Feature Requests

Bayer-Ordered Dithering filter would be really useful, especially around cartoon work.

Simple request... finally after all these many years... modernize and update the Image Processor script.Support many more file formats. Support transparency if the file format allows for it. Support 32bit depth (EXR). Allow actions to run both before and after. Perhaps consider allowing multiple actions to run incrementally. Allow option to name the output folder. Include the option to save and use presets. Integrate the Image Processor in to PS formally instead of being an external 'Script'.   IMO this should have been done many years ago. Let's carry essential pipeline workflows forward and modernize and improve them as we go. Add a +1 if you'd like to see this updated / upgraded as well. Also add any ideas you have to the thread. 

If Photoshop adds an automatic Face Detection–based Smart Crop feature, it would greatly improve the user experience by allowing fully automated cropping. This feature should automatically straighten the photo and give users multiple crop preset options, such as cropping from the head, shoulders, chest, or up to the elbows, along with a custom size option.The system should automatically detect the face and crop the image precisely according to the selected preset, while automatically selecting the appropriate ratio. Such an automatic yet customizable Smart Crop feature would significantly simplify and enhance professional photo-editing workflows.I sincerely request Adobe Photoshop to consider adding this kind of advanced Smart Crop feature.

In recent versions of Photoshop, file extensions (such as .psd, .jpg, .png) are no longer visible in the Recent / New Filelist by default. This makes it harder to quickly identify file types when opening files. While switching the view to List View does show the file type, this should not be a required workaround. In previous versions of Photoshop, file extensions were visible by default, and this behavior was much more efficient. This appears to be a usability regression rather than an improvement. Restoring visible file extensions in the default view—or at least providing a preference to enable them—would significantly improve workflow and file management.Please consider bringing back this functionality in a future update.Thank you for your consideration.

I've deleted this post's text, because the issue turns out to be a bug, not a feature to be requested.(Samples do persist between mixer brushes--except for some instances. Something isn't working right.)

It would be nice to be able to remove/heal subject in my photos that are in front of another subject using a new tool for a focal range smart remover. This is already possible, but doesnt exist. I can seperate items in my picture based what is in front of another item. For example, removing landlines from a picture that runs across trees or buildings. I can remove it pretty decently, but there are times that the object behind has letters or details that become distorted, making it worse. In order to remove an unwanted object, you would need to brush over both the object and whatever is behind/infront of it. Can we please have a feature that allows us to remove an object in front of another object without distorting the object/subject behind it?A tool that recognizes the objects are further or closer than other objects whe using the remover tool.But making it an optional feature for certain edits.Thanks!

Bonjour. Ne serait-il pas possible d'avoir des suppressions de zone asynchrone?Quand on fait la moindre suppression il faut attendre que ce soit fini pour savoir utiliser Photoshop mais quand on travaille par exemple sur 10 photos ouvertes, il serait bien que cette photo en attente se mette "sur le côté" pour pouvoir faire des retouches sur les autres photos en attendant. On pourrait même envisager une "file d'attente" avec chaque zone de suppression demandée et qu'on puisse en lancer une ou l'ensemble. On pers beaucoup de temps avec ce blocage.    

Currently, when I lock guides in a Photoshop file and then close the file or restart Photoshop, the guides become automatically unlocked when the file is reopened. This causes accidental guide movement when making quick edits, which disrupts workflow and precision.I would like guides to remain locked persistently until the user manually unlocks them — regardless of:Closing and reopening the fileRestarting PhotoshopMaking changes in the documentAdditionally, this issue becomes more problematic when working with Smart Objects. If guides are locked in the main document and I double-click a Smart Object to edit it:The Smart Object opens in a new documentThe guides in that Smart Object file are not lockedThis leads to accidental guide changes while editing the Smart Object, even though the parent file’s guides are lockedRequested ImprovementsPersistent Guide Lock StateLocked guides should stay locked across file saves, file reopen, and Photoshop restarts.Guide Lock Consistency in Smart Obje

when using object transform to stretch, sheet, or skew a layer, the axis of refrence for the transform control box is locked in on the X/Y axis. now if you rotate the object, the axis of the transform control box will rotate with the object, but only until you confim the transform at which point it resets. This means that if you rotate a perfect square to be sitting at 45 degree angle, you can stretch it on a 45 degree axis into a perfect rectangle on a 45 degrees if its donew in only one transform. The issue is that after you confirm the transform, or if you have an object already at an angle you want to stretch on an angle, there is no simple built in way to rotate the angle of the transform box to match the angle of the layer/selection being transformed. This functionality is a basic necessity in all 3D modeling apps so I'm pretty surprised it hasnt been added to photoshop in the 15 years ive been using it. Before people start suggesting to just use smart shapes or some smart object

