Feature Requests

HiI've recently moved from Windows to Mac and because of this I’ve also moved from Photoshop CS4 (it did everything I needed it too for a very long time) to Photoshop 2025. In CS4, when minimising document windows within Photoshop, they would be constantly visible as tabs at the bottom of the work space, making it really easy to click on any that you would need to work on / switch between / see what you have open at a glance. But now, in the 2025 version, they just disappear. To see them, I have to 'right click' the PS icon in the dock, click 'show all windows' and select the document window I want to re-instate it OR click on 'window' and scroll down to it there... and then repeat for both if I want to re-instate multiple. So, several clicks for each method as opposed to the one click and visibility of files of CS4.So, my suggestion for an improvement would be to go back to the CS4 way of showing minimised document windows.

Currently, Photoshop only allows tool shortcuts to be assigned using English (QWERTY) keyboard characters. For example, the Move Tool can only be assigned to the “V” key, even when using a different keyboard layout, such as Korean. It would be highly beneficial if users could assign shortcuts based on their native keyboard layouts. For instance, allowing the Move Tool shortcut to be set to the Korean "ㅍ" key, which occupies the same physical position as “V” on a QWERTY keyboard. This would improve accessibility and workflow efficiency for users who primarily work in their local language environments. I hope Adobe considers implementing this feature to better support global users.

To be honest, I use Adobe programs for work, however, I wish I had them with me everywhere, I'am an Android user and what I see is that the company has the same kind of positioning as 8 years ago with the Android system , and with that, they prefer to invest more in the IOS system, of course the Apple has advantages due to hardware and security, but many brands who use Android system, it has evolved in this security issue and even with better processors that make the performance of the devices and of better tablets. Isn't it time for the company to rethink this concept of supplying the products to a single public and specific market? Why not develop an Creative Clouds with Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and Fresco for Android?

 The Spot Healing Brush was a breathrough tool in Photoshop and remains to be one of my favorites. However, it does not support a feature that the "regular" Healing Brush has: Sample Current & Below layers. Instead, it can optionally Sample All Layers [or only current layer] as a checkbox. Can Sample Current & Below layers be added as an option for the Spot Healing Brush, similar to the Healing Brush's drop-down menu implementation?  This allows one to place hand-drawn retouching notes on a layer above the retouching layer. The current workaround is to manually toggle the visibility of layers above, which is not efficient. Screenshots of the current (2025 & Beta / 26.5.0 & 26.6.0) UI options attached. Thanks much!

It's too weak. It needs to be more versatile. Maybe even allow airbrush to be enabled so the blur effect can build-up like water on a watercolor painting.

Selection Snapping Request for Photoshop on iPad Request: Add the ability to turn snapping on or off for selection tools (e.g. Lasso, Marquee, Object Selection) in Photoshop for iPad. Current issue: Users currently cannot disable snapping when making selections, which affects precision — especially when working near edges or complex compositions. Expected behavior: Just like in the desktop version, users should have access to: Snap toggle Snap To > Layers, Guides, Grid, etc. Ideally available in the gear/settings menu when a selection tool is active. This would give users more control and accuracy, especially for fine retouching, cutouts, or composite work. Thanks!

As a graphic designer I regularly use Photoshop. When using the Selection tool sometimes I accidentally don't select pixels / my hand slips etc.There is a current feature that automatically opens a tab in your browser every time you do this for "help" – it takes you to a page called "Adjust Pixel Selections". I know what I am doing and it is extremely annoying to be taken out of the app every time my hand slips and this happens.  I can't find anywhere to turn this off and stop it from happening. Can anyone help?  

