After Effects allows for the use of one layer from the same project to be used as a displacement map for another, with live manipulation of the values being displaced. Can we get some love in Photoshop for something similar? Even just removing the additional step of saving a seperate PSD before you have to guess what amount of pixels you are displacing the object(because there's no live preview for this filter) would make this less arduous. Live preview of the displacement would be a godsend.

Changing the pivot point of a layer/object works fine. But unfortunately after committing the transformation the pivot point always goes back to the centre of the layer/object. Because I do some frame by frame animation in photoshop, it would be very handy to make the pivot point stick to the transformed point. In After Effect & Affinity Photo the anchor point does. Is there a workaround or third-party addon to achieve this behaviour? Thanks for any answer.  Greetings from Hamburg, Walter

Ich würde es hilfreich finden, wenn man mehrere Profile der machineprefs.psp anlegen könnte.Hauptsächlich geht es mir dabei um den Dateiverlauf. Davon würde ich gerne Kunden- bzw. Projektbezogene Versionen verwenden.

I would like a panel with a textbox that says "What would you like to do?"I would describe a task and the software would perform it, using some basic vision and the existing API built into Photoshop. For example:"Select every shape layer and the layer directly below it, and for each, put them in a group.""Add 'preview_' to the start of every layer name""Select the outline of every layer and add a layer mask to each""Copy the layer style from first text layer and apply it to every text layer""Repeat the last 3 operations performed on Layer1 to every layer""Distribute the selected layers in an evenly spaced circle around the center" Strictly speaking, I could open up a project right now, and every 20 seconds, think of another example.To me, this is a significantly more important feature than the ability to use AI to paint or draw for me. There's loads of things that can be done via Action (and I use them a lot), but Actions lack the ability to adjust on-the-fly, and take time t

1 Layer Effects that have their own Mask so that you could create an Effect then customize by Masking areas out.2 A Cast Shadow Effect that allows you to have a tight dark shadow and a wider feathered shadow and to adjust the values as needed.

I need to undercut line art by expanding selections before I fill the area (manual trapping).   In PSD for desktop it's cluncky but easy (SELECT>MODIFY>EXPAND Then choose how many pixels).   I've been asking for this for YEARS on Fresco and I was hoping we would get this on ipad PSD but we are getting dumb AI stuff before things that I actually use. I could be wrong is there a way to do this on ipad PSD?    

Is there any way to set default Method in the Gradient Map to Classic? Gradient Tool still (from PS 24) remembers last setting and it works with Classic as a default, but Gradient Mask (from Layer/New Adjustment Layer and from Image/Adjustments) always "starts" with default Perceptual Method.

Just had an embarrising momment with a client because a generative fill changed something outside of my selection. Every other tool in photoshop only effects the selected area, having generative fill effect areas outside of the selection is strange and confusing. And in this case leads to errors.Can I have an option to make is stick 100% to the selection, please?I'll happly deal with whatever weirdness this creates if it means not having sirpirse errors!

I have folders with lots of files to 'share for review' with clients. Instead of sharing individual files, which is time consuming, why can't there be a feature that shares entire folder?

リリースを期待していましたが、画像のリサイズ機能がないことや読み込んだ画像のピクセル数などが確認できないことが不満です。数値を指定する形でのリサイズができるようにしてほしいです。 他にも加工した画像の保存・書き出しの際のクオリティの指定や露出補正、カラーモード変更といった基本的な機能は実装お願いいたします。

One of my most common workflows is working on clipboard content, but whereas taking a screenshot is super easy, getting it into a Photoshop document is more cumbersome than it could be, with panels, confirmations, extra keystrokes, etc. Could we please have some or all of: FileNew Document From Clipboard if there is clipboard contentEdit > Paste Special...Paste Into New DocumentHome panelCtrl+V creates new image from clipboardNew Document panelCtrl+V creates new image from clipboardYour Recent Items > Clipboard is auto-populated with the clipboard contents (this seems so obvious!) FWIW Photopea has this; you just press Ctrl+V on the landing page and a new image is created, ready to edit, no panels, confirmations, or additional keystrokes. Thanks!

It's becoming difficult to work with generative fill. It sees a woman's leg, it flags it. Today I was working on my own image that I was gonna upload as avatar, I was cleaning up my collar,  when it flagged my neck. Write a script for AI to have a look at what it's flagging. It's exasperating. Your brute force restrictions is making this AI tool disappointing.