I have found that if there are more than two faces in a photo and you use the photo restoration in the neural filters, it will generate an error and turn off the function.  I would like to see the photo enhancement in the photo restoration neural filter, separated from the face enhancement in the photo restoration filter.  The reason I think they should be separated is because when the face enhancement causes the function to error out, then you lose the photo enhancement function too. 

Please can you optimize the application... 1 doc, 0 layers => memory usage 2290 MB      

I very often need to adjust the geometry of a picture such that a discernible object in the picture (say a frame, or a building) becomes rectangular; the rest of the picture should be adjusted accordingly. Quite frequently the automatic adjustment in Camera Raw fails, arguably because it searches for right angles in the complete picture, rather than the object of interest. What would be needed is straightforward: Camera Raw already comes with a powerful object selection tool. All that would be needed is the ability to adjust the complete picture conditional on the selected object being reactangular. (I know there is the manual option, with Shift + T on a Mac, but this is not only laborious. It also frequently is imprecise, as I need to do the manual correction while zooming out to the full picture, and then am not precise enough)

I hope this gets red by the appropriate parties. I recently updated my Mac OS and PS...Only to find that .Adobe decided to change the color of the spot healing brush from transparent pink to a dark grey. After spending an hour on the phone with 2 of your advisors trying to change it back.....they both discovered that's not possible....I was told this was a decision made by your "Design Team".....you have taken a near perfect tool and made it harder to use.....when it was transparent pink you could clearly see the intersection of the brush and the object edge......if you are working a dark grey to black the brush disappears......now well thought out!!....... Clearly indicates that the person responsible for making this change is not a creative more like some sort of ridiculous, corporate decision or something that happened as a result of changing something else you should change it back. This is clearly a mistake on your part.   Next issue please this photos of the 32nd Musical ele

Photoshop already has a powerful remove tool and it can already automate the removal of people, wires, and other distractions, but why can't it remove dust, dirt, and scratches? I'm primarily work with film and other analog media and dust is the bane of my existence. I would love to have this automated feature added to photoshop.

Hi, 1. Description Adobe Creative Cloud (ACC) in the "Other versions" list for Photoshop does not include the version 24.4.1. The closest one ACC is providing is version 22.2.  As you know, many PCs are staying on Windows 10 thanks to Extended Security Updates (ESU): - 1 year till October 2026 for consumer ESU ; - 3 years till October 2028 for commercial ESU. In addition, some Windows 10 editions such as Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 edition are able to get updates till Jan, 2032. It also means these PCs are keeping the same hardware for a long time including a graphics card that is not compatible with DirectX feature level 12, only with DirectX feature level 11.Besides the relative AI bandwagon, the incentive to renew hardware seems currently less important for many professional and retail clients. It is known within the Adobe Community that the latest Photoshop version to support DirectX feature level 11 and that does not requir

How are we almost in the year 2026 and they haven't given the iPad version of photoshop premium a AUTO-ALIGN tool for layer/photo stacking......... Its such a basic and almost essential core function for an average macro photography workflow, yet its nowhere to be seen as available on iPad. Theres a popular post regarding this exact thing from December 2019 and they still have yet to add it to the iPad 6 years later...Community guidelines says "To submit an idea, please provide: Why is this valuable to you?"Why would an Auto-align feature on iPad be useful when trying to stack 100 images?... Umm because its 100 images and thats what technology is for, to help with tedious and time consuming tasks... Yet on the desktop version, you only have to press 2-3 buttons and it automatically stacks all 100 images for you.Again, its literally almost 2026 and people have been asking for this feature on iPad since 2019 😞 PLEASE UPVOTE

 FIX THIS!1. Photoshop switches to Path mode automatically if…You click on the canvas with the Rectangle Tool without dragging.A single click with a shape tool brings up the Create Vector Shape dialog in older versions.In recent versions, it silently flips the mode to Path and inserts a path box. This is the number one cause.

