Feature Requests

I build wall mural "blanks" that serve as templates to be filled with artwork. Guides are an integral part of these templates. We use them show live area vs bleed, along with things like wall corners and ceiling contours. It's maddening that I can't lock guides and save that behavior before handing over a template. I've heard "it's an application function" as a reason for the inability to save. All right, but then let me choose my default guide behavior in Settings. If I could set "locked" as our default Photoshop guide behavior, we'd eliminate the risk of guides getting screwed up accidentally. An errant guide isn't such a big deal in the template itself, but our working mural files can run upward of 80GB, so fixing an accidental guide move can be a hugely heavy lift, and in some cases isn't even possible on any but our hardcore production workstation.  I've been able to save locked guides in Illustrator and InDesign since forever. I can't believe I can't in Photos

The symmetry tool has been one of my most regularly used tools since its introduction since as a concept artist I'm often designing symmetrical things. However, when I work I tend to have multiple drawings spread out on my canvas, and I'll bounce between them as I work, which means having to recreate the axis of symmetry whenever I do this.I know I could just center everything on the same axis, but that would mean having to constantly hide/unhide whatever I'm not working on, and I'd also miss out on being able to view all the work at once. So I'd love the ability to assign a unique axis of symmetry to an individual layer (or group!) that functions identically to the current tool, and then be able to (with a keyboard shortcut) toggle between the global symmetry I've defined and the layer-specific ones. And ideally, I'd be able to redraw any axis without affecting other existing ones, whether global or layer-specific. 

No sé cuántos años de lucidez me quedan. Pero quiero disfrutar de mi hobby todo ese futuro.  Las innovaciones son constantes desde que nací, pero asistimos a una progresión geométrica en ellas. La obsoloscencia, en todo, está acelerándose, incluídos los soportes de productos, manuales, etc. Manuales: Está extendida la práctica del manual de producto. También que este, en las páginas finales incluya un índice que abarque dos cuestiones: índice temático e índice problemas (no de errores de funcionamiento, si no de dificultades en el uso del producto) .   Sugerencia: Elaboración de un índice temático/ conceptual) y de problemas de uso  Cada vez utilizo más las aplicaciones de IA: como medio para tener respuestas a mi curiosidad y para uso de PS, básicamente: los problemas que tengo con las notas técnicas de Adobe suelen derivarse de los conceptos que llenan las páginas. Si no se conocen los conceptos, el lenguaje es técnico subyacentemente, en algún momento s

Make an Autofill masked area feature for Freeze Mask in Liquify (as you've done recently for Remove tool). It should be optional, I believe. Will help to save time.   We draw a loop around an area we want to mask (freeze) and it is filled automatically.  

Photoshop has given very good updates in the last few years which is very commendable... There is a great need to add one more option in Photoshop, 3D Color Space Tool which we can use... Such tools make the work and the software easier. 3D Color Tool is already provided in many software like 3D Luts Creator, DaVinci Resolve's Color Warper tool, all these make the software very easy for color correction... Please add such a tool in Photoshop as well.. 

The Generate Normal Map tool was recently removed, but I got a lot of use out of it and would like it back. I understand you removed it along with the 3D functionality, but it seems like the image-to-normal tool could have remained on its own. I didn't find much use for the rest of the 3D tools, but the loss of this normal map tool put a big hole in my production pipeline.  I've heard that Adobe suggests people use Substance for this kind of thing , and while I'd love to do more with Substance, that's an expensive upgrade I'm not prepared to make for this one feature.  Thank you!

I love the new Core Tools Workspace. It's perfect for teaching beginners. I have a couple of things that I would like see improved. 1. I think the crop tool should go below all of the selection tools. The selection tools have always been the top tools and the crop tool is in the way between the lasso and object selection tool. 2. The ... for accessing the rest of the tools is weird. If I click on it I get a random tool that pops up - I should get access to all the tools. If I right click I get all of the tools and have to select eidt tool bar at the top. The funcionality needs a little work. 

In a similar way Affinity supports OCIO it would be great if Adobe atleast kept up. The plugin someone has made does not work properly and is far from ideal, it requires LUTs to be made for each possible combination, its not fluid at all and the result is often incorrect.   Full 32bit support is pretty vital in general for everything in PS   Photoshop is the industry leader and has been for years but if you don't keep up with the times you will loose your user base.

I'm a photographer specializing in portraits and men's physique, and I frequently have clients requesting enhanced definition for their abs, or even for me to add abs entirely. This process can be tedious, and generative AI could significantly streamline it. However, the moderation filters are incredibly sensitive! As a professional, I often retouch nude images, and I find it frustrating that Adobe's restrictive policies prevent me from using the tools I pay for. It feels overly conservative and short-sighted.What’s more, many of the images I retouch aren't even nudes, but generative fill tools still flag them for "community violations," which is ridiculous, given that the work I do on my personal computer is private and unrelated to any community guidelines.Just a thought.I’ve since switched to using Stable Diffusion for inpainting, and it does an AMAZING job, far surpassing Adobe—and it’s free. Adobe really needs to step up its game.

