Feature Requests

Having enjoyed photoshop on windows, I decided to have a go at trying it on IpadOS, using the Apple Pencil feels great. I am a fan of the general interface too, however, ( and please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this ) I am unable to utilize the Apple Pencil pro fully. I checked the input slide in the apps settings and was excited to see It's built-in double tap feature there. It is supposed to be super handy in making workflow faster, switching to eraser, undo, etc. but for some reason it just won't respond to it when I try. Other art based apps already have this integrated and optimized. Was really, really hoping the photoshop app would follow. Would make for a much better experience. 

It's not working currently.   Lets photoshop temporary rasterize  the smart object while wrapping  and then  bring the deforming mesh to original smart object.     Surprizingly  mesh deform works  with smart objects  and pattern preview  so I am not sure if puppet wrap is just  a bug actually. 

Need option to have background shape/color for the text. Which auto fits based on the font size.

Hello, Rather than receiving a message asking me to convert the Grayscale image to RGB, Lab or CMYK before using Generative Fill, I would prefer the mode change to be automatic and for the message to tell me that my image has just been converted to RGB and that I am free to convert it to another colour mode. Thank you.  

It would ne so useful to be able to create shapes with the pen tool, and add rounded corners that you can drag just like with the rectangular shape tool.  Id like to do corner radii on my paths/shapes.

Specifically for Photoshop, when selecting multiple anchor points to delete, there must be a button on the 'Delete anchor point tool' options under Pen Tool to delete those selected points, or at least allow deleting them via the 'Delete' keyboard button without breaking the shape. So far, the only direct solution is to click 'Delete anchor point tool' and keep on deleting those anchor points one by one (but it sucks to do so on a very fragile and complicated shape with a ton of anchor points). This can be done in Illustrator; however, it's necessary to be done directly in Photoshop too, without the need to back-and-forth from there.

I could very well be mistaken (and if I am someone please let me know), but I'm reasonably sure that these Transform Controls/abilities are only available when transforming (Cmd T/Ctrl T). It would be helpful to also have them in the Properties Panel when shapes are "Live" (see attached pic). It would speed-up workflow.

Dear developers! Will we ever see these pen pressure settings in Photoshop?  

Hello, I am experiencing a problem with a Photoshop file that is very large in size because it contains many smart objects and has large content. However, when trying to find which layer contains the large file, I cannot decide whether to delete it or rasterize the smart object layer because not all of those layers are unimportant. If the layer palette could display the file size of smart objects, it would be very helpful for me to take action to make it useful for hard drive space efficiency. Thank you.

I thought after my eye surgery this was not going to be a thing. My eyes are fine and the menubar displays at a 6 point font size. I have tried everything, UI interface, open/close. I've tried the .exe "system" setting which didn't do anything. This has been a long time issure for many. What I would suggest: Open up Word and at the bottom of the screen there is a slide bar. The text in the document can be adjusted to the users liking. Perhaps this idea could become part of the menubar in Adobe. Add a slider bar to adjust the menu font size to the users liking. I spoke to a support person and they told me that it Microsofts problem and all the settings had to be done through the Windows Settings feature. OR perhaps you could add a Zoom in / Zoom Out feature that we use in our browers, CTRL - and CTRL +. I have to say it is becoming unberable not to work normally. Let's start the new year, 2026, with larger menubar sizes! Thanks for listening from a long-time user (Macromedia) Happy New

I wish that it were possible to show/hide blend if effects similar to how you can show/hide other layer style effects. Sometimes I have several copies of a layer each with different blend if effects and it would be helpful if I could turn the effects off and on to see how they interact with each other.

PS for iPad does not provide any ability to ACTUALLY manage your brushes. Fresco lets you "favorite" brushes, but PS (iPad) doesn't allow any sort of organizing brushes, so going between certain brushes you commonly use requires a scroll through all the brushes until you find the one you want. Can a feature be added to allow "favorites" and/or the ability to create custom brush folders?

Photoshop for iPad is great, and I'd really like to see Extruding added as an option. Along with Bayer-Ordered Dithering filters. 

Perspective Crop is a great tool for correcting the perspective of an image that is inside another image like a poster on the wall. You select the four corners of the poster and the tool returns the poster in a flat, no perspective image that matches the original poster to what it is possible from the source picture.   But what if the image you want to straighten is on a curved surface? Think about a publicity poster in a subway tunnel or a sign on a cylindrical column. or even a logo on a football ball. In those cases, Perspective Crop Tool can't straighten the image. but all those cases could be solved if the straight edges of the trapezoid could be pulled in a curve to adapt to the situation. This would be something similar to the Warp Mode in the Free Transform where you have the transform rectangle subdivided in a 3x3 grid and you can curve the sides but instead of curving the image, you are curving the cropping frame to adapt to the curved image.       Here is a mockup of how t

Hi all, Giovanni here. Huge PS fan and user.   I love working with artboards in Photoshop, they allow me to condense in a single file multiple iterations and/or version of creatives.   I sometimes find myself using Photoshop to design print creatives. Sometimes I'm designing such prints using artboards.   I understand I can set bleed when exporting single-artboard files, but when I have multiple artboards PS applies the bleed settings treating the whole workspace as if it was a single big artboards.   Thus I'd like to ask: will it be possible in the future to apply bleed settings to single artboards?   I hope this is comprehensible and useful to fellow users too. Looking forward to receiving feedback! Best, Giovanni

Currently, there appears to be no way to select/eyedrop a color from the CC Libraries panel when the Layer Style dialogue is open. For example, if I want to apply a color to my Stroke, or Color Overlay layer styles, I'm not able to eyedrop a color from within my CC Library. (MacOS)   In some earlier versions, you could "drag" the eydropper across the screen and over to the desired color in your libraries panel, but this no longer works (Photoshop 2026). Doing this only pans your artboard off the screen.The only workarounds I've found are 1) sorting the Library swatches in descending order so that their HEX codes are displayed to the right, then I manually type the color into the color picker (but this is incredibly inefficient, and frustrating since the colors are RIGHT THERE, just a click away) or 2) before I open the dialogue, I pre-select the color so that it is loaded into my foreground color on the toolbar, which IS an area of the screen I can eyedrop while the layer styles p

Hi all, Giovanni here. Huge PS fan and user. As I love using PS software across devices, I'm noticing that the files I saved in Projects in my Creative Cloud on the desktop (MacOS) version of Photoshop, aren't really visible on the iOS Photoshop app counterpart. I can see files stored in the main CC folder instead, but I can only access those. Is there a reason for this? Or am I missing something?Will browsing through Project files will be made available for Photoshop iOS too in the future? Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks, and merry ChristmasGiovanni

I love the live brushes on adobe fresco and I think it would be very helpful if they were available on Photoshop too on mac. If they are supported on ipad, i dont find a reason not having them on desktop too, as its more powerful!

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!

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.
