Feature Requests

I am looking for a new application to be developed if it does not exist or to be purchased if such an app exists. The app would allow a caption to be added to a photo in a manner that would allow the photo to be resized such as from a 1-column layout to a 2-column layout – without changing the font size of the caption. Assume the caption is a 4-line caption in the 1-column layout, but that it would automatically resize to a 2-line caption in a 2-column layout. This would be particularly helpful for photographers/venues who want to create the caption and add their copyright protection to the photo. It would also be helpful for publishers who could quickly and easily drag and drop photos from layout to layout without involving an editor’s time to retype the caption. Given the many millions of photographers and publishers, I can’t believe this has not been created already and would expect the app to be required/purchased by publishers and photographers.

Currently, a Pattern Fill adjustment layer allows quick, dynamic application of basic patterns to a layer. However, the Edit > Fill > Pattern... dialog gives access to scripted fills, which are much more flexible, but cannot be edited after fact - they must be replaced. Please add the Fill > Pattern controls to the Pattern Fill adjustment layer, along with the following enhancements:Enable all controls in the Properties panelAllow switching the fill scriptEnable a preview that correctly imposes the pattern's real scale over the image areaAdd randomization to the Brick Fill script Thanks! -Scott 

For the image processor script, JPEG quality slide is fine, but would be nice to also have a max file size option like the legacy SAVE FOR WEB function. So many website have a max file size for images, that would make batch compressing so easy. With the slider, the actual file size that is exported is somewhat od a guess, but if I could limit to 200kb for example, that would be a great function to have.

HiWhen you export files in photoshop ( or other Adobe products) it now select the entire file name incl. the extension (.jpg  .png etc.). It is really not a good thing when you export allot of files - you have to unselect the name with mouse instead of just writing the file name you need. It's an extra step every time you export.The file extension name should not be highlighted. It use to be that way....

When I use photoshop on windows and change the layers property on the panel, as long as I don't hit enter or click somewhere, the panel stays selected making it impossible for me to press any hotkey. This hinders usability a lot. In other panels, for example in the text properties, when we select an option, the panel is "disabled" and we are able to use the shortcut keys without any problems. Could have a fix for this in an upcoming update!

Hi I think it would be nice if Adobe staff could write a blog or have a page somewhere on their website where they can recommend their favourite laptops or desktops that they use to run Adobe programs on. I know they don't sell the computers themselves but it would be useful for Adobe customers to know what devices are going to perform well while running Adobe programs like Photoshop. I know you can find some articles online but it would be nice to know what Adobe recommends. 

Dear friends I suggest to have option to change colors of each guide line. When You use many lines You can tangle in them but have a different colors You can work easyer.It is like a label colors in Premiere Pro & After Effects. And in the end. Thanks for Your Greate pack of software.RegardsHarut

Hi, I've discovered a need to be able to apply seperate layer comps to different document windows.    So working with one layer comp in one document window and viewing a different layer comp in another document window.     To me this would be so useful for things like frequency seperation retouching, or creating any composite edits.     I hope Adobe will consider a feature like this

I was a Photoshop 1.0 beat tester. Have been a professional retoucher/photographer using PShop daily coninuously. Currently full time at a high end commercial studio. I visited the Adobe Feature Request/Bug page, but was directed here. I hope someone at Adobe will actually read my feature request list. 1. Better organization of vector paths. Enable folders for related paths -like layers. At the very least, offer an area select tool, the will hightlight paths in a selected area. Commercial files often require over a 100 paths. Even with names, this can be time consuming to navigate.1B: A deselect path(s) button. This WAS a feature years ago (at my suggestion) but was removed. With many paths in the palette, scrolling to an empy row at the bottom is time is inefficient, as is having to click esc while path tool is selected. Deselect Path(s) button should be available with ANY tool in use (or a dedicated hot key)2. Photographic element csutom clone tool. Other apps have had this for

Since Content Aware Fill can create a new Layer with the Fill, there seems no obstacle to make it work with Smart Objects / linked images too.

Does that make sense?  Like when you hold down the space bar and right click the image you get a little menu where you can zoom in to 100%, 200%, print size, or fit to screen. But to be able to zoom in or out in smaller increments, you have to use the magnifying glass.  When you use the magnifying glass and then right click, you get a meny that is like the one I described above, only it has two aditional options:It would be REALLY convenient if the "right click while holding space" menu had those two extra options too!Can we have that please?

New user to Photoshop, coming from Clip Studio Paint.I've been trying to configure Photoshop's shortcuts to my liking and have been stuck behind the fact that there is seemingly no way to customize the behavior of modifier keys. For example: Holding Alt brings up the color picker tool by default - I would like to set its behavior to change the brush size instead. Additional examples including setting Space, Shift+Space and Ctrl+Space to handle panning, rotation and scaling of the canvas. Being able to set the behavior of any modifier key to your liking is such a nice feature in Clip, I think it would make a lot of artists happy (especially those who have to swap between software constantly) to also have this level of flexibility in Photoshop.Here's a look at the modifier settings in Clip Studio Paint:  For the time being I've had to resort to writing AHK scripts and setting up macros to get Photoshop working somewhat close to what I'd like it to, which took a lot of time and frus

Photoshop on windows has different screens to select the save folder for your files, when you select the "export as" after configuring the output of the file have to select the destination folder in a specific way, and when you select "save to web" it's another way, attached example:It would be very useful if it was just an interface for both situations, preferably the interface of "export as".export assave to web  

