Feature Requests

It’d be so helpful to have a sound notification when AI finishes generating fills. Since it usually takes a minute or so, people often switch over to something else while they wait, and then forget they have work to do! A quick sound cue would save time and make the workflow smoother. Alternatives (mas user) could be a pop up badge, a shaking PS icon in the dock.  Thank you!J

Earlier today Photoshop updated and added advertisements for new “features” to the front page.  I pay you money. I should not have to scroll past advertisements for features I neither want nor use to get to my own files interface. I don’t want to have to disable the welcome screen entirely, I want it to be functional again.  These should be optional. Add a toggle for them. 

Photoshop Beta had a whole bunch of incredibly useful actions in the actions panel, and they were reduced. It’s now just a small offering. While still useful, the other actions were incredibly creative and fun, and as a professional designer, I loved exploring them. Particularly the black and white options and color modifications, the sky action, etc. 😭

Whaaaaaat.I'm finding it incredibly hard to believe that every graphics program supports using the brush and pen through touch screens EXCEPT for Photoshop, the Queen of them all. Am I really going to have to draw in GIMP?I'm well aware that touch screens aren't nearly as ideal as graphic tablets but really, GIMP even supports pressure sensitivity and Photoshop doesn't support anything?Please, please incorporate this feature, it should have come standard years ago.

please make it possible to have one key for shortcutsi dont like clicking multiple keys for an action i just want one keyit will save a lot time, i use in premier, and after effect but i cant in photoshop“for this screen shot i wanted ‘-’ for save instead of ‘CTRL+s’ which is too much 

Not only photoshop, all of softwares by adobe.Many artists who using adobe products don't want to using & supporting generative ai at all.we have rights to opt-out from these things like generative ai tools in software, unwanted ads and nofitications.

I love using the Pattern Preview function for standard repeats. Is it possible to use this function for a half drop repeat?

When drawing in Photoshop, a lot of times I like to use Lasso tools to add or to erase the subject; however, it takes so long to continuously lasso every single time when I want to same shapes consistently when using symmetry turns on.By adding extra features to lasso tool that can select shape shapes across with symmetry would definitely cut down the time of manual work of lasso.

Bonjour. Quand on utilise l’Outil supprimer, une fois la zone à supprimer validée, Photoshop est bloqué sur le calcul et on doit attendre la fin pour pouvoir travailler. Il nous faut pouvoir travailler les autres images pendant que le calcul de modification s’effectue sur l’image… Je suis photographe de mariage avec souvent 2500 photos à retoucher par session et cette attente est insupportable. Il faudrait pouvoir passer à une autre image et travailler sur autre chose, puis revenir sur l’image modifiée.  Merci. 

There’s no way to have true duel color stroke effect when painting. At the moment the only thing we have is color jitters when painting. Thus making every part of the stroke being a different color.It would make life so much easier and faster if we had the ability to have a duel tone brush stroke like this: https://x.com/jferdaous1/status/2066567525446701497?s=20Or at least photoshop gives us the ability make our own script plugins for brushes and tools. I often find myself swapping to other programs for what should be now standard or basic features.Honestly the whole brush settings panel needs an overhaul and push of new features.

When using Generative Fill on transparent backgrounds, the AI constantly generates useless background pixels (like grey artifacts/floors) instead of transparency. When we try to select these unwanted pixels and hit the "DELETE" key, Photoshop completely blocks us with a dynamic layer error message. We shouldn't have to manually right-click and "Rasterize Layer" every single time we just want to clear an area. Adobe needs to either allow direct deletion on these layers (by auto-rasterizing behind the scenes) or give us an option to bypass this restriction. It's totally destroying the workflow for cutting, compositing, and character design.

I believe many others have a distaste for the inability to dock the contextual task bar. It becomes a tedious thing to continually have to move while working in Photoshop. It's always in the way, and pinning doesn't really work well. I suggest making it able to be docked like any other panel, integrating into the control (options) bar like every other contextual task before this, or adding to the properties panel. I'm not a beginner, so why am I forced to have a beginner-like user experience? The beauty of Photoshop and other Adobe software is to be able to customize your tools for your workflow and how you like them. This takes away from that, and other Adobe software such as Illustrator is starting to copy what Photoshop did. I love gen fill, however, so it presents a conundrum. Do I only turn it on when I'm using gen fill or always leave it on? To the best of my knowledge, gen fill is the only thing that the bar has that there's no other way to do other than to go to

I would like an option in Photoshop Preferences to disable the automatic creation of layer masks on Adjustment Layers and filter masks on Smart Filters.While masks are an important part of non-destructive editing, many professional workflows use adjustment layers purely for global image corrections. In my own work, I only need a mask on a small percentage of adjustment layers. The remaining masks are unused and create unnecessary visual clutter in the Layers panel.Currently, every adjustment layer and Smart Filter creates a mask by default, even when it is not needed. This results in larger layer stacks, reduced readability, and extra clicks when removing masks manually.I would like to see a preference such as:Create masks on Adjustment Layers by default: On / Off Create masks on Smart Filters by default: On / OffThe default behavior could remain unchanged for existing users, while advanced users could opt into a cleaner workflow.This would improve layer management, reduce interface cl

