Feature Requests

Hi Everybody, The Select Subject feature in Photoshop is very impressive. It think that and gen fill are excellent stand-out additions for the software. I think that's really going to be Adobe's niche in AI is taking MidJourney or Stable defusion images and improving them through the use of advanced editing technology. One thing that would be great is similar to Select Subject would be Select Text. Everybody's gunning for 3D and AI video, but text manipulation is is much more industrious for things like t-shirts etc IMHO. Being able to Select Text from an image would only hasten one's ability to work with creative. Thanks for reading. 

With the power of AIAn upscaling plugin is needed for Photoshop that does the simple job of adding details to images to enhance and enhance images.

I just found this forum so I’m not sure if this post is in the right place.  I hope that Adobe monitors this as I would love to see this idea go forward.I am a former professional photographer who now just shoots for the love of doing it.  Back in my film days, I always was interested in panoramas, but back then, that would mean either very expensive equipment or advanced darkroom skills.I started doing digital photography in 2003.  Later on, I learned about stitching software and began to start doing panoramas.  Over the years I learned some tricks and came up with some techniques to improve the quality.  For the past dozen or so years I have settled into using two applications, Photoshop’s Photo Merge, and Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE).Note: Before DPReview went away, I learned that I am far from being the only person who uses just those two programs.I realize that there are other Panorama apps, but they are expensive and between the two that I use,

When merging layers in Photoshop, the resulting layer always takes the name of the topmost layer. Could you add an option for the merged layer to keep the name of the first selected layer instead? This would save time and avoid constant renaming.

Could you add an option in the History panel (and Photoshop settings) to stack new steps at the top instead of the bottom? Most of the time, we only need to go back a few steps, and constantly scrolling to the end becomes impractical when the history gets long. This shouldn’t be too difficult to implement and would save a lot of time. Thanks!

Does this keyboard command exist? I have a smart object in PSD that is a few pixels off from the edge of the artboard... there must be a keyboard shortcut that expands the SO to fill??

Why this no longer exists is mind-boggling as I swear it was part of PSD long ago. Anyways, don't care about Illustrator comments, I know you can set PREFS there.  HAVE SEEN THIS ASKED FOR OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO BRING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE FIX THIS FOR NEXT UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be great to adjust the drop of a pattern, like a halfdrop (1/2) or 1/3 etc... - not only straight view. 

I have a complaint about Photoshop. I have been using the program since the first versions and am really annoyed by the new selectionj tool behaviour, which cannot be turned off in the preferences. Please create a way to turn off the standard display of a transform frame when using the selection tool (I don't want to have to switch the view mode every time). This really gets in the way when working and activating it when needed via Ctrl+T was absolutely sufficient and better than today.(I'm currently using 26.2. on Windows)

The adjustment brush tool is just a step away from being a big time saver.Prior to Mac and photoshop I worked on the old high end sytems of that day.I was an adopter when photoshop came out and team lead on migrating to Macintosh and Photoshop.Ok the adjustment tool would be best to come up with out a preset adjustment. This is a step that most will not use. The brush itself should show a preview inside the brush when moving it around the image , what this does is allow the operator to see the preview of they edit they will make in different color ranges of the image. When doing this the operator can tweak the range of what they are going to edit to make sure it's inn the range requested by the editor. So more or less curve is open , in the adjustment to , operator makes curve edit but does not apply , they move the brush around inside the image to validate the areas of tone bhy seeing a dynamic preview inside the brush itself , if they like the range the click and bush , if they dont

Simple feat request: the ability to cancel  a perspective crop by hitting ESC. When I do a perspective crop, I sometimes click on a wrong point by accident or otherwise wish to abort the crop action. I instinctively hit the ESC button, which would normally cancel most actions, but it does not work unfortunately.  One has to finish the sequence of setting four point. (Yes I'm aware you can change the position of the point afterwards, but if a point is way off you can sometimes lose orentation and it is much faster just to cancel and start over) 

Complete newbie to PS CC here. I take multiple exposures of the night sky and stack them in software to make dim, Deep Sky Objects (DSOs) like nebulae and galaxies visible. This method is very popular among astrophotographers. The format of choice both for acquisition and stacking appears to be FITS files. Currently I can't find a way to open FITS files in PS. I have to convert my FITS files into something PS opens natively. I know of 2 old standalone freeware packages which can do this but I wondered if anyone knew of a way to do it from within PS.  

Hi Adobe, I am a bit pissed that in 2025 I have to spend such a long time manually removing my round edges to make mockups. Is there no way that after I create a smart object and it free transforms into my mockup, I have the option to round the edges? Why do I have to spend so much time doing manually masked round edges? When I create rectangular shape for a mockup, it immediately gives option for rounding the edges but as soon as I need to move to smart object, it looses it. Wouldn't itHi Adobe,I'm frustrated that in 2025 I still have to spend a lot of time manually removing round edges for my mockups. Is there no way to keep the option to round the edges after I create a smart object and transform it into my mockup?When I create a rectangular shape for a mockup, I can easily round the edges. However, once I convert it into a smart object, that option disappears. Wouldn't it be more efficient if the option to round the edges remained available throughout the entire project?Thank you f

Would be great to be able to toggle a layer in PSD so it is a guide layer and not part of the output of the file, similar to what we can do with layers in AE.

