Feature Requests

I use Photoshop for most all of my photo edits. When I open Photoshop v 25.4 on my desktop, with the frequent updates the application forces me to constantly have a learning curve. In addition, a hunt for Quick Actions always seems necessary. Why are the Quick Actions always so difficult to access?Return on investment and opportunity costs are always in the back of my mind when I am creating a new graphic for a client. Having to open the Discover Panel each time I open Photoshop, then hunt for hunt for Quick Actions seems to be both redundant and tedious. Are these options ever going to be part of the top menu, side menu or panel options?Also, when there are new features updated in Photoshop, I suggest that the turorials should be able to be downloaded as a PDF for those of us who may not remember the steps to perform the actions after one quick reading of the tutorial. *See screenshot. 

Generative fill needs to come up in its own window like Content-aware fill so that you can accept and apply the results in order to get charged a generative credit.  Users should not be getting credits deducted for unwanted or unusable results unless you vastly increase the credit alotment.

I work wiht a shitton of brushes.I like how they added folders but it's still hard to find or move your favourite brushes when you have a large amount of them. Some ideas for finding things easier:-Brush bookmark tag -> Show bookmarked brushes-Brush color tags  -> like with layers; being able to set different colors for each brush -> I would find this very helpful since we would be able to easily customize which brush gets tagged.Reason: Each project I work on might need different sets of brushes from my library and I can't afford to search again and again through them as I switch between work.Some are better for painting some are better for lineworkThis for a dynamic workflow. Thank you!  

There may already be something out there on this.Working in Selection mode and want to make more than 1 change to a selection. I find I am able to only select one item ie "Expand" a follow on dialogue box appears as to how many pixels then disappears. Be great if the user can change more than one thing here.  I know the Select and Mask screen allows multiple changes. However, be nice to be able to float the Modify screen out IOT make mutiple changes. ie Expand and Smooth. PS is an awesome program. Just wanted to see what others think.  

Hello,I try the KI to Generate Objects or Expand Pictures.But the AI is a "Child" to other AI Companys. To make it better bring the Funktion that User can give the AI Templates so the AI can learn better.  At this time is the Adobe AI Years away from "Lexica" i try the Website. I Believe only one that can create 80-100% perfect things or Persons 80% Realistic . Many work for Adobe to bring the AI to do that.

This request is pretty simple. Presently, photoshop does not allow selecting multiple layers and deleting anything from them at once while using the marquee tool.  Technically, I do not see any logical or technical reason for this restriction. To repro: 1. create two layers, paint something in both of them2. shift select both layers3. use marquee tool to select areas you painted in both layers4. hit delete User should be able delete pixels from both layers at the same time, but currently has to select only one layer at a time, which can be inconvenient in some circumastances.  Its a small request, but nice QoL feature. I am running the latest Photoshop - 25.3.1  

I have a workflow where I would like copies of linked artwork with identical transformations. The simplest way to do this is to right click the smart object and select "Create new smart object via copy". The problem is, only embedded smart objects have the "Create new smart object via copy" option available. It took me quite a long time of searching the web to figure out that to create a new smart object via copy, it must be an embedded smart object instead of a linked smart object (both of which appear very similarly in the ui to someone not knowing there's a difference). I'd like to be able to make a new smart object via copy in the same way for linked smart objects as I can currently do so with embedded smart objects.

