Feature Requests

Dear Adobe Photoshop Team,I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding the exclusion of figurative artists, particularly those who depict nudity, from accessing the generative AI fill tool in Adobe Photoshop. As a female artist who primarily works with the human figure, this decision feels both wrong and deeply unfair.The human figure has been a central subject in art since the dawn of civilization, and nudity has been an integral aspect of artistic expression throughout history. Many artists, myself included, utilize the female form as a means of exploring themes of beauty, identity, and the human experience. By excluding artists who work with nudity, Adobe is effectively marginalizing a significant portion of the artistic community.The Generative Fill Tool holds immense potential for artists like myself, offering innovative ways to enhance and expand our creative processes. However, by restricting access based on subject matter, Adobe is limiting the tool's us

Currently, if a shape layer is selected, the lasso tool has no purpose.It would be nice if it could select path points, just like in Illustrator.

In Illustrator I can right-click on the color in my library and select "add to swatches". I do not see that option for Photoshop. I've been doing a workaround of making a square and using the eyedropper, then adding the color to swatches. Or I write down the hex code and manually enter it in.  There has to be a better, more efficient way to work with the libraries.  

I found Photoshop's UI scaling doesn't work in Windows 11, but Illustator and Indesign work very well. Comparing the setting interface below, I really think the Illustator one is much more straightforward and easier.

When I'm opening or closing batch of images, dialog box for confirmation to open or close are not on the same position, so I have to move cursor for every image again and again.And of course I cannot use enter key, because dialog box windows do not keep focus on them. It is really annoying behaviour. Why dialog boxes are not still on fixed position?

It would be really useful to expand the shortcut capabilities in Photoshop. Currently, there are some limitations. I can’t assign just any key combinations because many are already reserved. Why not try implementing sequential key combinations, such as (CMD+SHIFT+Y, Y)?Additionally, it would be great to have the option to assign shortcuts to the Tool Presets panel. 

PHOTOSHOP DEVS: Currently, after making a marquee selection (e.g. selecting a person in a photograph) the procress for contracting and feathering that selection is very number-oriented. 5 pixels? What does a 5 pixel feather look like? 5 pixels looks very different when working with a low-res photo vs. a high-res photo. If you don't like the feathering amount after you apply it then you have to start over. I propose a visual way to contract, expand, and feather a marquee selection (similar to the brush adjustment mathod). What if holding control+option+click dragging left, right, up, and down could give you a red overlay that showed you visually what that new selection would look like?

PHOTOSHOP DEVS: The Selection Brush tool is a great way to take a rough idea and generate derivative art by setting the opacity around 50%. The only problem is I will usually need to adjust the opacity up and down to get the generations that I like (this process either gives the AI more creative freedom or tells it to be more derivative). To do this I need to re-brush my selection each time. It would be great if there was a checkbox called "Dynamic Opacity".  After I brush my selection I just can adjust the percentage in the input field and it will update the selection's opacity, allowing me to run another generation quickly.

when working on the line in the curves tool (1), any change in one area result in massive changes in other areas (2). The pencil option is ugly and inaccurate (3). Could we have a new option, in which a diagonal line, divided into sections which will protect other areas of the histogram from changes in one zone will be displayed automatically (4)? 1: 2: 3: 4:Making these points yourself for every image is tedious and moves the line a bit as you determine the points. THIS IS TRUE FOR CAMERA RAW TOO!  

generative fill in Photography plan (20GB)  Use only 100 times  It's too little.   /  Why limit? When buying genuine Restrictions should be waived for Photoshop.  / The number of generative fill should be increased from 100 to 1000.  For those who use the genuine Photography plan (20GB)       [Reference to illegal activity removed by moderator.

Photoshop Devs: I'm currently using an AI tool called Expression Editor [link removed by moderator] which is based off an open-source AI technology called Live Portrait.    In my line of work facial expressions need to be nuanced. Eyebrows, corners of lips, teeth, pupil direction, hand direction, and many more subtle facial details are critical. Currently your Smart Portrait filter is not powerful enough to do all these thing so I use Expression Editor and bring the output back into my file.   Please consider mimicing their features. Perhaps consider embellishing with other neck movements (e.g. crane, lean back). I like how they use sliders for all their attributes so the exact expression can be dialed in. 

Why not make zooming in Liquify as smooth and convenient as it is in the main Photoshop interface?I always use the "Z" shortcut and move the pen to zoom seamlessly. However, in Liquify, the zooming process is jerky rather than fluid, forcing me to use alternative, less convenient methods. This makes the workflow much less efficient.

