Feature Requests

Hi ! I can't seem to find a way to choose a specific font from the complete list of installed font, instead of having some kind of random shortlist. Is there such an option ? If not, will that be implemented in the feature ? It's Really annoying to open the file, not being able to resolve with the right font, and then having to do it manually (fiter fonts in layer panel > then select the concerned layers and have to browse - getting around the instant preview/replace issue - and then select the right font, and click ok or press enter for every single layer -__-') Thanks for the help !

Hello, The current photoshop timeline is designed for the frame-by-frame  editing of an existing video track, rather than the creation of  animation from scratch. I would like to request that the Animation Timeline in photoshop be made more like the Timeline in Adobe Flash.  This would include things such as the ability to extend a keyframe over several frames, select frames, grab and move frames from one position/layer to another, and so on.  Currently, all of these actions have to be performed through a clunky menu dive, a complex sequence of copying and pasting, or both.  Also, frames are deleted if the framerate for the animation is changed. I have worked with both Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop for several years.  I use photoshop to create rough sketches and drawings, as rastor based graphics are very convenient for my creative process.  I use flash to practice traditional animation.  However, even with a tablet, vector-based

For video editing in Photoshop, I'd like to have the ability to trim or extend multiple selected clips.

White border around crosshair cursor (for CS6) was not a good idea. Not only does sub-pixel rendering make it look like the black is bleeding into the white, but the cursor is now essentially 3px thick, making pixel-perfect selections at 100% much more difficult / less agile. Can there be an option to go back to the previous cursor that would simply invert portions of the crosshair based on what was directly under the cursor? *Generally Happy Creative Cloud Customer*

"Blend Text/RGB Colors Using Gamma" should be a document or layer setting instead of a global setting. The user should have the ability to set the default option. There could still be a global setting for documents that don't have specified gamma blending settings. Here's a simple scenario: A designer makes a graphic in Photoshop CS5. The Star shape and text layers are each set to black with layer fill set to 45%. All Photoshop color settings are at default. The file is sent to a user with CS6 or the designer upgrades to CS6. The Shape and Text layers no longer look the same. Mass confusion. The current settings are hidden away, like they aren't supposed to be messed with, yet I am seeing recommendations to disable Blend Text Colors Using Gamma: http://bjango.com/articles/photoshopc... I was tempted to label this as a "Problem" rather than an "Idea." There are simple workarounds for this issue, but you can't expect users to know what is happening in the first place, especiall

When the color picker is opened, the red field is automatically selected. It's very, very rare that I'd want to copy the red component of a color. However, I copy the HEX value very often. Usually it's to copy a color, then paste it into another picker, like when I'm copying a shape's fill color. It'd be great if the hex field was automatically selected when the picker is opened, saving several clicks (four clicks when copying and pasting a shape's fill color). Image is not available

We are getting ready for our regional spelling bee.  I am creating PSD file for 300+ words for our tv broadcast.  Is it possible to check the spelling of these files at one time. In the past I have opened each file and checked them individually.  We are copying the words from Word and use the spell check there, however I want they extra bit of security by checking them in Photoshop as well. I can't have a misspelled word during the spelling bee.

Problem Description — Illustrator allows realtime tweaking of the corner radius of rounded rectangles while drawing, using the arrow keys. It’s brilliant and takes the guesswork out of drawing rounded rectangles. Drawing a roundrect in Photoshop is a trial and error affair, because you have to choose the corner radius prior to drawing. This means it usually takes several attempts to draw a rounded rectangle, because you have to delete what you’ve done and start again each time. It’d be even better if the rounded rect’s corner radius remained editable after drawing. Allowing a different corner radius for each corner would be the icing on the cake. Given the current implementation of vector rounded rectangles in Photoshop, I’m not sure how it’d be possible to implement edibility without significant changes. Workaround — Lots of trial and error, drawing and redrawing until the correct radius is achieved.

The Lasso Tool is present within the new mask and select of 2015.5. The Polygon Tool is not provided however. Having both tools would be incredibly helpful.