I have several projects that needs to be reskinned (same distribution of assets but different artwork). I normally duplicate an initial project to work on it and change the arwork, but sometimes, duplicated files are linked to the inistial project instead of the duplicated one. (Photoshop takes this linking as correct and doesnt show me a warning, so I need to check all linked layers individually. I would like to know if there is a list of all linked smart objects with its path (just like the initial window that usually warns you when a linked smart object is missing.), but this time I need to see a window like the one I attach but with all linked smart objects. Any help? thank you!

This would make life 1 million times easier. 

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick and easy trick I’ve been using in Photoshop to remove backgrounds from images, especially when you want to keep fine details like hair or fur. Open the image in Photoshop.Go to Select > Select and Mask.Use the Quick Selection Tool to roughly select the object you want to keep.In the "Select and Mask" workspace, adjust the Edge Detection and use the Refine Edge Brush to clean up tricky areas (like hair).Once you’re happy with the selection, choose Output to: Layer Mask and hit OK. This method works great when you need to remove complex backgrounds but don’t want to lose important details. I hope this helps someone out!Feel free to share any other tips or tricks you use for background removal!

Previously, photoshop-beta had a function of choosing generation effects and both types of generation: generation of a picture from scratch and generation of specific areas. Currently, this feature is only available for full composition generation, which makes it difficult to create artwork using AI while maintaining a unified style.I would be happy if this function. also returned for generating selected sections of the composition, because then the amount of time spent on embedding elements into an already existing composition is significantly reduced. The process itself will become easier, more efficient and more pleasant. In addition, it directly affects the quality of generation and the relevance of the request.For example: AI does not understand what "plasticine" is when I need plasticine parts, even with the addition of a photo reference, it is difficult and stressful. But thanks to the inclusion of the "plasticine" + reference effect, AI would cope with this task much more easil

Hi. I wanted to ask about the generative fill function in photoshop. If I make changes to a photo using generative fill, will I be able to see this new photo in different perspectives after the changes e.g. from the side, from above, from the back?   Can we add such a function?   thank you Ewelina

I typically alternate between 4x6 and 4x5 cropping. It would be great if we could set up a custom shortcut key for switching between the two. This would greatley speed up my workflow as I am editing hundreds of images on a daily basis!

I realize the app is a work in progress. I hope an Alignment feature is in the works. I would think of it as a basic requirement for many.

I use pretty much the same basic tools in all my images. I would LOVE to be able to save personalized favourites in a top bar or something, for example different "dodge brush sizes" and just click on those directly the next time, instead of clicking through the menu, size, opacity and so on. This would save so much time! (unless there is one and I have missed it?)

It would be great if the Magic Wand's right-click could have access to "content-aware fill" and "Generative Fill".I have no issues switching to the Marquee (M) or Laso Tool (L). But again like I said, it would be nice for a friend. If it is too complicated throw my idea in the trash.

I really can't believe there's not an easier way to add brushes to favorites folders.  Some suggestions: 1. A heart or star icon next to the brush that you can check, maybe there's a dropdown to select which favorites folder you want to add it to.  2. Right click, duplicate, drag brush to favorites folder. You get the idea and I know you're capable of an easy update. 

Já existe a opção de excluir todas as camadas ocultas, poderia existir a opção de excluir de uma vez todas as pastas vazias.

when i impirt some shapes  in photoshop photoshop say you could not import more shapes . why and how i can fix this pleas i neeed this hope

Hi all, I'm adding abstract backgrounds to isolated objects and sometimes I'm so happy with the result that I would like to apply the same background to another object. If I simply copy/paste the prompt, I never get the same results.When I play with MidJourney (or similar), there is something called a "seed" that allows to stay very close to the original picture. Is there something similar with the generative fill?   Thanks

Someone post a picture file with extension .Jfif and my problems isthat I can't open the file, the only way for open the file is rename the suffix in .Jpg

When you want to add text on an image with generative fill, it only adds text in English. For example, when I want the expression Çalıkuşu to be added in Turkish, it is written as "blusha" in English.

I do wildlife as well as some portrait work and have enjoyed the AI background functions.  One area that would help me a lot in combining shots with background would be the setting of the color and angle of the light source.  Descriptions to include source being from in front of the camera or behind the camera as well as angles for that source and then some control over the color of the light ie sunlight, incandescant, flourescent, spot or diffuse light.I am more of a science, math type and not too artsy and I have found the AI to be extremely helpful in adding to the look and feel of my output