Customizable Save As Menu Photoshop’s Save As workflow is currently based on a fixed, predefined list of file formats. An optional feature in Preferences could allow users to fully customize this menu to match their workflow while preserving the current behavior as the default.Proposed Features1. Custom Format VisibilityUsers could choose which formats appear in the Save As menu.Unused formats could either:be completely hidden, or remain visible but disabled/grayed out.This would significantly reduce menu clutter while still preserving discoverability.2. Custom Format OrderingUsers could drag and reorder formats according to their needs.For example:PSD TIFF PNG JPEG PDFinstead of scrolling through a long list of rarely used legacy formats.3. Keyboard SelectionUsers could assign number keys to formats.Example:1 = PSD2 = PNG3 = JPEG4 = TIFFWhen the Save As dialog opens, pressing a single number key would immediately select the desired format.4. Save PresetsUsers could assign one or more

I don’t know why this isn’t a feature for PS already, but please give us the ability to mirror smudging and liquidifying. Procreate has it so it’s clearly possible, and it’s so easy to and intuitive. I will literally leave the PS app just to go use them in procreate. I use symmetry a LOT in my work… So please… I beg

The masking tools in Camera Raw are easy, efficient, and powerful, especially with the Alt Intersect shortcut. It might be very useful, if we could export them to be re-used in Photoshop, even if we lose their dynamicness.

Create a second additional cursor for Windows that is controlled by your AI. The program could use it to teach me, for example, Photoshop.

This will effect a few aspects so I will just go over one example. Canvas size, we are presented with Width, unit, Height, unit… These can be tabbed through but it’s not instinctive, you enter width then have to tab twice to get to height, it should be enter width then tab to height, never have I ever had to change a width unit to be different to a height unit, I wouldn’t ever need width as pixels and height as millimetres… can you just separate the units to be above the size. Work flow is then Canvas size > enter width > tab once > enter height. A small tweak but if this is implemented across New Document and Export, it will save a lot of clicks. Cheers! 

First, I really like this feature. Having actions available as buttons with assigned shortcuts can significantly speed up repetitive workflows.A few suggestions:Shortcut conflicts: If a shortcut is already in use, Photoshop should show which command or action is using it and allow users to reassign that shortcut directly from the conflict dialog instead of simply blocking the assignment. Editable save settings: For save-related actions (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, etc.), it should be possible to open and edit the associated save settings directly from this panel, including compression, transparency, ICC profiles, metadata, layers, and other format-specific options. Better keyboard navigation: Pressing Enter should save changes immediately. Pressing Esc should return to the previous screen. The entire interface should be fully keyboard-accessible. Basic UX. Save button placement: The Save button sits at the bottom of the panel. Consider moving it higher, duplicating it at the top, or relying

  Is there a way to disable this. I know it is a Windows feature for navigating without a mouse but who really uses PS without a mouse.  If I start to do a key command and press alt then realize I want to do something else I have to hit Escape. If I don't hit escape menus start to drop down when I try to use my tools. I can not stand this navigation feature and it has been bugging me for years. If I remember correctly the Mac version of photoshop does not have this.

When I open a RAW file in Camera Raw, I proceed directly to develop the photograph. In my workflow I immediately create a duplicate of the layer to work on, thereby preserving the original. It would be useful if the preferences offered an option — a checkbox — to automatically create that duplicate of the original when exiting Camera Raw.

Disable the bizarro pulsating blue ring around the ‘lightbulb’ icon in Photoshop 2026. In addition to being distracting (and annoying), this ring also keeps pulsating above some other apps when leaving Photoshop.More info here:https://community.adobe.com/topic/show?tid=1178717&fid=712

Adobe, a request for you please.  A request born from two decades of working with applications, application developers, and application error messages: Please, for the love of God, when you present an error to a user, make sure that error is accurately descriptive.  For the exorbitant rates we pay to use this software, the least you can do is not pepper it with error messages that waste our time in addition to our money.   To wit: this afternoon I spent over an hour fighting the sudden appearance of an error message when trying to open .webp files (which were working fine yesterday, then suddenly not fine today).  Various iterations of this message included:   First, out of the blue: "Could not load the user measurement scale presets file becasue Photoshop does not recognize this type of file".  Then after resetting my measurement scales to the defaults: "Could not import the clipboard file becasue Photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

I edit real estate photos and replace ugly grey New Zealand skies all the time. I have a library of about 500 skies that I’ve uploaded to Adobe. When I hit F7 the default is always the top sky in my box. I scroll down till I find a suitable one (e.g. sky 365). But when it’s not looking good and I want to choose another sky, I don’t want to scroll from the top sky again, rather carry on from sky 365. This is wasting a lot of time. Simply changing the colour around the last sky selected from blue to something bright, like red, will go a long way. 

Ability to purchase an (additional) ‘block’ of AI Credits without having to upgrade your plan.Normally I find my current plan gives me enough AI credits for my needs. However very occasionally I have a project that requires a few more than my normal monthy ‘allowance’ under my plan.It would be really useful to be able to buy a block of additional credits that could be added as required.