Hi there, Could we add a visibility/opacity strength attribute to change the visual intensity of the Marching Ants, or create an alternative visible selection of whats selected.   Yes, I know you can hide them, but the bounding box also hides (for skewing), and, I would like to still see what is selected rather than have it visible or not, as well as know where the corners are of the bounding box. The issue is that thin line art or thin contents are proving difficult to see if I'm skewing, move, rotating, etc, and when making minor adjustments the marching ants are very dominant.  Even if there an alternative selection view instead of marching ants, such as the content of a layer, determined by it's opacity is given a bright colour.Im not looking to replace what is there, but, give an alternative option for ease of use, it's very distracting to have a moving selection when trying to make changes to line art. Peter

Request: add two capabilities to the text feature of Photoshop:Auto Fit: Automatically have the text resized so that it can fit within the existing text box.Copy & Paste: Enable copy and paste from other programs (Word or Pages) into the text box where the existing formatting will be maintained.Issue: It requires multiple steps to create text boxes without these two featuresWorkflow Impact: A text box can be created in 1/3rd the time (assuming a full text box) if these features are enabled.  Most programs have these: Microsoft, Google, and Apple.Basic steps to reproduce the problems: Create a text box covering the canvas on 1920 x 1080. Type text that can be over 1 ½ of this text box.  The customer must resize the text box grab the handles and position them to fit the corners on both sides.  Secondly, when a customer copies and pastes already formatted text from Word it has to be completely reformatted.  Underlining takes an especially long time.

It's a well known issue, that you can't change the canvas size, when smart filters (like liquify on a smart object e.g.) were done.There should at least pop up a warning, if any smart filter is detected and the user is going to change the canvas size or doing any other action, that will result in wrong recalculation of the smart filters. These small filters were mostly hidden, even when you look at the layer you have first to open the small panel. So this is always a dangerous trap.I can't count how often I had to rework for hours, because there have been nested objects with smart filters, that have been forgotten by someone.Thanks for looking at this.

Request: The Photoshop History Tab should have the same level of detail as the Actions tabIssue: The history tab only specifies the function, without any details:Re-size: Image SizeSaveSet BackgroundActions tab: In contrast, the Actions tab provides details of what was done with each function:Resize: Image Size: specifies the algorithm used, height & width, type of, etc.Save: specifies file type (i.e. JPG) the quality (i.e. 10), location, etc.Set Background: specifies opacity, Mode, etc.Click on Step: When you click on the step the Image Size settings choices dialog box appears.Workflow Impact: The customer has no details of the settings he used for the various functions. This can result in the customer having to recreate/repeat his work which wastes a lot of time.Basic steps to reproduce the problem: Open Raw file/Image/image size/Change Resolution to 180 and select Automatic for the algorithm.Expected result: On the history panel it displays the % reduction in dimensions and the

When setting a point precisely, e.g. using the "Perspective Crop tool" or "Pencil tool" - it would be great to have the cursor area magnified on-the-fly at pixel level so it is easy to see where to click.Snag-IT uses this feature when making screen captures and you are actually able to nudge pixel direction using the arrow-keys before doing the selection (see picture).That would be awesome to have in Photoshop and Lightroom.

Bonjour et meilleurs voeux à tous(tes) et à chacun(une) !Personnellement j'utilise souvent la règle qui se trouve surles bords du plan de travail (à gauche)Pour plus de précisions est-il possible de rendre les limitations de chaque cran plus visibles.Comme le réticule de la pointe qui disparait dans les zones sombres.Un Alt ou Ctrl pourrait l'illuminer lorsqu'il est plus visible.Merci !TG

I tried out the new generative expand in all directions thingy today.  At first glance it looked quite impressive.  Closer inspection revealed a few flaws.Problem 1:  I drag out my canvas in PS using the crop tool - then expand the original image.  The generated expansion doesn't fill the canvas - there's an annoying small gap around the outside.Not sure if this is just my settings, Win 10 or a general problem.If other people are affected can we get the generated fill to exceed the size of the canvas by a few pixels please.Problem 2:  The generated expansion alters the original considerably.  Example. - picture of house has small tower - blue sky above - trees to the right - hedge to the left.Expand doesn't give me more blue sky - it adds a crenallation to the top of the tower, what appears to be disgarded rubbish appears in the new hedge to the left, the trees to the right get taller and the conifer to the extreme right gets replaced completely by a decid

