Feature Requests

I have been using Photoshop since CS 2 days and it's been a long journey. The software is advanced in many areas and now has more flexibility but the more it's getting advance the more sluggish it has become.MY PC specs are  Xeon 8 core, 16 threads, 64 gigs DDR4, RTX 3060 12gigs video memory gpu, Samsung EVO plus NVME storage. But still the software struggles to work in real-time and is a bit slow and less responsive.My system drivers are up to date, I'm using windows 11 lite edition which is faster than full features OS. Unlike Affinity Products which are quite butter smooth and faster in work around, Photoshop feels outdated in terms of performance. Any process taking 0.5 - 1 sec of time to even execute. The task should be working in nanosends, a quick and smooth experience. Even when I zoom in or out I can feel the delay.  It's like playing 60 fps video game on 144hz screen.  The whole framework of adobe photoshop should be change, and bring in more sta

Bridge > Filter > File Type does not find PSDs in sub-folders; it only finds PSDs in the selected folder. This is a useless search that adds zero value for users; I can find this faster simply by opening the folder. Think of the use case through the following scenario. It's dinner time and you're looking for your kids who are somewhere in the neighbourhood. If you search for them with a drone unit, you can find them if they are playing outside. But if they are inside their friends' homes playing video games, this search is useless. What you really need is to be able to find your kids whether they're outside all the homes (parent folder results) or both outside and inside neighbours' homes (parent and child folders). This is the same as the use case search scenario most of us have most of the time when we search Bridge: "Where the heck did I save PSD x or PSD y?" Therefore, please set the Bridge > Filter > File Type search function to display all PSD files that exi

Please, PLEASE give us a way to download colors IN BULK from our CC libraries into our LOCAL swatches panels! I have a numbr of color groups in my libary, and downloading them all one at a time, with a multi-step process for each, and then having to reoganize them into their oiginal groups is a ridiculous waste of time an effort. Please just let me drag and drop groups, or just bunches, my local swatches panel, OR let me export them in larger numbers as swatch files I can then easily import as needed and store locally., I am  frequently unable to connect to the internet, so I keep copies of ALL my presets on an external drive to be loaded as needed. I would love for it to be easier to keep my colors and swatches etc up to date between my library and my local drive. 

In the 1980s I saw a news documentary on TV that in America they had developed a technology to convert old Black & White movies into colour using computers. With computer technology, American studios had devised a way of adding colour to the old B&W films by digitally tinting single objects in each frame of the film until it was fully colourized; although Photoshop was not even known at that time, this technique was a kind of photoshopping every frame of the old black & white movies individually frame by frame. But this program was abandoned by the same American studios because at that time, in the 1980s, it cost US$ 3000.00 per celluloid frame to do it. But I am sure in today's digital world it can be done much cheaper.All I want to ask Adobe is, isn't there a way to use Artificial Intelligence in Photoshop and LightRoom to change all the similar black and white frames in a scene of a film to colour in one go rather than doing it frame by frame individually?If there is no

I do a lot of image repairs on photos the authors send us for inclusion in the books we design for them.I find I use it more now than the clone tool for removing elements large and small.One example is a cast group photo taken in a back room of a theater or school. The metal doors in the background wall have their hydraulic door closers visible. And I used the Remove tool to remove the closers and seamlessly continue the seam between door an jamb. I also find the tool to be more efficient in removing the myriad dust spots and scratches. It's really fantastic!

When using Blend If in Photoshop, is it possible for Adobe to create a mask (to be able to use on the spot) in between this layer and underlying layer. This would be the greatest change to photoshop in decades, and would help creative people more than ever, come up with newer approaches to their visual work!Why didn't Adobe think of doing something as simple as that. The layer masking could also be in the Blend If Panel too! Make this happen please.

A Pie Menu (Radial Menu) would be very efficient and useful in Photoshop. It has already proven very useful in Autodesk Alias, or Blender, for example. Once set up, you can access function extremely fast, usually you don't even have to take the time to read the menu, you just go with muscle memory.You could assign so many functions to it: Brushes, Custom Actions, New Layer, Undo,  layer modes etc. It would also work very nicely with a graphic tablet and its penAn example is attached

In Camera Raw, it would be nice to be able to prioritize the filters, put them in the order that we use them the most. So, if I use the geometry filter often, I could move it closer to the top along with the others I use most often. 

