" most of the time. I have one monitor so I have an image area and tools/palettes areas that share the space. I use command-0 to see the full image a lot, but I run into a situation that could be better I think: maybe you'll agree. When I hit apple-0 to see the full image, the way it works now is that the image fills the size of the monitor. This is good sometimes, but I'd love a preference for that key command to toggle between "fill the monitor" and "fills the available space not occupied by palettes and tools". I'm constantly typing apple-0, then apple-minus to zoom out just a little to make it smaller and then moving the image with the hand tool via the space bar, to the open, non-palette/tool area.   Value: My three steps could be one! 1) Command-0  >  2) Command-minus  >  3) Space bar & move to middle ... could be ... 1) Command-0 ... and be done! All

 The existing startup screen is independent of the window, it has neither close, minimize, etc. buttons, nor is it connected to the main window afterwards. Windows 11 provides a new way (although it actually started in Windows Phone) to display the splash screen-before the application is loaded, the main icon is displayed in the center area, and the other positions (the title bar area) remain unchanged. I think Photoshop can also be inspired by this and put the loading process in the window. The ConceptMaybe you like more concise, but at least you should keep the Adobe logo and Creative Cloud brand, maybe there are more, but I don’t have enough timeThis is meaningful, it organically combines the loading process with the main program window, which is fluent and easy to understand and elegant in the interaction logic. Adobe should let more programs, preferably all applications of the Adobe family, do so, rather than rejecting other programs for not doing so. More impo

Hello, could you please submit your Windows app to the Microsoft Store? To make it easier to download, and users did not have to think about updates. With the release of Windows 11, it became possible to submit traditional desktop apps (Win32) in the Microsoft Store, not just UWP - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-store/desktop-apps/.

Is there a way after creating a marquee selection to stroke it to create a border. Obviously in desktop photoshop that option is in the top menu which the iPad version doesn't have.

You use Enter for everything, and sometimes you're bound to double-tap it.How do I prevent it from acknowledgint the existence of this panel?I'm willing to break whatever I have to in the photoshop system files if I have to, I just HATE this functionality with a burning passion and want it to cease. Any way to fix it? **I don't want to know that pressing escape or enter again will 'accept' the value, I want it to never touch this panel for anything ever again.

I create and use templates for work and it's essential that I have the ability to lock smart object positions within the file, but also have the ability to  open and edit the smart objects. Does anyone know a way to lock a smart object position but still preserve edibility? it would really help as a lot of people go into the files and the template gets messed up, which is so annoying for slicing. I just dont see how locking the position would stop you from getting in the smart object!  

I've long wished for some of the functionality of Adobe Capture to be accesable to Photoshop without having to export an image as a Graphic, and then work on it with Capture on my phone. Wish has been granted! In the Libraries panel, if you click on the Add Content icon, one of the options is "Create from Image". This opens up Capture right inside Photoshop.   I'v liked Cature for its pattern making function, but a cool new feature is to make gradients from your image. You can drag the stops around, sop the gradient will be sampled along a path (not an actual Photoshop path, though). I can think of a lot of uses for this.

The default setting for Export-As has to my knowledge always been 100 percent with the option for reducing the quality to save on file size. The new Export-As defaults to a lower quality (Good) requiring me to click an extra step, and always remember to do so, just to not export a degraded version of what I am working on. The default in my option should be Best or full quality with the option to select a reduced quality if needed. I have already had clients point out inconsistancies in my file sizes because I have neglected to change the quality selection. That is for me unacceptable. 

The whole export and quality tool looks more like a tool for amateurs than a graphics program for professionals. There used to be a lot of editing possibilities. Now, if I work on multiple workspaces and create separate banners for the web, I have no way of adjusting their quality/size to the client's requirements. I would now have to save each banner as a separate file and optimise it using the good old Export to WEB function. This is not an improvement but a step backwards. Professionals need a tool that will give them full control over the quality and size of the file, not a simplistic kid's tool.I have changed the export mode in the export options to the old one but all quality options related to the GIF have disappeared, can anyone explain to me what is the purpose of this?I guess the idea behind having separate workspaces is to produce multiple formats (example: banners). How can the user now control their quality, given that their weight and quality must normally meet certain cr

It would save a great amount of time for slice users if there was a feature/script that allowed the Layer-Based Slices to be named automatically with the name of the Layer used. Would that be implemented in future versions of Photoshop?

Hello everybody!   I've neen working lately in some arrengments for a lawyers buffete. They do a lot work wit foreing people they have made a lot.   While I was working with them I always thought the same, why PS didn't have the measurements of the pictures for documents include in her options?   Ther is any way they can do it? I think it could be a good improvement for those who work in the legal are.   By the way, I'm sorry for my terrible english.   Link removed by Moderator

would be nice to have those small arrows next to some text-fields like in indesign or illustrator. thanks and good bye  

PROBLEMConsider the following art. The V is centred horizontally but needs to be enlarged. Currently, using the top handle (and shift) to enlarge from the centre-top distorts the image. But if a corner handle is used, the operation unnecessarily becomes two-steps instead of one (enlarge, then re-centre). Like-wise if the option modiefier is held. Because the V is alinged to the bottom, enlarging from the centre will once again require two steps (enlarge, re-position).  FEATURE REQUESTTransform handles should honour the constrain modifier because when the user implicitly tells Photoshop to constrain proportions (or un-constrain depending on what you want), handles should honour this user instruction - right? That way, we can perform operations in one step. Illustrator/InDesign already work this way as did Photoshop once upon a time - why create multiple steps? Consistency within apps and across apps is huge so hopefully this no-brainer can get sorted quickly!&nb

An addition to the eyedropper tool's abilities where you click on an area and it shows metadata of the name of the brush that was used, size, and opacity. 

Please add the selective color correction to photoshop on the ipad. It's really missing. I also miss some camera raw features and filters to really use photoshop ipad to edit my photos. I always need to use half lightroom, when I want to push the colors in a special direction. Normally I edit my photos completely on photoshop desktop.    The next problem is to add lights in photoshop on the ipad. There is no filter for clouds and motion blur to get sunbeams for instance. You also need to save each photo in the ipad photo app to import it in an existing photoshop file.   I also have problems to export psds to lightroom mobile. I never find those files in lightroom on the ipad. Please improve the cross-app workflow between those apps. Both programs are not interlocking like they do as desktop version. Maybe it's possible to get some updates and improve the worflow, so you can edit photos while travelling as well. That would be great.   Thank you very much.
