This idea is for Photoshop on the Desktop.It would be great if there was a right-click context menu option to toggle individual Layer Thumbnails on/off. When documents contain many layers, it could be useful to hide certain layer thumbnails that are not important while leaving other, important thumbnails visible. For multiple layers, grouping them into a folder would work. However, if the stacking order doesn't permit that or logic precludes doing so, we're left with putting one layer into a folder to collapse it's thumbnail. This seems counterintuitive.    Thanks for your time and consideration.  

As a Real Estate Photographer I am always removing shadows that are along a straight edge. When using the Remove Tool I will hold the shift key to get a straight line. When I complete the loop, auto fill does not work because I have picked up the brush. I would like to have a button on the control panel to fill the inside of a closed selection that has been created, with the Remove Tool, without a continuous loop. Thank you for your help.

When using the move tool, you can switch between the group or layer selection when the move tool selection is made again or the shortcut key (V) is pressed again.

Hello,When working with brush tool. There is a blend mode name "Clear" (erased). Why doesn't this clear blend mode is not avaible for layer ? It could be very useful for creating very advanced layer masks. Please add the CLEAR blend mode for layers !!!

Why doesn't Photoshop have color styles? A style controls multiple objects.I don't know why the color palette is not modifiable in the software?I would like to use one color style to control the color of multiple objects and be able to change my color at any time.Like the swatch feature in InDesing and Illustrator?The swatches in PS only seem to be able to add, not modify color values? Also, the existing styles feature is only add-on, you can't modify existing styles. Very curious to ask, what is the PS development team thinking?

There seems to be three ways to use generative fill. But all are missing key elements. Is there a way to use generative workspace but control the pixel size of the final image? Or a way to use a composition reference image on the other generative fill options? It’s also weird you can’t see all the art styles together (via the "all" category) in generative workspace like you can in the other sections. But I can get around that. It just basically creates a treasure hunt aspect for no reason.  Thank you. 

Adobe's technical writers are excellent, but I often have trouble finding the topic I want because the table of contents at the left of the User Guide offers only one level of indent. In order to find a sub topic, I must scroll through the entire text. That text is always clearly divided into subtopics, so it would be easy for Adobe to put them into a sub-indented list. Then I could identify and jump to the subtopic instantly.As it is, the Guide feels like a giant sea of info, with no easy way of bouncing around in it, so I usually resort to a general web search for every single simple thing I need to know. As an example for how inefficient this is, try finding how to use the video group's "pan & zoom" feature. All the search hits, even within Adobe Support, are for other apps, not Photoshop. Yes, there are YouTube results for this, and I watched one, but it took quite a bit of time to find out that "pan & zoom" is a simplified version of a keyframed transform. With a list of s

After My latest update to "Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.0.0 20240927.r.26 a733fda x64", The default Fill options for the crop tool switch to Transparent, even though I understand that this might be convenient for many users, it made my life miserable.I believe it should be up to the user to select their default fill option, I edit 10 to 20 Photos at least on a daily basis, and 80 percent of the time they need generative expand.Not only do I have to select generative expand each time I start a new session, but now everytime I need to use the crop tool (during the same session) I have to reselect the option. Please make it an option in the preferences to choose the default fill option. 

One-click removal tool for bugs such as gnats. This is an issue in warmer climates for people photography. 

日本のテレビ番組はPhotoshopでテロップを作ることがあります。 キーボードショートカットの opt + [ , ] を使うと、クリックせずにレイヤーの選択を移動することができ、大量のテロップを作ることに役に立ちますが、 テキストレイヤーからグループレイヤーに移動したときにPSD内にある、全てのグループレイヤーの中身が非表示になってしまいます。（レイヤーの選択をopt+ [ , ] で移動するときに、グループレイヤーに移動すると非表示になる） グループレイヤーの中には、わざと表示／非表示にしているものもあり、それがわからなくなるのは大変です。 （気づかずに作業していたら、もう後戻りできない…なんてことも）  現状、一つ上のレイヤーに移動するためには全てのレイヤーが非表示になっていることが条件なのも使いづらいです。（表示しているレイヤーのみの移動で使うことができる、これはこれで役に立ちます） なので単純に、”一つ上のレイヤーを選択”、 ”一つ下のレイヤーを選択”のショートカットを組み込んで欲しいです。 ついでに。”すべてのレイヤーを選択”　もあるとちょっと便利かも…

And I am a user of Adobe Photoshop. I want to express my gratitude for your product, which helps me solve many image editing tasks.However, while working with a large number of images, I encountered the need to use the Healing Brush tool in batch mode. Unfortunately, the current capabilities of the program do not allow automating this process, which significantly increases the time required for image processing.Therefore, I would like to propose considering the addition of an automatic batch processing feature with the Healing Brush tool. This would greatly speed up the workflow and increase the efficiency of working with a large number of images requiring fine retouching.This improvement would be beneficial to many users working in the professional retouching field and could make Adobe Photoshop an even more powerful and convenient image editing tool.I hope my suggestion will be considered. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your comments.

I would love to be able to offset a path in Photoshop, essentially like contracting a selection by 1px, but doing so with a vector path. This would save me so much time, as I have to do this for numerous images. Offsetting the selection and making a path from the selection is not precise enough. Currently, I have to manually select groups of anchor points and nudge them over.  This feature exists in Illustrator and works well. How likely is it that it could be implemented in Photoshop? I may have overlooked the ability to do this in Photoshop. If so can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help!