I had this super cool  soft on my mac mini which I lost few years ago and I miss it a lot.    https://www.fxguide.com/fxfeatured/tandent-lightbrush-engineering-an-image/. The company seems disappeared in thin air like a ghost   and the soft is no more available.     Please Adobe do  something like this . I don't need "regenrator".    I need  to remove shadows at all or rather split the shadows as a layer .            

Or maybe a non destructive layer filter that coul do  the structure and color adaptation to what beneath  it like what content aware move tool does.   I miss a lot an ability to match  image structures properly when use "CA move" tool.  And please add flip option too.

Add fractal designs to Parametric Filters in PS

Hi all, My team and I have a significant adjustment we'd like to see in Photoshop, InDesign, etc. We would like the line spacing to be automatically adjusted when the font size is increased.For example, a checkbox could be added (see screenshots).  We've encountered situations where this would have been useful several times, and we believe we're not alone in this need. It would be really great if this could be implemented. Many thanks and best regardsAdrian

Hi, I've seen this mentioned a couple times but haven't seen any actual discussion around it. Procreate has an amazing feature where you can hold the stylus down after drawing a freehand stroke, and it will automatically straighten the stroke from its starting point. You can then reposition the endpoint however you want, stretching the entire stroke in realtime until you let go. I think this would be an incredible addition to PS's drawing/painting toolset - I find it way easier to use in almost every scenario than the click-and-shift-click to draw a line between two points. Reasons:   - Procreate's tool allows you to straighten an actual stroke, including whatever pressure dynamics you may have applied along it. As far as I know, Photoshop's approach will interpolate between the stylus pressure of the starting and ending points, but doesn't really give you any active control over the stroke in between them. It's also extremely hard to get consistent/predictable results this way, a

Just an idea in case anyone is watching. I use dropshadows in layer styles all the time. I mock up artwork on walls a lot and use dropshadows on the frames. I get quite close to real looking shadows by using upwards of five dropshadows per frame/object, but with a few improvements the dropshadow effect could be much better.A 'length parameter' could be added. This would act differently to distance, in that rather than simply positioning the layer shape further away, it would give an angled stretch in the appropriate direction, (as if you duplicated and moved the object incrementally many many times like an illustrator blend). It is effectively the same as if you were to add an angle option to the spread parameter. When objects touch walls/floors the shadow starts at the point of contact and stretches away and this is not possible to do with the current dropshadow.The second thing I'd like to see is a very simple deform function, much like the warp mesh in layer transform, so that the s

As a 3D modeler, my work pipeline includes a lot of work on normal maps, and some of them are created from height maps which I compose in Photoshop.In the past, there used to be an Nvidia plug-in that could convert a layer to a normal map.Since then three things have happened:1. The Nvidia plugin no longer works on more recent (after 2018 or so) versions of photoshop2. An internal Normal map flter was introduced but as you increase the normal map's "depth" it tends to add unwanted distortion in the normal maps I create - adding haloes around hard edges to "smooth them out", possibly. It also contains some contrast controls that I haven't been able to find documentation for and seem to do nothing.3. These tools are about to be retired soon (or so adobe has been saying for some time now) Soon it seems I'll be left with no way to use normal maps inside photoshop and every time I want to create one I'll need to use some external tool.So I had an idea - would it be possible for Adobe t

Way too many fonts in the fonts menu. Please add a way to filter out or hide system fonts so that they aren't visible. Using Favorites is not an efficient solution when bouncing between different clients all day every day. This would be valuable in Ai and InDesign as well.

Insert in the settings the possibility to activate: "View, fit to screen" when opening a file or when editing with Photoshop from Lightroom with the various choicesI could not find "Viw, Fit to screen" both in Photoshop or Lightroom. Can you please give me more details ?

Currently, the process of renaming layers in Adobe's apps is inconsistent and misleading for new users.It provides a frustrating experience when working in several apps simultaneously. To rename a layer, users need to perform different actions in Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects:  Double ClickReturn keyAfter Effects–OKPhotoshopOK–IllustratorOK– Please, fix it, and make it consistent.

