Feature Requests

With a big document it can take so long to find things nested within layer groups, often you need to scroll forever. I often have more than 500 layers in a document It would be great to be able to put in bookmarks which would also be acessable via shortcuts to jump around the layer panel. These could be added next to the layer search bar, see attachedFurther more dragging a layer or group over the bookmark at the top would place this layer just above (or below if alt is held) Further to this it would be great if we could split the view of the layer panel into 2 so if there is 2 sections of a document that need work you could keep each part visible. Obviously it would also be great to be able to drag layers between these sub panels if needed.

I work extensively with deeply-layered screen-resolution documents (ie. mock-ups). I like to keep my history -- or at least some of it -- of experiments as Layer Comps. But every now and again, these PSDs will get prohibitively heavy. So what I'm looking for is a command, or script, that will let me purge any layer which is not visible in ANY Layer Comp in the file. Does such a script exist?

Hi guys, I've been working with PS for more than 10 years and I found a few things that should be tackled in future versions. However there is one feature which I am really missing ever since. It would have saved me a lot of time, and (to me) it's so obvious: projects! I simply want to save my current status of photoshop, including my opened documents and their positions on the workspace. The reason simply is, that I am regularely working with more than just a few files at the same time. I am in the games and web business working with lots and lots of smaller assets. If I need to shut down my computer (which is actually required in my company over night) then I have to reload all my files manually on the next working day. I think this feature has to go into PS in one imaginable way or another after so many years. Even more as there are a number of other Adobe Tools (e.g. After Effects) which had that from the beginning. And PS isn't bound to one single field in graphics anymore - i

Two Suggestions:1) Be able to re-position Reference Image Gallery images toward the top and lock them down from randomly moving each time feature is selected. Makes them easier to find. Also label the reference images so that the process chosen can be documented for future reference.2) Allow the Content Type, Reference Images, and Effects to be applied to  an existing photograph and not having to use a prompt to apply the A.I. to a person's own photo.

Photoshop currently lacks native support for exporting images in base64 format, a crucial feature for web developers who often embed images directly into HTML or CSS.Adding the ability to export images as base64 would greatly improve the workflow for developers, eliminating the need for external tools or manual conversions. This would make it easier to integrate images seamlessly into code and enhance productivity for those working on web projects.Considering that base64 is a widely used format in modern web development, including it in Photoshop would help maintain its position as an essential tool for digital professionals.

When pasting images from the web into Photoshop, it would be incredibly useful if they were automatically inserted as Smart Objects. This would preserve the quality and allow for non-destructive editing right from the start.Adding a setting that lets users choose this as the default behavior would streamline workflows, especially for designers and developers who frequently work with web-sourced images. It would eliminate the need for extra steps and help users maintain flexibility in their edits without losing image quality.This feature would be a valuable time-saver and enhance productivity for many users working with web assets.

I think many iPad users would love a quick way to merge all visible layers into a new top layer function. Thanks

I don't see dust and scratches filter in photoshop for iPad. For those of us using film based photos this would be a great tool addition.Thanks   

Hello all, I'd like to share a frustration/feature request I have with the Photoshop UI. On Windows 11, when moving between Photoshop and, let's say, Illustrator, the pull-down and context menus appear differently. Illustrator has the clean, spacious, rounded look of Windows 11, while Photoshop has the- in my opinion- more crowded and harder-to-read Windows 10 menus. See the photos below. I asked Adobe Support if there was an option to make Photoshop's UI consistent with the look & feel of the other Adobe apps. They said that this difference is by design. But... why? If you use Adobe on a Mac, all of the apps have an identical look & feel. Why not on Windows? Why does Photoshop look like it's running on a different opperating system? I know I'm nit-picking, but when I have these programs open side-by-side, the differences are distracting. And, the menus are harder for me to read in Photoshop. I recognize that Adobe won't force a whole new UI on their users,

It would be great if it was possible to add camera raw masking options, people finder and other advanced options to the normal select subject section.

Hi there. Can we have minimum AND maximum filter in the same window ? I’m not using them enough to assign shortcuts or to memorize if black or white will grow. Half of the time i pick one for the other and have to close and dig again inside the menus... I would love it if they were joined.

You provide the ability to save metadata (tags) to a file but do not provide ability to do so for video, why??? This would be great as i wanted to import my files into a new catalog and bring the tags along with it. 

Hi, Changing the brush size by leaning the pen (i.e. the more inclined the pen, the bigger the brush size) is a common feature in PAINTING software, which Photoshop lacks, and would be very welcomed by the painting crowd. I've used a similar feature on Painter 11, MyPaint 1.0 and Gimp 2.8.6, and I find it really useful, since it allows a faster and less stressful access to a HIGHLY REPETITIVE TASK. Thanks for your attention, Antonio.