Photoshop has been the industry-standard software for decades — yet its advanced brush management system has never truly been redesigned.In an era where AI reshapes creative workflows, the lack of a native, flexible, and modern brush library system feels increasingly outdated.It's surprising that Adobe hasn’t fully embraced features already offered by third-party tools like MagicSquire or Brusherator, such as:– Color-coded and collapsible brush groups – Smart tag-based search – A dynamic HUD under the cursor for fast access – The ability to create and switch between brush collections, like switching scenes or stylesPhotoshop should provide a native solution equivalent to Fresco’s brush system — which is far more versatile — with no import limitations for .abr files, and no slowdowns or memory-related bugs when using large brush libraries.It’s time for Photoshop to offer a brush management experience worthy of its legendary status.

Photoshop's Character Styles panel is useful for saving text formatting. However, there is no way to assign a keyboard shortcut directly to a saved character style. This means that even if a style is saved, users still have to manually click on it in the panel or manually adjust multiple properties (font, size, color, etc.) to apply it.This is a major slowdown for anyone who works with text in Photoshop and needs to quickly apply different styles, especially to specific words or phrases within a text layer.Current workarounds are frustrating:Manually clicking styles is slow.Trying to record actions to apply styles often doesn't work reliably for text that you select with your mouse; it might only apply to the original text you recorded, or the whole layer.Desired Feature:Please add the ability to assign a keyboard shortcut to each saved Character Style directly within the Character Style Options dialog.How it would work (ideal):I define a Character Style (e.g., "Headline Bold").In the

I'm using Photoshop's Data-Driven Graphics with data sets extensively, and overall it's a fantastic feature. However, there's a major limitation when it comes to image replacement — specifically, the inability to apply perspective transformations automatically. Currently, if I want an image to appear in perspective (e.g. skewed or distorted to match a mockup), I have to pre-warp each image individually before importing it via data sets. This is time-consuming and defeats much of the automation potential. Smart Objects already solve this problem manually — if I relink the contents of a Smart Object, the replacement image automatically inherits the Smart Object's transforms, including perspective. This works beautifully. My suggestion (or plea!) is to allow Smart Object relinking via data sets, in the same way that pixel replacement works now — by supplying a filename in the dataset. Conceptually, this seems like a relatively simple addition, as it could trigger the same r

I want the remove button to be able to detect additional objects from sensors and cables, such as: wall sockets, speakers, sidewalk lamps, public bins, papers on the floor, cigarette butts, chewing gum stuck to the floor

As a Photoshop user who frequently collaborates with artists using Clip Studio Paint, I would love to see native support for the .clip file format in future versions of Photoshop. Directly opening or importing .clip files would greatly enhance workflow efficiency and cross-software compatibility.

I've been using PhotoShop since about PS3 in the late 1990's.  It has been my go-to package for scores of drawings in 11 granted U.S. Patents.  Since my patent work is proprietary, I don't trust or use the cloud.  I got tired of screaming at Windows and slowly switched to Mac, mostly minis, starting with the PowerPC version.  So now I use PhotoShop 7.01 on a Mac M2 mini using CrossOver.  CrossOver doesn't fully support PS7, and sometimes the glitches are even worse that dealing with PS7 on my faltering Win7 computer (now out in storage).  I could learn to use Gimp, but have strong muscle-memory in PS7, and I've gotten way to old to learn new things easily.   I really, really want a full-featured, stand-alone, buy once version of PS7 that runs securely, reliably and natively in MacOS on either Intel or Mac silicon.  

This would be a total gamechanger and completely change my workflow: the ability of applying filters such as Camera Raw or a simple Gaussian Blur to an adjustment layer would save so much time- talking about this given the new Clarity/Remove fog/Noise/Temperature-tint adjustment layers update that's been announced on Instagram. It's something the competence (Affinity Photo) does have and it's amazing. As for how it'd work- it would probably have to be just a "Smart Filter Adjustment Layer" which applies to all the layers below (something similar to After Effects)- same thing for previsualization of the effect, all the layers below. Live changes would be amazing. This would probably consume a lot of cpu so, in that case, it could be added as something optional to activate in preferences if you have a good PC/Mac. Would LOVE to see this happen. 