Greetings Adobe Photoshop users, As an editor for a website that specializes in cosmetic dentistry and dental implants, Adobe Photoshop 2021 is an invaluable tool for creating exceptional graphics. Lately, I have been experiencing challenges with the pixel quality of the fonts I add to my designs. The fonts are not displaying the desired level of crispness that I require for my graphics. I was wondering if any of you have faced a similar issue with fonts in Adobe Photoshop 2021. If you have, I would appreciate any tips or insights you might have to enhance the pixel quality of added fonts in your designs. I am always looking for ways to improve the visual appeal of my website graphics, and I would be immensely grateful for any assistance in this regard. Thank you for taking the time to read my message, and I look forward to hearing from you.

In our educational Adobe license we cannot use the "generative fill" function in Photoshop. We use the Shared Device license (Default - Creative Cloud All Apps for K-12 - Shared Device, ETLA). Is there a way to add this feature? I see a lot of questions about this, but Adobe just doesn't come up with a solution. Should we purchase other licenses and incur high costs? Then the entire effect of the educational licenses is gone. I hope you (Adobe employees) will think about this and come up with a solution. This will help many school institutions. 

Hello Adobe Team and Photoshop Community,I'm a Photoshop user with 15 years of experience, and I've come up with an idea that could significantly enhance the workflow in Photoshop, particularly for creators involved in image manipulation.Idea: Integration of Camera Raw features into Adjustment Layers.Details:Adjustment Layer Feature: Implement Camera Raw settings as part of Photoshop's adjustment layers. This would include elements like the Basic Panel, Color Pane, HSL, Camera Calibration, and Color Grading.Layer-Specific Adjustments: By having Camera Raw in adjustment layers, users can apply settings to individual layers without navigating away to filters.Enhanced Color and Light Matching: This feature would allow creators to adjust light and color settings on a single layer while observing and matching them with other layers in real time.Efficiency and Accuracy: The integration would provide a more efficient workflow, enabling faster and more precise color and lighting adjustments.Th

I'm working with old photos many of which are printed on fiber paper or paper that has dots or ridges or photos that were printed on "canvas." They are overall patterns that cover the entire photograph. It's not a moire effect - these textures are an integral part of the paper. It's the "finish" style. For example, back in the old days you could specify that your photos be printed out with a glossy or matte finish. This is an extreme version of that. I'm trying to edit these photos in Photoshop and it's a nightmare. The only solutions that I've found are complicated and I haven't had much luck in creating a successful result. Here are the ones that I've found: 1. FFT (fast fourier transform) I'm not nerdy enough to figure it out. It's like old HP calculators that used "reverse Polish notation." 2. scan the photo once and then rotate it 180 degrees and scan it again, then merge the two like photographic plates. I won't live long enough to do that with all the photos I'm editing. 3. It w

Provide a special panel for AI generative fills like the neutral filter in Photoshop.   In which give a whole panel like adobe firefly web site in that panel, AI generative fill give an option to insert background of our choice in our photo with one click so we don't need to write prompt every time.   Given a sample image like adobe firefly web site an image like that image should be generated and the background image should appear in our photo, next to the box given to write a prompt, there should be an option to upload a background sample image, both the option to write a prompt or upload a sample image, the prompt After writing this is still not giving 100% desired result in photoshop, so give option to upload sample image to add photo background, add something to photo, atleast 500 units per month in basic plan still this photoshop AI is not working properly.

In both After Effects and Illustrator clicking with a scroll wheel and dragging acts like a pan tool which is very handy. For some reason it doesn't work this way in Photoshop. Middle click does nothing in Photoshop. Please implement a feature in Photoshop so that the scroll wheel click works same good way as it does in After Effects and illustrator.  Scroll wheel up/downScroll wheel click and dragAfter EffectsZoom in/outPanIlustratorZoom in/outPanPhotoshopZoom in/out––– There is a similar request for AdobeXD: https://community.adobe.com/t5/character-animator-ideas/add-a-middle-wheel-drag-for-timeline/idi-p/13559695
