I thought Focus Mode in Photoshop was supposed to suppress all these kind of "pop-ups" that are very distracting and get in the way of panels such as the one shown in the screenshot below. Photoshop 2025>Settings>Technology Previews (Mac) Edit>Preferences>Technology Prviews (Windows) Enable Focus Mode   Some even pop-up right in the middle of the document area when one is actually working on a document.   I can't tell you what a distraction that is when your trying show a client some work and these kinds of distractions keep popping up.   Photoshop 2025 (ps ver 26.6.1) macOS Sequoia 15.5 2019 MacBook Pro  

This is for multi-display users. Given I'm using an older mac (imac 2015) that still works great and using PS 2024. Can someone explain to me why dialogue windows/boxes do not open near the current document, but probably opens in the location you last used it. So for example if I haven't opened the Selective Color Adjustment Window in a while it will open in another screen I probably used it last. So I'll have to drag the window to the currently window (usually my drawing tablet) and use the functions there. Then the same with Hue Saturation or Levels or Curves, etc. Why aren't they opening in the display that is currently being used? Doesn't that make the most logic. Sometimes my tablet is 2-3 feet away from me. I use a trackpad as well, but if I'm using my pen on the tablet I may have to put the pen on the table to use the trackpad (granted I use the trackpad with my opposite hand, too), but it is not workflow conducive. I've been dealing with this seemingly forever, but haven't seen

It looks like scripting listener and recording actions do not allow access to create shortcuts for this.Is there a way to access the layer panel attributes via scripting? I use Not Visible most often, would like to be able to toggle back and forth easily.

Allows for tools to be reenabled if they are not found in the tool bar.

I know it's America but really, generating black or white female park rangers, the first thing you notice is the breast size, seems like the Ai was trained on Dolly Parton

The first suggestion is to create a graphic without coloring using tools. Then the shape layer of the graphic above is filled with colors, but it itself has no effect. I hope it can be filled with colors.Secondly, it is recommended to use tools to create a colored graphic. Then click on the fill in the upper left corner to color it, but the graphic will not produce a preview with the color selection. I hope it can generate a preview.

Concerning Filters / Blur / Radial Blur 1. Add Preview checkbox. If I remember correctly, in the 1990s it took a while for Radial Blur to render, so it is understandable how Preview was left out. Performance is no longer an issue. 2. Support for pointing the center position by clicking the desired center point on the Document while Radial Blur box is open in the foreground, in addition to the "blur center" box.

Why?For plan renderings, I currently use tree/forest scatter brushes with layer styles applied, but this method doesn't look as great due to not having the shadow in the tree canopy. I thought about having a pattern overlay that incorporates trees canopy shadows, but then you have to get precise with tree brush placements on the edge of forests to match up with the texture and if needing to change the shadow direction, the pattern overlay would need to be rotated too and the forest border would need to be refined.General SolutionCreate a tool that can scatter trees on individual layers so bevel and emboss can be applied to each canopy vs an entire forest canopy mass. Downside is it's processing intensive and if there are significant design updates, the quickest thing would be to delete all trees and run the script again so the script needs to be efficient to run on your average laptop. There would be a "forest area" layer that is just a solid fill for where trees should be scattered/sp

I'm working on creating game assets, and I have been asked to save everything (PNGs) with the ICC turned off. I personally really like generating assets for our pipeline, and it speeds up my processes when it comes to exporting them as a batch with different sizes and versions. Unfortunately, Photoshop does not provide a direct option to disable ICC profiles for PNGs during asset generation. And due to the ICC off requirement, I have to use a third party and extra steps just to remove the color profile. It's a poor work around and it would be amazing to have an option to turn off the ICC for generat assets, or even for the entire exporting process.   Why is it so hard to turn off, and would it be possible to add a button or command to keep it off for exports?  

 Hola, pregunta de principiante.  Cómo se agranda el tamaño de lienzo en la app de Photoshop para iPhone? (Estoy utillizando la última versión de PS en un iPhone SE3).  Uso mucho esa función en la app de escritorio pero no la encuentro en el movil.   Muchas gracias!

It would be nice that with all these features and all this stuff on the cloud that photoshop would also be able to backup your preferences somehow and save them. Instead everytime I have to re-install photoshop, for any number of reasons, if I don't manually back it up myself then it's all lost. I recently had to re-install windows, didn't have the option to back anything up, and now my settings are gone forever. Seems pretty stupid that this isn't already a thing considering how many people have had problems not having their preferences saved or retrievable after looking through posts.