This is something that would really be helpful. The ability to select objects inside your lasso tool selection that are on multiple layers. You could select the layers you want and photoshop could move and manipulate the objects inside your selection that are on those layers.Why would this useful. Well at work I have alot of elements composed together to create a single portion of the image. It would great to be able to edit these pieces as a whole without having to flatten the image or dissect each element into its on layer. I know people I work with wanted this ability to and I hope others out there might feel its useful for their work flow as well. Thanks for listening.

I'd love the option of turning off the automatic box that appears whenever I just choose a layer. That's new and annoying, as is the loss off being able to deselect an object by just double clicking. Double clicking is much more convenient than rolling over to the layers panel and clicking, and it's worked for about 25 years—until now. These are two more examples of "If it ain't broke don't fix it."

I can add a local photo or file (in the apple files app) and an image (jpeg) from LR, but I cannot mege another PS file into another.  The files are not saved locally (and thus unavailble via files) and filetered out of LR view (because they are PS files)   There is no easy was to copy a layer/selection on IOS   This is part of my workflow if my camera images require transparancy in post production.   [Moved from ‘Lightroom ecosystem forum’ to ‘Photoshop ecosystem forum’ by moderator.]

When we put a photo of an A4/Any Size scanned paper in Photoshop, even if it is taken from a mobile, if some unwanted part appears on the outer portion of that paper or the A4 page, then it has to be selected manually… Photoshop should add an Option or a Checkmark in the Crop Tool, in which whatever part of the scanned page is visible, it should automatically crop it and remove the unwanted part, and even if the corners of the page are crooked, it should straighten them… At present, all this work has to be done manually, but Photoshop should provide Autodetect Feature like Mobile App CamScanner.

I save a lot of workspace preferences for different types of work I do. Particulaly between drawing on a Cyntiq and when I'm simply adjusting or designing. Sometimes when I migrate from one workspace to another the Option bar either disappears. I look at all three screens and nowhere to be found. I have to try and move to another workspace to get it back on, but the previous workspace is pretty useless when it disappears. I tried hiding it and not hiding it it simply isn't there.Other times the left edge of the option bar for some reason is in-between two screens and I can't grab the edge to move it over.So my idea is why can't the right edge of the option bar also be used to grab it? It would solve one part of this issue. It seems like a very simply thing to do. I don't know this this may have already been fixed since I'm using Adobe 2024 on macOS Monterey. I've been having this issue for years. I was always hoping a new update woudl address this (can't update anymore cause my co

Official JXR support is desired given Windows natively supports it, and creates JXR files when making screenshots in HDR. A previously made plugin is now no longer installable.https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52369 A native solution for viewing created HDR images on PC (especially since it's not possible in photoshop) would be very valuable to me. Here's an example file taken from the latest Spiderman Game release. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xi8ebwawl9o17r/Marvel%27s%20Spider-Man%20Remastered%20v1.831.2.0%209_5_2022%2010_00_58%20PM.jxr?dl=0  

Hi all, I am desperately reporting a very inconvenient brush size-saving feature in Photoshop and begging for a fix.I originally started using Photoshop, but I continually feel stressed because of the lack of a brush size memory feature. I’ve used Clip Studio Paint, which has a feature that remembers each brush's size individually. However, I want to continue using Photoshop because I love this program. Here’s a feature that I believe Photoshop must add:I want each brush to retain the last size I used for it separately (meaning, I want each brush to remember its own last-used size, instead of sharing the same size across all brushes).For example, as you all know, when I use Brush A with a default size of 5 and change its size to 20, then switch to Brush B and return to Brush A, the brush is no longer at size 20. It automatically reverts to its originally registered size of 5.To make the brush remember the size I last used, I tried saving Brush A as a new brush preset and unchecked the

Hi, I know its early days as its just been released but are there any plans to support the barrel roll / squeeze functions on the new Apple Pencil Pro? As far as I can see hover isnt supported as yet and thats been about for a bit... any news / thoughts? Thanks