There should be a direct instant feedback section in Photoshop. that's hard to miss. a button to capture screenshot of context that accompanies the response or comment. 

I'd be shocked if this weren't already in the works, but this would be an incredible time saver for everyone. I'd like to be able to type in "Cars" then have Ai automatically mask everything in the photo that it finds to be a car. "Windows" in photo of a room with windows and it masks out all of the windows. "Windows and curtains" do the same but also include the curtains. We could create action buttons for selecting things that we frequently do on a day-to-day basis. I'm a real estate photographer so this would be one of the best things ever created since the addition of ai generative fill. Thanks for listening!

Background - I have multiple monitors, one of these is a display tablet. Much of my work, using a mouse is best, but sometimes the tablet is best so I often bring photoshop over to the display tablet and then back to the main monitor depending on what I'm doing My request is: Allow us to pin dialogue Boxes to the main Photoshop window's location, instead of where it was last moved to. When I work a long time on the tablet, and then move to the main monitor, I often find myself searching around for selection/feather/filter dialogue boxes

why is it still so clunky to crop an image to remove all transparent pixels in ps, when lightroom has a checkbox.   The crop too snaps to the image bounds which is fine most of the time, but when you have a 3 or 4 pixels of transparency - and not in a perfect rectangle (so you cant use the trim or crop command), its hopeless.I just cludged an action to do it, but i'm guessing it could be done in about 10 lines of code as a script

Adobe, have you lost your mind? Why doesn't Photoshop offer the AVIF format (outside the Camera Raw plug-in) ? The AVIF format is currently the best format for the web, and Photoshop, the leader in photo processing, doesn't offer it, which is shameful on your part. I think I'm going to unsubscribe and switch to GIMP, which is way ahead of you. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so behind the times on this issue. 

Working on image editing in PS the ability to identify an object through linking to Google Lens search. As an example you have a picture of a flower and you want to know the name of the flower. You can export then load the image in Google Lens. However, you have to save as a JPG first. Create a link to quickly id the object. 

I'm an illustrator and have been getting a workflow with Photoshop for Ipad and ios. I have tried both Fresco and Photoshop, and it is interesting that they both have features and abilities I like, but one doesn't have it all! In general, Photoshop for ios seems to suit my needs better. But there are a few features I'd like to suggest. Gradient: Foreground Color to Transparent - There's no foreground color to transparent option for gradients. This is something I use all the time. There is a workaround where you can flood a layer with color, then apply a layer mask and do black to white gradients to mimic it, but being able to have a foreground to transparent gradient would improve my workflow so much!Brush Size Cursor - This feature is present in Desktop Photoshop and can be toggled on in Fresco, but Ios photoshop has no way to see the maximum brush size. As someone who draws with pen pressure quite a bit, I like seeing how far the brush can go so I can get crispy edges if I reall

The Content aware tracing tool need an "Offset Path" function like Illustrator. Often times a clipping path need to be offset inside the outer edge of an image, to eliminate leaks and to provide image bleed for trapping functions in other software programs.  Thanks

I love that you added functionality to remove distractions such as wires and people.  I would love if you could add cars to that.  i photograph many cityscapes and those darn cars are always in the way.  Thank you for all you do. 

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.

What i'm really missing seems to be a relatively easy feature if yoy export layers to files it would be nice to be able to add the artboardname after the prefix name but before layer name now it just adds a number seems very silly   

I recently discovered what may appear to be an oversight and/or dumb down within Adobe Creative Cloud apps. The vast majority of my post editing is done in LrC. I was not even aware of the differences between LrC, PS, and ACR. I really like the way LrC scale uses the Kelvin scale allowing the user to better understand the image color temperature. LrC provides a better analogy in comparing the image to real world K temps. Not sure what the scales represent in either PS or ACR. Would like to see these apps be set to mirror LrC. This way regardless of the app you are working in and would like to set the temp to ~5600k be the same.  

Could you add icons in the Navigator panel for different window arrangements? We often need to quickly organize open files on the screen, and doing it manually through the menu isn't as practical.Besides that, a one-click option to create a new window from the current image and automatically arrange both—one at "Fit to Screen" and the other at 100%—would be extremely useful. This is a fundamental setup for high-level retouching.