Dear Adobe Team,I hope this message finds you well. I am a user of your creative suite and truly appreciate the innovative tools you provide to creators.I wanted to suggest an idea for a new feature: a Curve Generative Tool. This tool would allow users to create generative images or patterns along customizable curves, giving them full control over the design using pen tools. Such functionality could open new creative possibilities, especially for vector and digital artists.Key features of the Curve Generative Tool might include:The ability to define custom curves using pen tools.Options for adjusting density, pattern repetition, or other generative parameters along the curve.Integration with existing design tools like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop for seamless workflows.I believe this tool would resonate with many creators and bring a unique capability to the Adobe ecosystem.Thank you for considering this suggestion. I would be happy to provide further details or examples if needed.Be

Shape color is applied only after clicking on "OK" button in Color Picker dialog. It is better if the color changes immediately to preview the result. \ Best regards, Stephan

Not allowed to save image with greater width than 8192px when saving for web. Seems like a silly arbitrary limit, imposed by Adobe. Please remove

Every new file opened, when selecting "exporting as" jpeg, defaults to 6..I need to be able to set this to 7 (100%).Some days I open 100's of files, edit them, create Photoshop docs, then export to jpg. Sometimes PNG instead.I use the dialogue box "Export As" and drop down to with PNG or jpg.This also allows me to set multiple sizes, gives a good preview, and other options.This needs to be customisable or editable like the Quick export format settings.Please! Adobe.. add a way to set the defaults for this dialogue box.

I understand why there's an index number added to the file name when you export layers to files, but it's not always convenient and I often have to spend ages renaming my files. I have even seen a video of how to re-code Photoshop to stop this happening which works, but it re-sets itself with every Photoshop update. What would be useful is a tick box where you can turn this feature on and off. 

Would love to see the option to drop the file extension from the layer name when loading files into Photoshop layers. The extensions often aren't needed and take up valuable UI space. Also, if users are running scripts that pull the layer name to use elsewhere, the included file extension can create problems. A simple checkbox in preferences would do the trick. It's quality of life request. This would be needed when running the script from within PS and Bridge.

This is needed urgently! The skin smoothing filter should have been designed to include the neck and chest area from the beginning. It's useless without it! Who doesn't have a neck???? Once can't apply skin smoothing to the face alone and leave put the neck. Especially for women, older people. Arms would be nice to include as well. You guys need to design these filters holistically. Please add at least the neck and chest areas to the skin smoothing filter as soon as possible. It's been asked here before. How can you ignore this? Your response is much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm incredibly frustrated with Adobe. I've been using Photoshop CC 2018 since likely 2018 and recently Adobe made it so I could no longer use the software despite my subscription. Instead of opening the app, it gives me the option for a trial version of Photoshop CC 2018. Adobe support told me there was nothing they could do to fix this aside from updating the software or pirating it. The person I spoke to literally told me I should try pirating the software when I asked if that was the only way to use an older version of the software. I'm extremely frustrated because the latest version of Photoshop has ridiculous spec requirements. Photoshop 2018 only needed a minimum of 2gigs of RAM and recommended 8 gigs of RAM. The latest version of Photoshop needs a minimum of 8 gigs of RAM but recommends 16 gigs of RAM. This is getting ridiculous. I primarily used Photoshop for editing, color balance, and text. I do not need any of the new features nor do I want any of the generative AI crap

Perspective Crop affects all layers in a document. Currently that means thatif you have a document with multiple artboardsand you want to correct keystoning on one,using Perspective Crop effectively deletes the content of every other artboard than the active one. I'm currently trying to correct the perspective on 33 screenshots and the perspective crop tool is usually much easier to use than the Transform > Perspective tool, not not in this case. Photoshop 26.2 for Windows 11 Pro, 23H2 Meta: none of the automatic tag sugestions are accurate/useful for this post and I can't type my own, so I had to pick one arbitrarily or be barred from posting.

I, like many others wish for the ability to use the Removal Tool with Gen AI on, without it adding a FireFly tag to content credentials since it's specifically for removal, not adding AI.

I’m certain I’m not the first person to submit this request, but it’s a Photoshop update that would really save me a ton of time today, so I figured I’d add a (possiblly) redundant request to your pile and (maybe) help tilt the scale in the direction of adding a tool to the next update.   Dust spots are a ubiquitous nuisance in the life of digital photographers (even for shooters like me, who are pretty vigilant about cleaning sensors and swapping lenses in relatively dust-free environments). Given the advancements in AI, it seems like the Photoshop could easily integrate a one-click dust removal filter that would save guys like me a significant amount of time in post when we’re dealing with deep dept-of-field exposures.   There are several paid third-party plugins for this. The best (in my research) is produced by Retouch4Me [Link removed by moderator] I routinely use several Retouch4Me AI filters to help streamline my portrait retouching workflow (they tend to be on the exp