If I've hidden selections, it's because I didn't want to see them.  The thing about the patch tool is it's really useful to be able to see if what you're doing is actually lining up well. If you're just showing the selection outline for users who somehow forget that they've hidden extras then there are solutions for that also. Maybe just show the information in the options bar like "Selections hidden. Use shortcut Ctrl+h to show." And perfect, you've helped those people without negatively impacting those of us who are aware they've hit ctrl+h in the first place to hide the selection. The other potential solution I can think of us just an extra checkbox at the top that says "respect hidden selections." Those of us who know what we are doing can turn that on and then forget about it.While you're adjusting the patch tool, might as well add the ability to rotate the patch. So click and drag near the source, but Shoot, the angle isn't Quite lining up. I suggest, while still clicke

Dear Photoshop Team,I would like to suggest the addition of three modern and highly useful color-adjustment tools to Photoshop. These tools would greatly enhance Photoshop’s color-editing capabilities and provide a more intuitive, powerful, and precise workflow for photographers, retouchers, designers, and color specialists. Feature Like Davinci Resolve Color Page Color Warper, ChromaWarp , 3D Color Tool🙂 1. Color Warper (Interactive Color Warp Grid):-Color Warper should be an interactive grid or wheel where:*Any color point from the image can be directly grabbed and dragged*The point can be moved to a new color position*The selected color instantly shifts to the target color area This allows for extremely smooth, natural color transitions with more visual control than traditional Hue/Saturation or Curves adjustments. ----Benefits:----Extremely intuitive “drag-to-shift” color editingSmooth and artifact-free transitionsPerfect for skin tone refinement, sky manipul

Would like to see a simple Find/replace name/text on layers in Photoshop. I do alot of production work using artboards and would like to easily change the file names of my assets without having go layer by layer to do so.

Everyone is confused about Generative AI Credits. Reading the pages and pages of info is like reading the software license agreement when installing software. Here is my suggestion:- Have the Credit Balance and renewal date displayed within Photoshop. I guess that might have to apply to Lightroom and Camera Raw since credits can be consumed there.- When you pull up a command window, beside the "Generate" button or "OK" button or whatever, there should be a number displayed that indicates how many credits will be used. Or maybe one of those "Question Mark in a Circle" info thingies that, when you click it, pops up a window showing how many credits will be used and your current balance. This would allow me, and others, to develop a sense of how many credits are used for various functions, and to monitor their credit use to better manage their credit resources. Thanks,Ray

Hello, This is Adobe's referral. I started a professional project using the Siano Ti app on Photoshop for iOS, which disappeared after the update. This is severely hindering my ongoing work. Despite extensive research, I haven't found any Adobe software, application, or other solution, even paid, that could help me continue working on this project. Thank you very much for your time and I hope you can help. Sincerely

I spend decades using Photoshop. When can we have the horizontal version of tools? I think it is more efficient when the tools are floating under our canvas. Our mouse cursor are always in the middle or center of our screen. What do you think guys? If you know someone who can make this changes for future updates. Please share this to them. I am hyped about this and dreaming. &#x1f605 This is a request from a person using adobe suites since I started being a Graphic Designer. Thank you guys!

I use datasets extensively, and I have one dataset (CSV) used in multiple documents. I have to create layers and assign variables from the dataset to them just to ensure the full number of variables is maintained, otherwise the dataset won't import. My idea is to ensure the dataset imports even though some of the variables aren't declared in the document.

Image Size Preview I wish there was a way to turn off the Image Size Preview, before I resize... 🙊 when working on a very large file you have to wait for the process bar to 'Build the Preview' every time you change a value.  I don't particularly see the value in having a preview window here, but if it is to stay please at least allow users to turn off the preview BEFORE resizing a very large file  Thanks
