Your background removal tool has seen significant improvements over the past month. However, why is the quality of the path generated by the „Arbeitspfad aus Auswahl erstellen“ in German Photoshop <<Make Work Path from Selection>> function so poor?In my daily workflow, creating clipping paths for stock agencies and product libraries remains extremely time-consuming. Even in 2026, such clipping paths are still required. Yet, the current automatic path generation produces flawed angles and far too many anchor points. The resulting clipping path is useless and is rejected by database systems!Please help me speed up the manual creation of clipping paths in Photoshop 2026 by modernizing the "Make Work Path from Selection" function and fully leveraging the background removal engine. It is crucial that the process doesn't place thousands of points—using perhaps only 10–15% would suffice—while still delivering a satisfactory result. Humans are capable of this; it would be great if

Every so often I run into a situation where I've created a full bleed design but when I go to set it up to print I realize that I forgot to include the bleed area past the trim line. Where this is especially annoying is when it is a photograph or piece of art that I don't really want to enlarge to account for the bleed.A work around is copying and then reflecting the image on each edge and butting it up against the trim line. Also, you can generative fill the bleed area. Both of those tactics work, but they are annoying.It would be awesome if there was a simple button to press where you said "create bleed" and you could set the size of the bleed you wanted and AI would just generate the bleed for you without any fuss. This would have to be in Photoshop.Maybe this is just a me problem, lol, but we have the technology!!

Add the ability for us to pan around the canvas using the middle mouse button. It's more time saving to use it compared to going for the spacebar since your hand is already on the mouse. We have been asking for this feature for over 10 years. We shouldn't have to look for third party software or buy gaming mice with programable buttons to jerry rig something close enough at this point. Some people can't use normal/gaming mice anyways due to injury or disability so we're locked out of those options. Last I checked you have this canvas panning feature in After Effects. Why introduce super useful features, but keep them exclusive to only one of your apps? I've noticeed this so many times on different Adobe programs it's honestly annoying..

  Is there a way to disable this. I know it is a Windows feature for navigating without a mouse but who really uses PS without a mouse.  If I start to do a key command and press alt then realize I want to do something else I have to hit Escape. If I don't hit escape menus start to drop down when I try to use my tools. I can not stand this navigation feature and it has been bugging me for years. If I remember correctly the Mac version of photoshop does not have this.

Comme des milliers d’utilisateurs je suis tout simplement écœurée du choix de suppression de FIREFLY 3 qui fonctionnait parfaitement bien !!!!!! Pourquoi le supprimer mais nous laisser la vieille version 1 ?????Pourquoi ne pas nous laisser le choix de la version ??? La version 5 est complètement obsolète pour les photographes professionnels comme moi qui retouchent des modèles, peau, cheveux etc voir exemple plus que ridicule dans les photos ci dessous. De plus Adobe Firefly 3 générait automatiquement l’IA sans avoir besoin de perdre son temps avec des Scripts, ET il nous proposait 3 versions non pas seulement une comme Firefly 5. Les générations font des gros pâtés tout flou qui ne se fondent pas dans les photos d’origines.De plus en plus déçue par Adobe !!! 

It would be helpful to have a trail of creation prompts and/or prompt changes that are automatically saved to the final image’s metadata. This would help in following the path that led to the final image creation and the image origin.

How the heck does Photoshop online not have any Polygon Lasso tool. It’s like this app is being developed by people who don’t actually use Photoshop. 

Every new update we seem to get old bugs back. Hue Sat adjustment layers not working, preferences failing, select and mask memory leaks, GPU accelerations issues, zoom and pan locking up issues, fonts not loading, shape and pens sticking, ect…. This is just a few of issues we get all the time and every update is a gamble, Adobe has a track record of not fixing their software and plowing in features no one wants like shoving trash into an overflowing can. So yeah feature request to fix your software. 

Potential enhancements could include the ability to snap windows or panels horizontally, allowing elements such as the toolbar to be viewed in this orientation. Expanding customisation options for windows and panels would further benefit users by enabling them to tailor their workspace to their specific needs and preferences. Also, offering the option to set panels to display in highly detailed, standard, or minimalistic modes would increase flexibility and significantly enhance the overall user experience.Examples provided for visual context.

Please change keyboard shortcut for changing brush size using drag to ‘Ctrl+Alt+Drag’ in Window ver photoshop. Current shortcut key is not appropriate or easy to use for Windows users. Do all Adobe team use Mac OS only? To think that it was ok to set short cut for brush size like this, that must be so.  I use bracket shortcuts because I have no choice but each time I have to reach out to press bracket keys, my workflow gets interrupted. It’s very inconvenient and frustrating as my work speed is slow. Since I am already using other keys as shortcuts for other needed tools, I cannot assign changing brush size to any other keys.  For me to be able to use ‘Ctrl+Alt+drag’ to change brush size will be a huge improvement to my efficiency and usability of photoshop. I strongly request for an update here. Other tools such as Clip Studio, Paint Tool Sai, Medibang Paint etc. are all using ‘Ctrl+Alt+drag’ as brush size change shortcut. I do not understand why Adobe won’t f

I was in a situation where I needed to disable all of the zoom with mouse wheel preferences today, and then had to go back in to re-enable after I was done.  We can already save several custom states with custom workspaces, and I use shortcuts to switch between and reset my workspaces.  It would be lovely if we could do the same thing with Preferences.  It’s not a biggie because it’s probably not something a lot of people do every day, but if it was not too hard, I think we’d welcome it. 