A cool improve (and simple IMO) for the symmetry options would be to center with the active layer. Would be very very useful 😉

I'm not sure what your coders are doing but the UI - icons and text are just shrinking with each and every update. It's now to the point where the product is basically unuseable.  Most designers use large monitors. Personally I'm on an Apple Studio Display which uses the native resolution of 2560 x 1440. The version of Photoshop I am using is 26.6.0 I've attached screenshots with measurements so you can see how crazy small the icons are now - IT - IS - INSANE !!!!!!!! And why are the icons also not scaling when you scale the layer thumbnail size?????? No one should not have to strain and strain and strain to see the various tools, icons and text. It makes it so obscenely hard to use the program. And PLEASE do not tell me to modify my monitor resolution each time I want to use your app. This then throws my whole system out of whack and I have to spend 30+ minutes resetting everything. This is NOT a viable option. PLEASE fix this. This has been problematic f

I believe there was a bas relief filter under parametric filters in the past.  I'd love to see this back again.  Thank you.

Hey, Adobe! Make a filter for stray hairs removal.The retouchers have to do it manually (either with a Stamp or a Healing brush) which takes too much time. The only existing filter which can be used for this is the Dust & scratches.But it's hard to choose the values for removing the most contrasting hairs without blurring all the rest. Usually you can only make them less contrast which is not the result we need — it's blurry and has noticeable artifacts.So, we need a new time saving filter for that purpose.It should detect the most contrasting single hairs and replace them (like the Content aware fill) with the nearest darker color. The same as we do manually with a Clone Stamp in the Darken mode. This retouchers' routine needs to be done by a machine. Either on the basis of the Dust & scratches filter or smth completely new. Probably, the new filter will consider not only the micro contrast (brightness), but also the main direc

Is it possible to have a "active layer and below" swatch option with the "delete" or "healing brush" tools, in the same way that this option exists with the "stamp" or "eyedropper" tools?Currently, only the "all layers" or "active layer" swatch option is available.

So in save for web, it will automatic add hyphen in the file name spacing, in export as there is no such setting or where can i find it? Thanks

App Version: Adobe Photoshop 26.6Platform/OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (MacBook Pro M2 Max)Steps to Reproduce:Enter Liquify mode.Press Z (Zoom Tool) and hold left mouse button while dragging the mouse.Expected Result:Zoom should behave smoothly — just like in the standard Photoshop interface — where dragging the mouse provides fluid, continuous zoom in/out.Actual Result:In Liquify, zooming is stepped or jerky, not smooth. The response feels segmented and unnatural, making it difficult to control the zoom level precisely.Why this matters:This inconsistency breaks the workflow. Smooth zooming is a standard, expected behavior in Photoshop, and should be consistent across all tools, especially Liquify, where precision and fluidity are critical for retouching.

In Photoshop 25.5+, the transform controls on smart object layers no longer respect the layer mask's bounds. Instead, the transform handles default to the entire smart object, even when a mask is active.This is a major disruption to workflows that rely on quickly resizing or adjusting masked areas without affecting the full layer. Previously, selecting a layer mask allowed for tight, accurate transforms around the masked content. Now it requires cumbersome workarounds like rasterizing layers, manually loading mask selections, or using additional transform steps. Please consider either:Restoring the old behavior when a layer mask is selected.Adding a Preference toggle that allows users to choose between "Transform by Mask Bounds" or "Transform by Full Smart Object Bounds."This change slows down professional workflows and makes mask-based smart object editing less intuitive.To the powers that be, PLEASE take this into consideration, thank you!

Within the Camera Raw window, there are a number of controls that I rarely/never use.  Talking to other creators that utilize CR, they all agree that there are a few (15-20) that are used on almost every image - while there are a number that we almost never utilize.  It would be incredible if we could either (or both):- Create a favorites window where we could stack our most-often used controls- Allow the user to hide rarely-used controls.

I would like to suggest adding a dedicated command in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings that allows switching between Tool Presets — such as "Next Tool Preset" and "Previous Tool Preset."Currently, there's no way to assign a shortcut for selecting a different Tool Preset directly. The only available options are for managing presets (load, save, reset, etc.), but not for navigating through them during active work.This feature would greatly enhance workflow efficiency, especially for users who rely heavily on Tool Presets and want to cycle through them quickly without using the mouse. Please consider adding this functionality to make Tool Preset usage more dynamic and keyboard-friendly. 

I would love to have a preferences item that allows me to remove the 19 file formats that I will never use to make the 3 or 4 file formats I do use much easier to find in the list.

I have a lot of images consisting primarily of light text, on a dark background, for  example:I write programs in Linux.  Linux has lots of commands, and most commands have LOTS of options (parameters) -- too much for my old brain to retain, so I copy and print articles from the web, which typically contain images like that shown above. I have tried various filters to clarify the text, plus selection tools on enlarged images then painting the selections and inverses with the paintbrush, but with only limited improvements in the readability of the text.  It would be great if an AI tool could recognize and sharpen the text.