A new update was just released featuring draggable fade point and effects for audio.  And I would like to request that you implement the EXACT same functionality for speed ramping video.  The process to make a speed ramp is far to clunky for an editing technique that has become so prevalent and popular.  Literally just add the same drag points at the top of video clips and allow for different shapes of ramps, etc, EXACTLY the same interface as the new Dragable audio fade points.Thank you

Here the bug topic I opened : https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/photoshop-2024-is-not-able-to-open-a-big-png-file-i-got-64-gb-ram-could-not-open-image-because-o/idc-p/14362762 I am able to open 508836 x 4188 pixels PNG image file both inpaint .net and also in Gimp but photoshop fails even at  383652 x 3143 pixels this is unacceptable     

I have used Photoshop for over ten years and my work involves with enlarging artwork inside Photoshop. The dialogue box upon opening a file like pdf,  the one where you can resize the file and set ppi, etc., is constantly loading whenever you change any value. If the file size is too big, it freezes your computer until it finishes doing some weird calculation.  I don't need it to start calculating when I haven't even finished typing or changing values. Calculate after I hit ok! I can't believe this is not in Photoshop yet!

Hello, displacement maps are so powerful. However, the implementation is so clunky. Having to save a psd, then guess the settings, load the psd to see how it looks. If it's not correct to have to do it again. It would be nice to have a visual real time preview of the map and be able to adjust settings and see what's happening. 

There is currently no way to drag and drop styles to move them around in the Character / Paragraph Styles pallette in Photoshop CC. It makes the management of styles difficult once you have more than a dozen or so in that pallette. Please correct this!

An idea for a shadow tool:Sidelight gives us the shadows and appearance of depth that can make an image more interesting than flat front light; sometimes flat light is all we have at that time.  There's no way to fix that without knowing what is nearer and closer in the image, and therefore what casts a shadow over what.Some smartphones now have LiDAR sensors that can measure distances to a grid of points in the image and capture that at the same time as the photo for use in VR.Using the depth info from the LiDAR file, plus a user choice of the direction of shadows they would like created, a mask of gray tones could be generated that selectively darkens areas in the image to generate the illusion of the shadows that sidelight creates.The mask would darken pixels that are slightly further distant (but not greatly further in the distance, the nearby tree won't cast a shadow on the building a mile away) from bright zones, in the direction of shadow we want across the image, with dark

I'd love to see same approach in Photoshop   where we could anchor  a mask  to a group of other layers  or certain layer comp.  Thus having dynamicly updating mask .   I know  we could do it with clipping by groups  but it so complicated  so  I start to loose the idea  what clips what  and  often couldnt understand a thing in my own file just next morning.     So a mask  we could point to certain group bellow   or certain layer comp   would be much more easier to read .  Especially if it wouldn't require  to turn  intensity into  transparency.    Even better if such  anchor could read certain RGBA channel   of such group.

it's cool to have procedural filters  in Photoshop  beta.   Although I did  simple  "height to normal"  sbsar and it works properly only on 32 bit  image  in Photoshop.  But please , let it work as adjustment  layers too .    Like in Affinity Photo.   I understand it may work slow  but let us deside on our own.  With GPU support it might still be ok.

While working with multiple monitors sometimes I put photoshop in a different window. HOWEVER, when I do that, the following pop ups within the program always open up in the original spot. It would be cool that whenever you drag the main working window to another monitor that all following popups, pop up inside the main window in the monitor on which it was dragged. Hope that makes sense. Cheers!

The REMOVE TOOL is WAAAAAAY TOOOOO SLOOOOOW.  It's insane guys.  

On Photoshop (Beta)* when using the Pen tool and I press the Option key on my keyboard, it changes to the Eyedropper tool instead of the Convert Point tool as it happens on the Photoshop stable version. It's annoying because I just want to 'break' an anchor point or handle easily and fast while I'm still creating the path. Why would I need an Eyedropper as a secondary tool if I'm just working with paths?—Please, revert that update, or tell me how I can change it myself.
