Feature Requests

Currently, cutting out objects along with their shadows in Photoshop requires considerable effort using various techniques. There should be a “Shadow Selection” feature that allows precise object cutouts, including their shadows, which would look good in a PNG layer. Additionally, an “AI Shadow Generator” should exist in both regular and PNG formats to create realistic shadows for objects. At present, I need to use layer masking, which is cumbersome because it cannot be easily exported, or I have to install external plugins to generate real, accurate shadows. This process is particularly frustrating when working with packshot photography.

It is not important for Photoshop to focus solely on creating AI image generation features; rather, it would be wiser to develop AI tools that help existing users with image retouching. Is Adobe aware of a program called EVOTO? It is a software that utilizes AI to retouch photos. This program is already being used by commercial photographers and demonstrates the ability to provide high-quality retouching with simple steps through AI. Every photographer who uses Photoshop would know this. We don't need generative AI that creates non-existent images, changes a person’s clothes, or alters backgrounds. What we need far more are features that assist with basic retouching tasks. For instance, AI could help streamline processes like skin detail refinement, blemish removal, hair correction, skin tone adjustment, facial line shaping, body contouring, wrinkle reduction, and so on. With today’s AI, these are entirely feasible tasks that could greatly assist our work, but it seems Adobe

When kerning type the keyboard shortcut adjusts spacing by +/-20 units. It doesn't specify what units but I'm guessing it's points? The other fields are in points, but the kerning and leading fields don't specify. Doesn't really matter.What I'd like to do is be able to adjust that amount, change the increment to say 5 units for finer control. I'm starting to design more and more on photoshop. I would love to be able to set type quickly, instead of entering values manually. It would be very useful to be able to set the kerning, tracking, and leading increments like those apps allow us to.

Also  a setting in Lightroom CC 'last PHP to default' (Not Beta).So whenever you want to enhance in PHP it always goes to the last PHPAnd whenever you want to use a particular tool you can directly go to PHP Beta(as plug-in)

Can adobe add .webp to the Generate Image Asset set of options in photoshop.

Support for Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator files in the Frame.io ecosystem was announced at MAX 2024. It would be easier to take advantage of this new feature if there was an option in the Share for Review dialogue box to share to Frame.io instead of creating a generic share for review link.Adding Frame.io as a review tool for all creative workflows is a great idea that I would like to take advantage of with my team and stakeholders, but as it stands the process of getting a .psd, .indd, .ai file into frame.io by saving the file, then opening a browser, logging into frame, creating a new project, uploading, and then sharing is going to take too much time compared to the current Share for Review feature. There is a comparison workflow video comparing the two side by side, attached.

I submitted this feature request about 20 years ago, so it seems like a good time to try again.Can we get preview for the Stroke and Fill commands? And with Stroke, how about a warning message if the Outside or Center option is selected and the stroke (or part thereof) will fall outside the current canvas?If we want to go whole-hog on Stroke, what about making it a Shape tool/.command? Perhaps with the option of what corners to use with Outside and Center when creating polygon strokes?

Me and some of my clients are still using old Mac Pros, upgraded to the max with fast M.2 SSD‘s, 32GB of RAM, 3,33GHz Intel Xeon CPU’s and graphic cards with up to 8GB. They still run fast and reliable under Ventura 13.7.0 via Open Core. For Windows PC‘s this is more then what is required, why not for Mac‘s?  ----Einige meiner Kunden und ich selber auch benutzen immer noch alte Mac Pros, aufgerüstet mit schnellen M.2 SSDs, 32GB RAM, 3,33GHz Intel Xeon CPUs und Grafikkarten mit bis zu 8GB.

Für Windows-PCs ist das mehr als das, was auf Ihrer Webseite als erforderlich angegeben ist, warum gilt das nicht auch für Macs?   

Hi,I think it would be wonderful if WebP could also be used in Export/Save for Web. Instead of JPG, we now use WebP in our merchandise management as well as in our online stores. The export route would be much easier than always having to use "Save Copy as...". Would this be a good functionality for others? Greetings,Micha

I'm an illustrator, and I'm aware of a surprising limitation in Photoshop.My wish is that the colour of my brush (brush tool) changes (dynamically) with (at least) 3 or 5 colours WITH THE PRESSURE OF THE STYLUS on the tablet (WACOM for example). One possibility (it seems to me) would be to use ‘Colour Dynamics’ in the ‘Brush Settings’. I could (for example) vary the colour of my brush with the PRESSURE OF MY STYLUS (on a Wacom tablet, for example). However, alas 3x alas, this colour dynamic is linked to the 1st and 2nd plan colours. In other words, ONLY TWO COLOURS!On a computer costing several thousand dollars, in 2024, I can't have more than 2 (TWO!) dynamic colours on my brush!Please, Adobe. Change that!Like textures (in the brush settings -> textures are integrated into the settings), would it be possible to define available colours (2, 5 or 10, more?) in the colour dynamics (linked to stylus pressure), in the brush settings ?That would be GREAT! Please, Adobe, can you

Hi, a lot of times i save masks and paths as a layer mask in the group of the object. So you can easy drop the folder into a compo and move your masks and paths along with it. And if you transform the folder the masks get scaled along. Also usefull to keep a sharp backup of your mask when the mask you use has a feather.It would be helpfull if a layer with no pixels (in the left icon) would have a different icon so you can easy identify it as a 'mask' layer with no visible pixels in the 'layer miniature' so to say.