The problem is that if JPG has resolution metadata e.g. 300DPI and my document has 72DPI then Photoshop makes this image smaller according DPI and Smart Object is not 1:1 and doesn't has same size as I need. "resize image during place" - unchecked"skip transform when placing"  - checked

Please take a close look at the New File dialog box...It is unclear wich presets have Artboards activated and wich not. Maybe add a checkbox that is (de-)activated to make things clear Also the "Default Photoshop Size" shows Pixels/Centimeter as a resolution preset (wich is really annoying).

Please add the option to adjust the keyboard kerning/tracking ratio just like you can in Adobe Illustrator and in Indesign. The default increments are too large and should be customizable. The default is likely 20/1000em as in the other apps, but the custom adjustment to something like 5/1000em would be great for more control.

TheTransform tool does an interesting deformation to the image: it simulates aperspective. This is really great for many purposes, especially for imageediting. Unfortunately it is deeply unwanted for many others because it doesn’tpreserve the regular spacing of the image. This request is highly expected by many artists in my company as well as by the rest of the community (see: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/244/864925)Hence this suggestion: A new deformation modeshould be added to the Transform tool to allow homogeneous distortion of theimageThanks a lot for your understandingJulien

Scenario is a canvas with 3 different artboards on it.  Each artboard is a separate email consisting of 2 sections (each of which would have to be sliced).  It would be great to have the ability to slice specific artboards independent of one another. The current model applies a slice (#1)  that seems to border the artwork bounds of the entire document.  So currently all 3 boards are enveloped including any outlying artwork bounds.  I suppose my idea is two-fold and address 2 issues I have with artboards.  I'd like to select an artboard and have the Save For Web functionality only applied to the selected board and I'd like to apply my slices on the specific artboard without having it slice everything on the canvas in relation to that original slice.  I imagine a solution would almost be like a master slice that can have secondary slices within it. I hope I was able to explain myself clearly enough.

I a big fan of Layer Comps which was introduced in Photoshop CS. Since then, features was added and I think they need to be supported in Layer Comps. Here my ideas to enhance Layer Comps : - Simplify the way to update specific Options of a Layer Comps (Visibility, Position and Style) like in the composer extension (http://www.jasonforal.com/composer/) - Adding icônes on the Layer Comp line (perhaps like layer Fx in the Layers panel...) which allow user to quickly update the Properties he want. - Right click on a multi-selection of Layer Comps, to update the wanted common Properties. - In the Video Timeline, Photoshop support also by default Visibility, Position and Style, but it support also more properties (Text Warp, Mask Position,3D Camera Position...). So that would be great to also support these Properties in the Layer Comps panel. - We could support more options, like Smart Filter, position of Timeline Playhead, the Layer Stack order, the Crop Area position and size... -

I'd like to be able to use a non-destructive curves adjustment on a mask. I do a lot of complex masking, and it would help if I could use curves to temporarily add contrast to dark or light areas of the mask. Even better would be the ability to use the luminosity of a layer group or a smart object as a layer mask.

Photoshop feature request: Align Baseline In Photoshop, the Layer > Align menu item gives you options for alignment, but it's lacking a type layers-specific option: align baselines. If you have 2+ Type layers selected, it would be super handy to be able to align them by baseline, which is very different from align:bottom (because of descenders). As it is, you have to align by bottom, and then manually adjust any type layers that contain descenders. Since type layers can be multiple lines, I envision this as being another set of three options: Align baseline(s) by top baseline Align baseline(s) by center (in-between baselines for layers with even number of lines) Align baseline(s) by bottom baseline So basically another set of Top - Middle - Bottom, but for baselines, not pixel edges.

I am always trying to do subtle moves with the transform tool that require me to zoom tightly into my image. In order to transform my object, i have to zoom back out and then grab the handles of the transform box. But i have no idea what i am doing when i am zoomed out. I need a 'temporary' transform box to manipulate while zoomed into my image. The fact that a feature like this is missing drives me nuts. Sometimes my handles are outside the canvas area of my image and i have to zoom way out on the image, increase the canvas area, transform, then zoom back in....