Hi,  We are in contact with Mike Scrutton, director print technology&strategy in the print and publishing business unit at your company, about a request of us to develop a plugin part of our software as plugin of Photoshop/Illustrator. In a textile Cad/Cam application, the designer should be able to make a drawing respecting a pixel aspect ratio which is defined by the machine. Photoshop views the drawing according a pixel aspect ration but does not consider it during desiging.   Our question is if you would be prepared to add such a feature or to provide a possibility to do it ourselve through an API?   Mike has more information about our project. We make many kinds of textile machines (weaving machines, tufting machines, spinning machines, ...) and we have also a software to control and to monitor our machines. Best regards, Frank Marijsse

Hello, im working a lot with artboards in my workflow and realized that the export dialogue for exporting artboards is not very flexible.  Im missing the regular settingoptions and would be glad, if they will be added as soon as possible 🙂  

I'm aware of the reason behind the fairly recent change in "Save As" behavior: Apple changed the operating system's APIs such that you had no choice. Fair enough. However, this doesn't apply to other platforms. I completely understand the logic behind implementing consistent default behavior across all platforms, but I don't see any good reason to prevent users on compatible platforms from optionally switching back to the cleaner UX. I'd therefore like to request an option in the application preferences to enable the legacy "Save As" behavior. Thank you,Matthias

I use Photoshop 2021 for animations/tweening, which means I frequently use the Timeline window. When I right-click on a layer in the timeline, the Motion box pops up, but every time the "resize to fill canvas" option is automatically selected. It's been this way since I started using Photoshop a few years ago, but lately the inconvenience has gotten more tiresome.(Prior to selecting anything, the checkbox is already selected automatically)(After choosing pan/zoom/etc. At this point I have to manually uncheck if I don't want to enlarge the image) I'm sure this is useful to others, but personally I have never used it, nor do I foresee myself ever using it. Yes, I can just uncheck the box so this is not a major issue, but it would be so much more convenient if I could just set it to be unchecked automatically. Unfortunately I haven't seen any option to do so in the Preferences window (though please let me know if I've overlooked it). Adding this toggle would greatly improve my experi

It's common for website and software designers to scale documents. Most Photoshop features handle document scaling well. Layer Styles applied to Shape layers can (optionally) scale when the document is scaled. However, Mask Feathering on Shape layers can not. To be clear, here's the feature I'm talking about: To demonstrate, I've created three elements: A Shape layer with a Glow Layer Style, a Shape layer with Mask Feathering applied, and a bitmap layer that's been blurred. After scaling the document by 200%, the Layer Style scales, the bitmap layer scales (using bitmap scaling, of course), and the Shape with the Mask Feather has the same amount of feathering applied... it doesn't get scaled with the document. I scale documents quite a bit, so manually editing all the Mask Feathering by hand isn't really an option. It's for this reason that I'm not using an otherwise awesome feature. I'd *love* Mask Feathering to scale with the document.

Hello Dear All, Since long time I was wonder that how would be useful if I can create dynamic point line info system as a plugin for everyone. Something like shown down below! Wish to change start and end point like drag and drop way, if you have them like more then 20 it would be easy to arrange them. (Lines could change direction and length according to text location!)    I even don't know how does it call that kind of system but I gave my own name for that (DPLI) Autocad have that kind of stuff with attributes as lisp but I don't know where to start plugin for Photoshop which I need so badly! If you have any info about that please let me know!   Thank you very much & Best Regards Utku

The effect of the Median filter is more like a Blur than like Noise. I think users can better find it in the Blur section.

Can you create a plugin to add to Photoshop to be able to create animated NFT artwork & export all through photoshop without having to learn After Effects or having to export using two programs , photoshop and than After Effects .    It would save the user lots of time and money and also would allow people who only know photoshop to be able to continue making digital art and be able to export and create all in one program. Also I wouldn't' mind paying extra per month via the cloud subscription to have this option and I'm sure many others who are also in the same situation of being very knowledgeable about photshop ( shortcuts , layout , designing interface ) would appreciate the simplicity and easy of being able to continue designing in the program they love so much Photoshop 🙂    ps thank you for your time and consideration on this matter !     

Hi, it would be incredibly useful to creators to have the ability to add a full-colour texture to a brush (as per the Pattern Stamp Brush) but have the texture interact with the selected brush colour (eg. Overlay) rather than replacing it entirely.   I strongly believe this one tweak would open up a whole new world of brush possibilities for digital artists, illustrators, photo retouchers, designers and many more   It would entirely solve the issue of overly flat digital brush colour and would make Photoshop the clear sole lead in the digital art & illustration industries (alongside it's existing sole dominance in the retouching industry)   Background: I've been a professional retoucher & illustrator working mostly in Photoshop for over 20 years. I've spent the last 4 years recreating the tools of Leonardo da Vinci for Photoshop [Link removed by moderator] which is how I realised how much extra power this one tweak would provide  

Hi guys! I'm fascinated by this newfound tool called "Share for Review" for InDesign which I can share the layout I'm creating with the client, allowing him to make comments and feedbacks in a web-based environment, and that the comments immediately appear in the app itself. The fact is that so far I haven't been able to find out if this same feature exists for Photoshop and Illustrator, or if I would always have to save a PNG file, bring it to InDesign and finally share it with the client. I appreciate the help! Tks!

Currently if you rotate the canvas with the Rotate View Tool, all the new selections will be "counter-rotated" (stay attached to the base axis). It would be helpful to provide an option to disable that and use selection tool normally with angle related to the screen, not the canvas.Thanks.