Hello,Comme j'aime bien les scripts, enfin, les actions, j'en ai pas mal... Ce serait génial d'avoir un outil de recherche pour faire apparaitre, ou mettre en surbrillance, les actions trouvées.Déjà un outil de recherche par nom me semble le plus simple..je crois qu'after effect en a un efficace pour les effets, si je me souviens bien.. Je croise les doigts, Merci   

As a timelapse and landscape photographer, I need this feature so much!Birds suddendly appear in different parts of the frame & look like rubbish in the final video. I know some tricks in AE/Pr how to remove them fast with the Lighten blend mode by duplicating the same footage and moving it 1 frame forward, but it doesn't always work perfectly. It often gives artifacts. Being a perfectionist, I do it manually frame by frame in PS with the Spot Healing brush.Can you imagine how time consuming it is? 300-500+ images to clean... At sunrise the birds wake up and are very active. Almost the same thing with the sunsets. That's why I need the feature like birds removal. I'm sure it would be useful for many landscape photographers.  P.S. I can even provide a few timelapse series (hundreds of shots) to train your algorithms.  

Hey, I've been using Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, AfterEffects since their 1.0 versions, and there is something all of them always have been doing: when we change a text block aligment (left, right, or centered), the block 'jumps' to half-x-axis of whatever new setting we choose. I understand that must have been some limitation of legacy systems behavior (processing power, amount of resources, "it has always been like this"), but Figma and Sketch have showed us that such edit can be differently programmed. So, please: keep the text block in place when we change the text alignment - in PS, Illustrator, InDesign and AfterEffects.

Adobe Photoshop 1. Complex Task Simplification: Basic tasks like cropping an object require unnecessarily long steps. For example, to crop an object, I have to use the selection tool, press Ctrl+J, then delete the original layer. This process could be streamlined.2. Background Removal: The “Remove Background” feature works well with people but struggles with objects. Online tools like BGremover perform better. It would be great if Adobe’s tool could match this accuracy.3. Magic Fill: While Magic Fill works better in Firefly, in Photoshop, it’s quite poor and needs significant improvement.4. Dragging and Dropping Objects: Resizing objects to fit the frame when dragging and dropping is cumbersome. Using Shift+Drag is not intuitive. There should be a “Fit to Frame” or “Fill Frame” option with a single click.5. Drawing Tool: A freehand pen tool similar to the one in MS Paint would be a useful addition, allowing more intuitive drawing options.6. Prompt to Save Location: Photoshop shoul

I find the plethora of shortcut prefixes (combinations of Shift, Control, Opt and Cmd) too confusing to figure out. Because I don't want my chosen prefix to conflict with one chosen by Adobe, I wanted to pick one and be reasonably sure it would not get purturbed in an update. Based on searching through the unpurturbed defaults on my new install, I think "Control-Opt" is not in use. It'd be nice to know that Adobe promises to leave that prefix alone.

With almost all my files when i save up a version and go to the save as window, i'll have to select a point in the filname and scroll right to alter the version number, even though there is enough space for the save as filename window to be much longer.That way I can see the whole filename at once and directly select the number at the end.

이미 있는 기능 중 지우개 브러쉬와 그리기 브러쉬를 따로 설정하는 것도 좋습니다. 하지만 지우개를 따로 선택하지 않고 투명한 부분을 스포이드로 찍을 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다.

It would be great to be able to invert pressure input from wacom tablets for brush parameters. The most basic implementation would be an "invert" checkbox next to each parameter. A more powerful idea would be to have customizable pressure input curves for each parameter. This could be done with the "contour editor" used to control various layer style falloff options. In particular, I found that the pressure input for the Mixer brush's "mix" slider was the reverse of what I thought it should be, but the ability to customize the input curves for all parameters would create many new ways to use the brush tool. These curves could also be used to control exactly how much force on the pen is needed, allowing artists to work at a comfortable level of pressure and still enjoy the full range of input. This would greatly enhance the entire painting experience! Thanks!

It would be nice when creating guides you could create both horizontal and vertical guides all at once. It is very tedious to have to create every single guide needed for a graphic project. 

Hi There, Yes, the workaround is to modify the .jsx script but that's a workaround SO PLEASE DON'T POST THAT AND MARK AS THE SOLITION! Instead, can we just have a 'Use Layer Names' checkbox to disable the file name prefix option? I'm sure we can all agree this would be the better, more intuitive, built-in solution - right? Cheers, Ben 

Adobe please restore previous PS functionality! In previous versions of PS, users pull out a guide and it remains the color spec'd in preferences. Now, in 2024 PS, when the guides are adjusted, they turn blue. There's no way to disable this, or turn it another color. Blue is hard to see and this is very annoying. Adobe, please return this function to the way it was, or allow users to either disable it or adjust the color. PLEASE!I need your help fellow Photoshoppers, I'd love to see a lot of upvotes for this! Thank you!

We should have the ability to create custom frames to make pictures fit in other shapes (e.g., a polygon). I proposed that this idea be integrated into the lasso tools, marquee tools, shapes tools, and even the pen tool via a button that will convert the shape or section into a usable picture frame. This feature should also be available under the frame tool section for added convenience. The frame tool seems lacking, and there should have more functionality. Adding this feature will expand the use of the frame tool functionality for newer releases of Photoshop. I hope this idea will be useful to fellow Photoshop users as well. Let me know what you think about this idea. Thank you!

Hi, I'm a photographer who's unhappy with Adobe. It's bad enought that we're forced to use a subscription based software that seemingly has issues with every update that causes a loss of time in figuring out how to do the same thing I did before. Now Adobe is advertising "skip the photoshoot", and that AI is the "new digital camera". Have we reached a point where not even Adobe values photographers? I thought it would be budget minded clients that pushed me out of this industry, but increasingly, it seems to be tone deaf Adobe. Is anyone else tired of Adobe's hamster wheel?  https://petapixel.com/2024/05/03/adobe-throws-photographers-under-the-bus-again-skip-the-photoshoot/