Command-J duplicates the entire current layer, or a portion of the current layer, if there’s a selection. It’s a great feature, and one I use daily. For some strange reason, Command-J doesn’t do anything when there’s two layers or a layer group selected. Why? I realise there’s probably a decent technical reason for this, but a context sensitive “just dupe it” command would be really handy, even if it’s actually several different methods behind the scenes. Is now a good time to mention that the Layer menu already contains an item that does most of these things, but it doesn’t have a keyboard shortcut by default? Pre-emptive strike: Assigning a keyboard shortcut wouldn’t help, as the menu item doesn’t duplicate selections within a layer (Command-J does). Image is not available

*** If this is important to you, please comment below. *** Vector Masks in Photoshop have sharper anti-aliasing than shapes created other ways. Quite often, I find that the results are too sharp. This is especially true for very small shapes, making it an issue for icon creation. It’s interesting to note that vector Smart Objects that have been pasted from Illustrator have vastly different anti-aliasing to Shape Layers that have been pasted from Illustrator. The Smart Objects are far heavier and the anti-aliasing seems posterized. I don’t really have a solution for this, except a suggestion that the Shape Layer/Vector Mask rendering is very close to ideal for me, but I’d prefer slightly softer anti-aliasing. I don’t know how this could be implemented while keeping legacy support. I guess there’s three ways it could be done: A global change or preference, where all documents get the new rendering (breaking legacy rendering), a per document setting or a per object/layer setting. The firs

Due to the fact that the correct sharpness not seen at all zooming options photos, especially on laptops monitors, it would like to make settings % when opening photos in default zoomed. This is to accelerate the process works!

Users of localized versions might need to use the english version for several reasons: following one of the many english tutorials on the web, using some of the shortcuts that are not available in other languages, use some actions that have been written in english without making sure they would not break in other languages. Some countries have multiple national languages, and companies might have employees speaking different languages using the same machine. Letting them select their language of choice would be a must! The only legal way to do it now seems to purchase another version of the software en english, install it, then use the preferences entry to change the languages. But paying a whole new license of Photoshop is quite expensive, especially if one knows that other software, also produced by Adobe, allow their users to change the langage of their interface for free: After Effects, Lightroom, Bridge are examples I know of. After effects users can switch their localized version

Currently if you want to move a selected layer (or multiple layers) from one open PSD to another, you have to: 1. Select the layer(s) in the Layers palette. 2. Click the Move Tool (if not already active). 3. Make sure the "Auto-Select" feature isn't on. 4. Click within the canvas. 5. Drag to the new PSD. While that's not a HUGE deal, I am still not sure why we can't just omit steps 2 through 4. We should be able to select the Layers in the palette, and then drag them to the new document (either the new document's canvas area, or the new document's layer palette). Speaking of the latter, with the way things currently work, when I drag layers from one PSD into another, the layers palette doesn't get updated to the document I'm currently dragging it into. If I have 5 PSDs open and they all look the exact same, but the layer structures are actually different (but I don't remember the file name), I have no way of knowing if I am in the right PSD or not. In short, the layer palette should up

Hello! I am attempting to slice a sprite sheet into evenly spaced sections so I could export them all as individual, identically sized pngs. I am trying to divide a 2000 px by 3400 px png into 8 rows and 17 columns. Photoshop was able to divide them horizontally into 17 slices, but when I tryto divide vertically into 8 slices, Photoshop refuses to divide it into morethan 5 columns. Similarly, if I first tell it to divide vertically into 8, itrefuses to divide into more than 12 rows. Additionally, Photoshop slows to a crawl when I open up the divide slice windowthe second time after applying, and when it finally opens the window, there areslice guides covering the entire canvas and Photoshop becomes so slow it isunresponsive. Is it supposed to be impossible to automatically slice the document into morethan 100 sections? It looks like I can make it work if I slice it manually, butI need the accuracy that comes with divide slice. I am running the latest version of

Problem Description — It’s quite common for Photoshop documents to contain a lot of layers. I have some documents here with well over 1000 layers, and I don’t think I’m alone (I have groups for each state of the iOS app usually). It’d be great to be able to filter the layers palette. I realise the complications this might add: Should users be able to edit layers in the search results? If so, how do you handle events like reordering layers? It might be easy to just drop back to the normal (non-search results) view as soon as they do anything, but select the top layer from the search results, or the layer they clicked in the search results. Workaround — Scrolling through layers and groups until the desired layer is found. Or, right clicking in the canvas and selecting the correct layer from the list of layers under the mouse cursor.
