The reference point does not snap to guides or objects, forcing a very convoluted workaround, of moving the origin point, setting up guides, then moving the reference point coordinates in the option bar, as described in this post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/moving-the-pivot-point-in-photoshop/m-p/14293378#M770210  

Let's list what features, functionality or keyboard shortcuts Adobe Developers should protect...just an idea. What should they consider protecting or avoid adjusting. If they have to change or make adjustments, they should commit the time and resources necessary to maintain the fidelity of the core (protected) version. Putting it back the way the Long-Time time user expects it to behave and react. Consider your current workflow and when it is disrupted. A disruption is anything that forces you into a workflow change or having to update your preferences.   Examples: The Zoom Tool, Resize Behavior - Holding Shift or Ctrl, Opening a new document in an Artboard or the Original way.   Please Consider Adding or Voting for: Features, Functionality, Keyboard Shortcuts that should be reverted back to the older way.

On occasion i have made some of the largest images,   Unlike other photographers, I prefer to edit my images to get the optimun dynamic range that a rendered stich image provides as well as craft a photograph.  Many images i make are greater than the psb file's 300k resolution.

Automatic Save Interval Setting: Users can set the application to automatically save their work at regular intervals, such as every 5 minutes.Version Management:Short-Term Versions: The application will keep the most recent 10 versions saved at the short-term interval (e.g., every 5 minutes).Long-Term Versions: In addition to short-term versions, the application will also save at a longer interval, such as every hour. From these hourly saves, the application will maintain a separate set of up to 10 versions. This ensures that users have access to not just the most recent changes, but also to versions from earlier in their workflow.Save Location Selection: Users should be able to choose where these versions are saved, such as on a local folder, network drive, or cloud storage.User Customization: Users should have the flexibility to adjust the number of versions saved both in the short-term and long-term intervals, depending on their specific needs and storage capacity.This feature is de

sometimes i build files with many layers that need to have an identical mask and my only solution has been to duplicate the mask to the new layers - which works fine until i have 20 layers with the same mask and suddenly i have to update them all - which means deleting 19 masks and replacing them with the updated one. instead i propose an option to create a mask and associate layers to it so that no matter how the layers are structured you can update one mask and it updates on all layers associated to it. this would be great with both pixel based masks as well as vector masks. for the record I also want to be clear that this is for scenarios where the layers cant simply be placed into a group or be clipped to a layer beneath, which i admit comes from not being as careful with layer structure as I could be - but that would be a left brain function when I am operating in right brain mode

I work with PS 24.7.1. As is the program is fine. What would help me improve my workflow would allow me to color-code individual tools and then group tools by color. Phil Reynolds - Consultant       [personal information removed]      

If anyone is fimiliar with Maya you have a custom shelf where you can add any tool or application you want to. Is there an option in photoshop to create your own window where you can drop any action, brush or tool into for quick use? If not i would love to see one. 

In order to prevent oversaving psd files when flattening images, I think Photoshop could offer a couple options:1. Open the flattened image in a new document (with the same name as the psd)2. Open a window to export the flattened image without actually merging all document layers3. Add an option when saving/exporting to export a flattened imageI think these choices would give users more control over their exports and help them work non-destructively without the need to make a copied psd file of the original in order to prevent accidentally saving over. Thoughts?

I'd love to see a way to disable the pop up tutorials and new features. They are buggy and i already know how to use the features but they keep showing up. Generative Fill, for example, shows a screen I can't dismiss. Same with after using GF, i have to go to a video. No necessary. Or at least give the option to disable. Thanks.

Would love to see an update that includes this in the import window.It would expedite the culling process for so many!Thank you, I love the program overall! Just want to add to it!

A feature that has been liked immensely in other programs, is the reference layer feature. The feature works in the way that if one was to set one layer as a reference layer, one could use things such as the fill tool on the layers below it, but where it would go would be affected by the reference layer. This speeds up the drawing process a lot, and it useful for coloring quickly and editing later. It is a feature that some rely heavily on in other programs, and are dissapointed to find that Photoshop doesn't have it. If there is another way to do this in Photoshop that is easy to use, please suggest.

Would be amazing to be able to apply Smart Filters to a folder without having to commit it to being a Smart Object. 

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 love the Generative Fill future and use it regulary. When processing photos for my son's hockey team, there are a couple of sponsor signs on the glass in the background that are very distracting, and I use Gnerative Fill to go through each image (25 players x 3 poses each = 75 images!) and remove them. It is amazing to me that I can select the sign, just click "Generative Fill" and then "Generate," and magically the sign is gone! That has saved me so much time versus when I used to have to remove those signs manually in years past. However, I am a HEAVY keyboard user...my process flow includes almost nothing but keyboard shortcuts, which save me so much time. It would be great if there were a single keyboard shortcut that would just run the Generative Fill command on the selected area of the image. I have never needed to add a prompt, since I am just trying to remove the distraction, so if there was just one keyboard shortcut that would run Generative Fill, that would be an amazing t

Now that the person detection AI is so good, please create an auto crop feature that will use the ai detected person, then have some options regarding cropping around them.  I.e. Find person, user selects percentage of frame if possible to have as on top, bottom, left and right directions, if not available leave max border possible.  This would save me and other photographers a ton of time!  Also, please add the amazing ai denoise tool for jpeg and tiffs!