Hi there, I think there should be a simple way to create a PDF based on the Layers within the file... This would be different than creating multiple files as would happen when doing the "Layers to Files" option because instead of creating several files, only one would be made that contains all of the layers within the project... Another way to describe it would be to convert each layer to a page within a single PDF document... The best solution I"ve found thus far is to use Layer Comps, but this tool is not designed for what I'm suggesting... Obviously there should be a separate window that opens when trying to do this operation and it would allow for a couple of different variables to be selected for or against... Each Layer should be visible in the Window and would be checked on or off depending on if the user wishes for it to be included in the PDF. There should also be an option to do a "Quick Export" that would create a smaller PDF file with less quality..

Hello adobe teamThere are a large number of Tamil speaking people living all over the worldTamils like us use more photoshop in India, more photos in Tamil Nadu are using more software, so we kindly request you to include our Tamil language in the list of your languages.Ganeshkumar - Wedding album Designer - India - Tamilnadu State - Mayiladuthurai District

I love the lessons in learn (but they got moved recently). I use this to teach. Please make more 'Get Started' and 'Hands-on Tutorials' as these are an awesome resource for the web version. Please put these back in the default learn menu too.

this stuff too bright

Let's improve the Curves by adding RGB buttons to switch between the channels!Now, with the drop-down list, we have to click twice - first time to activate the list, second time to choose the channel. Buttons would speed up the workflow. 🙂     That's what we've already got in ACR.Showing the opposite colors is also a good idea, by the way.But it could be optional - some experienced users may find it distracting. 

Just compare the Selective color and Color balance sliders. Which are more intuitive?)  I believe, the Color balance is used even by children who can't read. 🙂And the monochrome Selective color... first you should read the text, then you should remember which colors are opposite... that takes more time & effort. Make the Selective color sliders gray GREAT again! 😄 

Hi, We should be able to change the background in Photoshop to a medium grey in order to be able to verify the colour with our eyes and a calibrated screen. RGB 125/125/125 Thanks

New Feature Request.  Situation - you have a section of your catalog dedicated to one event/trip.  There are 1000s of images.  You are working your way thru them and have processed (edited) a couple of hundred.  When you are done with them you are exporting them to a website for sharing with others.  Now you want to go back and refine some of the edits - and resavethem to the same website.  But export does not remember the prior export name info - by image.  So you have to 'just know'which folder you saved it to and what it was named.  This is an important part of the image processing workflow.  Pleaseadd a way to save the prior export file name - by image.  Thanks.  It is OK to reach out to me for additional information ifyou do not understand what I'm talking about.  - Jim in the PNW

在天文摄影与图像后期处理领域，精准对齐恒星图像是一项极为关键却又充满挑战的任务。现有的工具在处理这类专业图像时存在明显不足，因此我诚恳建议在Adobe软件中开发恒星对齐功能。天文摄影作品常因地球自转、拍摄设备移动等因素，导致同一目标的不同图像存在位移和角度偏差。目前用户只能依靠繁琐的手动操作，耗费大量时间精力进行对齐，且难以达到理想效果。若Adobe能开发恒星对齐功能，利用先进算法自动识别并对齐图像中的恒星，将极大提升处理效率和精度。这一功能不仅能满足天文爱好者、科研人员对高质量图像的需求，还能拓展Adobe软件在专业图像领域的应用深度，增强产品竞争力，吸引更多专业用户。希望Adobe社区能考虑这一建议，期待在未来版本中看到恒星对齐功能。

  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.

Hi, I just wanted to share an idea I had for the 'Selection Brush Tool'. Often I find myself holding shift with the tool to create straight lines round the edges of the area I am trying to select and then 'colouring in' the shape I have created for my selection. Would it be possible to add a feature that filled in the area that has a selection on outline. If that makes sense. So for example if I drew a square with the selection tool I could CTRL + Shift click (or something similar) in the centre of the square to add the full square to my selection. I feel like this would make a lot of my work waaaay more efficient 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to read! Tom

ぼかし機能を付けてください。iPad版では、ぼかしを適用したい場所を選択してフィルタと補正→ぼかし(ガウス)がありますがiPhone版では実装されていません。 iPhone版は外出時に編集出来るのがメリットですが顔をぼかすことが出来ないと物足りないです。 

Maybe I'm getting old but I feel like the Hue Range slider is getting thinner and smaller. I know how to expand the pallet to make to expand the Width of the slider, but I'd like to also be able to expand the HEIGHT of the slider! Just makes the little grey bar between the top and bottom hues a bit easier to grab and move. It's just hard to slide with a mouse or pen which makes no sense because it's a super precise and useful tool.  Just make it bigger please.