Hi, Whenever I'm working on a file, 99% of the time I use the Save for Web shortcut [CMD+Option+Shift+S] to export my files. Right now I'm working on preparing some images for a website and I need to export them in the WebP format.  I know that I can export to WebP through the "Save as..." window, but that doesn't let me adjust the scale/dimension and see the output file size, which is a bit annoying because I need to have that control to make sure the file is the right size.  Is there a way to add a WebP preset to the list of presets in the "Save for Web" window?  Thanks!

Anyone else find the new curves adjustment line and points to be overly thick and huge? Not sure why as the previous width and size of the line and curve points were just fine and easier to make small adjustments.Here's a screen capture of them now in PS 27.1.0.

Make the hand tool available in every panel: Currently, the hand tool is only available in the canvas window. Allowing users to use the hand tool in every panel, such as the layers panel or the history panel, would make it easier to navigate the interface with mouse and all types of graphics pen tablets.

The masking tools in Camera Raw are easy, efficient, and powerful, especially with the Alt Intersect shortcut. It might be very useful, if we could export them to be re-used in Photoshop, even if we lose their dynamicness.

When merging layers in Photoshop, the resulting layer always takes the name of the topmost layer. Could you add an option for the merged layer to keep the name of the first selected layer instead? This would save time and avoid constant renaming.

I am currently working on a template for headshots with the upcoming election and want to show a 'live area' for clients to reference when aligning their photos to the guide. A cropped artboard would not work in this case, since the program we upload the final to will crop the image according to the info submitted.   My idea is to have the ability to turn a layer, into a 'guide only' layer. Like the one in After Effects, a layer that you can leave the visibility on and it won't export with the final.   A lot of what we do as designers is to make the hand-off as easy to use as possible. This would be a useful feature for templates.

I would like to request an option in Preferences that allows users to specify a fixed default font size for new text layers.At present, even after resetting Preferences, the default font size may be automatically set to a large value such as “50.” This appears to be influenced by document resolution and zoom level rather than by a user-defined setting.While automatic sizing may be useful in some situations, it creates unnecessary repetitive adjustments for users who frequently create labels, annotations, figures, presentation graphics, or other text-heavy materials.For professional workflows, consistency and predictability are often more important than automatic optimization. It would be very helpful to have an option such as:Default Type Size: [ 16 pt ] Enable automatic default type size based on document resolution and zoomThis would allow users to choose between Adobe’s automatic behavior and a fixed personal default, improving efficiency without removing the current functionality.

..it's the mode I need like 95% of the time - but for some reason it keeps reverting to "Background (default)" or "Transparent (default)" eventually when opening further images....making it necessary to manually choose "Content-Aware Fill" over and over again (I probably do this 300 times a month).. One instance where it changes away from the manually-set "Content-Aware Fill" is when I open a file with more than one layer (background layer being locked by default).The problem is the fill mode then changes to "Background (default) for all open files, and all files I open from there on out.The only "solution" to set it back to "Contant-Aware" is to quit PS, open it again without a file, set crop tool, set "Content-Aware Fill", close PS, open it again..Also it doesn't seem to make sense in the first place as to why the fill mode changes - when opening a single-layer file (with locked background) it will happily stay with "Content-Aware" - see attached screenshots.. This is really doing my

When drawing in Photoshop, a lot of times I like to use Lasso tools to add or to erase the subject; however, it takes so long to continuously lasso every single time when I want to same shapes consistently when using symmetry turns on.By adding extra features to lasso tool that can select shape shapes across with symmetry would definitely cut down the time of manual work of lasso.

Example of not being able to scroll to the bottom of asset at 25%"Save for Web" flowIssues:Cannot fully scroll to bottom or top of asset at smaller percentages of 100% Image Format: When attempting to switch from GIF to JPEG, it will not switch when highlighting multiple slices. I didn’t have this issue before this new update. It will require that I select another option and then try changing to JPEG again. Highlighting slices and locating what type of sxport they will be is incredibly difficult. The UI is awful and the area where it does say the file type and size on the left hand corner above the percentage drop down menu, is small and not user friendly. Requests: Adding a scroll bar to the workflow where you view your asset and its slices. Make file type indicator on left hand corner larger or bold so user can understand what slice they are looking at. Some kind of feedback/connection to the selected slice in that moment.  

I am sorry, I don't have much experience (have been designing only since 2001), but have an idea: How about we put a HEX CODE value in the COLOR window? That might be very handy since sometimes some designers work with hex codes because we could paste, remember, type them. Imagine? Might help with the dwindling user base too.. Info window displays RGB Values. I can copy the HEX code, so it is there.. Why do i need to have the friction to open a Color picker? I used to use this lesser known app that masks its name as A.I. but it actually means Adobe Illustrator. It has a working example of this function. Take a look, maybe your devs can take the same idea into Photoshop.  

I love using the Pattern Preview function for standard repeats. Is it possible to use this function for a half drop repeat?

please make it possible to have one key for shortcutsi dont like clicking multiple keys for an action i just want one keyit will save a lot time, i use in premier, and after effect but i cant in photoshop“for this screen shot i wanted ‘-’ for save instead of ‘CTRL+s’ which is too much