This is about the generative fill tool provided in Photoshop beta version currently.I tried to add several famous personalities, for example: hollywood actress, bollywood actors etc but no matter what, the AI just doesnt recognize any single of them and rather adds weird distorted images which looks almost like aliens.The other thing which I would like to mention is that most of the times, if human pictures are added by generative fill, either the face or hands are distorted too much which looks like alien pictures or those are made too much "surface blurred" which doesnt really blend well with the background and surrounding people in the existing photo.This should be good features to have to be corrected.

I know brush rotation can be changed with the left and right arrow keys but it baffles me why bust roundness cannot be adjusted with the up and down arrow keys I really do feel the brush system needs a complete overhaul with other apps much more capable on the ipad these days.

The most common file formats should be first in the list when clicking the curtain in Save as.For now, TIF is not visible so you have to scroll down to see it. Put Tif, jpg and such first in the list

The GPU information in the Document Status is valuable. I however woud not want to turn off my image size display just to see my GPU status. While the info window has options to select multiple options to be displayed at once, I can't afford the screen real estate for another window. The ask is to let the user pick multiple options in the Document Status Bar not just one. Ex: Document Sizes, Document Dimentions, and GPU so the display in the Document Status bar would be viewed as: Doc:9.00/9.33M, 2048 px x 1536 px (72PPI), Metal

19.1, iMac, Sonoma 14.4.1, Photoshop 25.7:    The scrolling font menu is entirely insufficient. Is it possible to enlarge it?

I am not a pro with Adobe products, but all of the perspective correction tools I have seen in Photoshop or Lightroom seem to involve stretching the top part of an image until the sides are straight. What I am interested in is taking a photograph of a building and converting it to what would be the equivalent of an architectural elevation. This would involve straightening the image, but also stretching it vertically. I imagine this would involve calculating the difference between the bottom and top lengths of the skewed image and using that to calculate how foreshortened the image is, which in turn would allow for a calculated and graded stretching of the image. Imagine a brick wall 20 feet wide and 20 feet tall. All brick courses are the same height. But in a photo taken from the ground, the courses at the bottom would be the right height but those higher up would appear shorter, due to the perspective. At the same time the wall would taper inward in the photo as well. There must be a

I would love to have an option in the settings, where I can decide, if I want an image as a layer to be linked, not embeded by default (similar to how in InDesign works). It would reduce the file sizes a lot, and I do work with files, that are just too big (eg. 22gb .psb files), and makeing them linkable is kinda bad right now.

Hi, I want a links panel like in Indesign that shows both embedded and linked images/smartobjects.And also a function to select individual embedded/linked image and convert it back to unembedded (if it was linked) or linked (if it was embedded).

Thanks in advance for hearing me out.  One of my biggest issue in reinstalling my OS is getting the wacom tablet to work in Photoshop correctly. I need "windows ink" but not "pen and touch," I still get the little "alt" and the pop up text box but ok. Ah, right click works but not on the pallets. Why? This is such a broken system that when I think about migrating computers or reinstalling the OS I almost only think about how much it will suck for the week following bc of wacom+windows junk+photoshop.... I wish more than anyting that photoshop could have it's own solution. I mean there was that PSConfig.txt hack from many years ago so there must be a way to do it at the software level? Idellaly, and I think this is the case for most people, the mouse and tablet would more or less be the same but with pen pressure.... Honestly that's all the matters to most stylus artists - the rest is a workflow luxury but pen pressure, cant live without it.  Just a super simple intu

I've been using PS for nearly 20 years and have always been frustrated by the actions panel. I use button view and have quite a collection of actions to help process images, perhaps too many. It's VERY time consuming to scroll through them all trying to locate the one I want to use. I know them by name, but locating them is difficult as the are not loaded alphabetically. For years, I've been trying to figure out where the search bar is to simply type in the action name to locate and implement a specific action I want to use. I've never found this and it seems quite obvious, rudimentary and necessary for efficiency when processing photos. Why can't I find this?? Please tell me there IS a search bar option to alleviate the time suck that searching row by row for a name in a sea of hundreds can be?!!!  It's baffling that a beast of a program like PS would not have a simple tool like this. Also, is it possible to create multiple tabs in the action panel where I could sort the act

When creating multiple variation for Image to text it would be helpful to mark favorites in a way they immediately stand out from all generations. For instance with a heart or star icon that is widely used.   The mockup shows both states outlined and filled. Obviously there should only be one icon in the corner.  

When I am editing a lot of photos and I need to crop an image, I usually use the non crop tool.  When I'm done, depending on the size of the document, I have to use the slide bars to move the image back into center view.  Seems to me there should be a "return image to center after cropping".  Adobe help line suggests I use the crop tool which will keep the image centered but then that creates another issue.  If I want to just save that newly cropped document back to a .jpg, I have to flatten the image which creates another step or thing to do.  Then Adobe suggested to use the crop tool to keep the image centered and then just save it as a copy.  Well then that created yet another issue, you now have 2 documents, the original and now a copy.  I don't need or desire another copy, I'm just lookig to keep my cropped doument centered on my screen without needing to add any more mouse clicks, or copies, etc.  If it can't be done then I'm Ok with that b