 

I'm not really sure how to describe this problem.  I believe it is part of the latest Photoshop CC release for Mac.  I noticed today that all of my layer masks have a weird square icon with a circle in the center, in the preview.  It's covering up about 50% of the mask, so i cant tell which mask is which by lookign at them.  I'm not sure what this is supposed to indicate but it's really annoying and I am looking for a way to turn it off, so i can see my layer masks.  see screenshot below. I'm running Photoshop 2024 25.1.0 release on Mac running Ventura 13.6.1 

The previous version of Camera Raw provided a comprehensive Basic panel which allowed to make most of my important edits and quickly use the visibility toggle to preview the changes to my original version. The latest update of CR breaks the Basic panels into three panels (Light, Color, Effects), each with its own visibility toggle. So, now, to determine the overall effect of basic CR edits, I must perform the following steps: (1) use the visibilty toggle for each of the three panels, mentally analyzing how the changes in each panels combines with the changes in the other panels; (2) commit the changes and return to Photoshop; (3) undo the CR edits to view the original version; (4) return to CR, re-apply the previous edits, and tweak as necessary; (5) repeat the process as many times as is necessary.  In the previous CR with the Basic panel, all I had to do was: (1) press the visibility toggle. I would say this is a significant increase to my workload. Please bring back the Basic p

Most of the design and creation software I use all use the middle mouse button (clicking on the scroll wheel) to allow you to slide the canvas around (basically the Hand tool equivalent). Even Illustrator now supports this functionality. (This button press seems to be available because it appears as though clicking the scroll wheel in Photoshop does nothing.) I currently use the space bar to temporarily trigger the Hand Tool, but it's annoying going back and forth between Photoshop and essentially ANY video software that all use the space bar for Play. Please add middle mouse button/scroll wheel click as a shortcut to temporarily enable the Hand Tool

Give the adjustments to the previous version please

Currently in order to set a specific value for a guide one needs to perform absolutly different actions in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.In Photoshop you need to click "View → Guides → New Guide…" and then enter a specific value for a guide :In Illustrator you need to create a guide, select it and adjust its position in the Properties panel under the Transform section: In Premiere Pro and After Effects, you need to right-click on a guide, then select "Edit Position…" in After Effects or "Edit Guide…" in Premiere Pro. After that, you can edit the value inside the window (even these windows look different in Premiere Pro and After Effects):Premiere Pro:After Effects:Due to the inconsistency among the apps within Adobe's Suite, it's challenging for new users to learn how to use it. The same result is achieved differently in each app for some reason. Please make it consistent to decrease the steep learning curve that is present nowadays. 

I guess that everybody agrees that assigning colors to layers and menu items, like keyboard shortcuts, enhance productivity.It'd be great if users could assign colors to tool presets in the options bar panel as well.When users have a lot of tools defined in tool presets, one needs to search and read each time to identify a particular tool preset, even knowing more or less the placement in the column.Assigning color through the preset manager could help a lot in organization by kind of tool (brushes, erasers, etc) and so, enhance productivity.

Hello,  There was this problem years ago, that if you edited an 360-degree panorama in camera raw you would end up with a seam on the edges. (see: https://community.theta360.guide/t/360-pano-support-in-adobe-camera-raw-11-4/4711). Now, this has been fixed since camera raw version 11.4, I belive and is called "Edge aware editing in 360-degree panoramas". To my surprise, I ended up with a seam in the latest version of PS and camera raw recently.  The problem is, camera raw seems to only apply this edge aware editing mode when it recognizes the image as a "real" 360-degree panorama - shot with a real 360-camera. Since all of my 360 images are renderings, made with 3D software, I end up having this old problem again.  The fix for now is, to inject false metadata into the image with another software - which is a pain.An option inside camera raw's settings to toggle this mode or any other way to make this work would be much appreaci

i think, ai generation window is too much near, too the object and its discomfortable when you select something. (sorry for my english, but i think you understand

As a professional boudoir photographer, with a large following and hundreds of raving reviews and positive feedback, the limits on the Generative Fill for nudity is (while understandable) a bit frustrating. I know it's a difficult workaround but I'm wondering if the following idea could gain any traction for my fellow boudoir photographers. I'm proposing photographers' ability to apply for an Adobe approved professionally licensed use of the AI functions by submitting a body of work, alongside testimonials of clients, as well as reviews. Maybe even proof of the success of the business and it's ethical practices. Based on the limited language of the Generative Fill's guidelines, we don't actually violate them. But the simple nature of the nudity we sometimes have in individual photos, has continuously blocked my ability to lighten the load of manual retouching. There is no generating nudity or "p0rn" or violence or anything. But even using GF to smooth out distractions on our