Scenario is a canvas with 3 different artboards on it.  Each artboard is a separate email consisting of 2 sections (each of which would have to be sliced).  It would be great to have the ability to slice specific artboards independent of one another. The current model applies a slice (#1)  that seems to border the artwork bounds of the entire document.  So currently all 3 boards are enveloped including any outlying artwork bounds.  I suppose my idea is two-fold and address 2 issues I have with artboards.  I'd like to select an artboard and have the Save For Web functionality only applied to the selected board and I'd like to apply my slices on the specific artboard without having it slice everything on the canvas in relation to that original slice.  I imagine a solution would almost be like a master slice that can have secondary slices within it. I hope I was able to explain myself clearly enough.

I love the embroidery filter, this is gonna be so useful!I have an idea, we need a enamel pin and patch filter, this type of art manipulation takes so long and this could really save me hours of work a week, I'm an Art Director at a creative apparel company.Thank you!

Hi,I've been a photoshop user for a number of years. I am not some amazing advanced user - buy I pay my money for the product and expect improvement over time. Uhhh it's not really becoming easier or BETTER for people like me. FIRST: My short term need is put some type in a ps document, and make it look like it is embroidered. I wasted money on something from Envato Elements, that couldn't even be installed. I looked on YouTube most of the videos about PS embroidery are people trying to sell you their "actions" or "templates" or something.                     ANY THOUGHTS        (I am on the latest version as of 11/09/2024) For those of us who aren't professional - we want a tool that ALSO offers more simplistic solutions. Example given - Alien Skin Eye Candy (or whatever it was called).  Photoshop still LACKS simplistic ways to put water

Hi there. First post here.I am a 2D animator, more specifically a traditional hand-drawn, frame by frame animator. (Just like a traditional Disney animator, but I use Photoshop)Here's my showreel: (link removed)My website: (link removed)I would like, if at all possible to help the design team to create a better, more professional timeline, for traditional animators.I love the fact that I can animate in PS but as it stands, the timeline and other animation tools, are quite sketchy and clunky in some regards, but still awesome in other regards. The list of things to improve is rather long, but not incredibly complex. It is mainly an issue of interface design, but also improving or adding just a few crucial tools. This could turn PS into an unbeatable animation app.I know Adobe Animate exists, but it doesn't offer "bitmap" animation, and doesn't have all the great painting tools of Photoshop.The sad thing is that other industry standard, traditional animation tools aren't that great

I've always found it odd that you can't simply update your current custom workspace, surely this would be a simple feature to implement by adding a new item at the bottom of the workspace dropdown menu? 

Dear Adobe engineering team,First of all, let me express my deep respect for your excellent work, Adobe products have always been indispensable creative tools for photographers. As a photographer who focuses on the starry sky, I often chase those distant and bright points of light in the cold wind at night, recording the mystery and beauty of the universe. However, in the post-processing of these precious starry pictures, I encountered a challenge: how to efficiently achieve star alignment and clear presentation of comet tracks.1. Background and needsStarry photography often requires multiple shots with different exposures taken in the same location to capture rich details ranging from faint deep sky objects to bright nebulae and galaxies. However, the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to appear slightly shifted in the image, affecting the quality of the final composite. In addition, for moving objects such as comets, it is often difficult for traditional alignment methods to accu

Looking forward to magic composite, magic blend with shadows. Really love that, and if there was a way to adjust the shadows, color, composite when it pulls in that would be next level.  E

Hello again, Adobe Team and Creative Community,I wanted to revisit a topic that I feel is critical to our work and rights as creators using Adobe Photoshop—specifically, the issue of censorship within the generative fill feature. My previous post aimed to ignite a conversation around this, and today, I'm here to emphasize a crucial point: the responsibility and liability of content creation rest entirely with the artist, not with the tools they use.Historically, the tools provided by Adobe have been just that—tools. These are means by which we bring our creative visions to life, whether they're simple sketches or complex digital artworks. The principle has always been clear: what we create and how we use these tools are our responsibility. This is no different with the advent of generative AI technologies. If a creation is deemed inappropriate, the onus is on the creator, not the tool used to make it.By restricting the capabilities of generative fill, Adobe shifts from being a provider

Make it an installable PWA

Is there a way to use entire color preset palettes for Photoshop on iPad? There's the picker and the two swatches, but what about when I need to work with the same colors over and over again -- any way to save and pick from a color library? 

It would be highly beneficial to have an option for merged layers to automatically adopt the name of the bottom layer instead of the top layer. This small adjustment would save users valuable time by reducing repetitive renaming steps in workflows with complex layer arrangements. The bottom layer is often the most critical in defining the merged output, especially with adjustment layers or AI-generated layers. Retaining its name for the merged layer would add clarity and efficiency to layer management in complex documents.   Thank you for considering this feature!   Best regards

I have an idea of a fantastic new license you can offer to people, that use adobe products only rarely. You could charge 1 euro per day for usage of any Adobe apps. For people that use Photoshop few times a year is crazy to pay such a high money for products that they almost never use. Most such amateurs and casual users will install cracked software and they can have viruses because of it. That's bad for them. But you won't earn nothing when users install cracked Adobe apps, so that's bad for you too... So this casual license could have sooo much benefit for causal users and also for you.I don't want to pay such a crazy amounts for Photoshop, I don't want to install cracked software, it's illegal and it have viruses. Which means I don't have Photoshop install on my PC, I am sad... I once bought it for a month, but I then canceled, since I wasn't using it almost never, and it would be crazy to continue subscription .. But I want to have Photoshop, since I want to use it few times a yea

In the script option for Image processor to export bulk images together, there is no option provided to export it as PNG. This is a major lack for this feature. Please update for the same
