Feature Requests

Please allow Eyedropper access for to the Smudge tool, at least when Finger Painting is on. At present, when using the smudge tool, holding down the option key does nothing. You must switch to a regular brush, use the eyedropper (invoking it temporarily with the option key), then switch back to the smudge tool. This is awkward.

Hey,I’ve been using Photoshop for over ten years. Few years ago I also started using Procreate on an iPad, because it feels more intuitive and natural for drawing.Many artists with a similar background and experience, that I talked to feel that Photoshop is missing a feature that would make digital illustration much more convenient and faster.Problem:In Procreate you pick one brush and can switch freely between painting, erasing and smudging.In Photoshop a brush preset is often tied to one tool(especcialy when you download some brush packs). Ofcourse You can duplicate the brush and remove the tool "binding" to the brush, but that wastes time and clutters the Brush panel.Solution:It would be a huge improvement if any brush could be used in all three modes even when it has a default tool assigned.For example, when you download a brush set you could immediately use a brush to paint, erase or smudge without creating separate copies.The current system could still be available for those who

I am posting this comment on the PhotoShop Discussion Forum, but it could equally well belong to any other Adobe Creative app's Forum.I have been a committed user of a wide range of Adobe apps for decades. Throughout all that time, I have been consistently frustrated by Adobe's insistence on complicated key-mouse combinations. I am one of the rare breed of literally 'single-handed' users in that my left hand is of little reliable use.Attempting esoteric combinations such as clicking on something while simultaneously pressing the Crtl and Shift keys, for example, is something I can only do clumsilily, unreliably, and with a certain amount of discomfort.I am all too aware that manufacturers only pay lip-service at best to accessibility issues, and then only when legislation requires them to do something. There are simply too many forms and degrees of 'disability' to cater for them all.  The cost would become prohibitive.However, for desktop or web-based software applications solutio

In working with images opened from camera raw as smart objects, I often find that I would like to re-open one or more of the individual images in camera raw to make changes, perhaps in exposure , or to remove something that I didn't notice before. At present, I have to open the images as "not smart" (dumb?) layers in order to do the alignment, then convert the layer I want to modify to a smart object and use the camera raw filter. It would be so nice to have the align function work on the smart objects to do the geometric, free transform part of the alignment and then alow me to go back into camera raw to modify tone, light, etc.

As the title suggests, bring Actions to the iPad Version as soon as possible.

I belive the IOS version of Photoshop should include a brush that does not automatically appy anti-aliasing. The pencil tool on desktop is a good example, or simply the ability to turn off the spray of semi-transparent pixels that hoarde around the edges of my every brushstroke. Be it through a checkbox or a true "100% Hardness".   All my work has been with aliased lines, meaning that I downloaded the app only to find out it was funtionally useless to me. I knew not all features would be accesable on mobile, but the pencil? I implore you to consider adding this age-old feature to mobile so I can enjoy creating in Photoshop on the go!! 

I shoot a lot of group photos and inevitably someone has their eyes closed or moved the head, etc etc etc.  Please use AI to take a face/head/shoulders from one photo and transfer it to another photo seamlessly inserting it in the group photo.  This would save working photographers tons of time from doing this manually.   Ideally, AI could search 2,3,4+ images shot during the same session and give us options of what might be the best head replacement from an image.    

The Shape Feather Mask value remains the same when the resolution is increased. I have added 2 screenshots. There was no such issue in previous versions. It started after the latest updates and is still the same.   In the screenshots I added, I have two shape layers at a resolution of 512x384. The feather value of these layers remains the same when the resolution is increased to bigger size. (1440x1080) I increase the resolution using Image Size. I checked the settings there, tinkered with them, but nothing changed. It's always the same. Scale Styles is selected in the settings. As I said, this problem never happened before. It probably started after version 2025. I'm not entirely sure.   I'm using PS version 26.10.0 My system: Macbook Pro Apple M1 Max - 32GB Ram MacOS: Sequoia 15.6.1       

That's that, a simple remove, even with a right click would do.

Adobe, bring back the Quick Share button that was at the top right of Photoshop (it was just removed with the April release of Photoshop 23.3)The reasoning for removing it is stated as "due to low usage, desire to simplify the options bar UI, and redundant functionality to other export functions."But there is no other export function (that I am aware of) that allows you to send an image directly to another device via AirDrop -- This was extremely convenient as I didnt have to save/export a file onto my HDD everytime I wanted to send something to my phone or tablet.Please bring it back and tuck it away somwhere if you have to.

Please add a polygonal lasso tool for PS on iPad. Or implement a lasso tool as Adobe Fresco has. Right now it is pretty challenging to make straight selections with available tools. So I find myself using Fresco instead of Photoshop whenever I can.

When using the ruler in inches in Photoshop Web, there are five section to an inch (Attachment 1), as opposed to the inch ruler in the Photoshop desktop, which accurately depicts an inch with four sections (Attachment 2). Also, notice the size of the ruler marks in both version. As a high school photography teacher, im certian this inconistancy will confuse students and make simple measurement or readings uneccesarily difficult and push students away form using the web version of Photoshop. I'm recommending the inch ruler in Photoshop Web be corrected to resemble the inch ruler  in the Phjotoshop desktop app. This is neccessary fix that can easy be corrected and released in a future update.

I think the file extension should not be limited to just .pds and .tif, .jpeg, .png, .pdf... should be added among the options. These options will not only save time for the user, but will also make business life a little easier. I think this feature can be added to Photoshop. It will add some more value to Photoshop.... thanks     

In the newest update, the "Distribute" tools are hidden behind the three dots and a drop down menu. I use these tools often and loved how, in the previous version, they were all available in the options bar. Now, if I select multiple layers and want to distribute them and then group or merge them, which is something I do a lot in my line of work, I have to click on the dots, click on distribute, and then click away from the drop down menu to be able to use my keyboard shortcuts to merge or group. In addition, if I'm on Auto-Select and I accidentally click in my artwork and not in the artboard to get out of the drop down, I've lost my selection and have to go back in and re-select to group or merge. What was once a one click, one keyboard shortcut action has now become at best a three click, one keyboard shortcut action. This adds up if you do it a lot, and my workflow is being impacted. It would be wonderful to be able to modify the Align and Distribute tools that show up in the option

Currently for Photoshop users on Windows to install Scripts and Plugins and ICC profiles the user requires admin permissions to copy files in.  This means any pipeline tool we may which would copy scripts from a repository has to run with admin priviledges as well...  This keeps leading to issues for us, and this leads to user/company plugins and scripts needing to be installed on each and every version of Photoshop.  I would like to see one of these 2 options to solve this... Option 1;Add these folders to search paths for Photoshop to use for Plugins/Scripts, anything in these folders would take precidence over what's in the c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 202x\Presets\Scripts etc...C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Photoshop\PluginsC:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Photoshop\ScriptsC:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\ICC\ - (would add to what is in  C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color) orC:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Adobe

Windows 11Photoshop 26.9When using the move tool to grab a corner of a smart object, on click the size of the bounding box changes to the full size of the smart object. This makes it impossible to click and drag to transform.  You have to release the click and then go to the new position of the corner.  The transformation corners of the smart object should be consistent regardless of layer visibility within the smart object.  Ether make it so that the corners always reflect the full size of the layers in the smart object or make it so that the corners only reflect the visible area of the smart object.  

Why on earth is there STILL not an option to automatically scale strokes and effects in Photoshop like there is in Illustrator? This is 2025 and has to be one of the easiest thing Adobe could possibly implement. As somone who usually has to make 10+ sizes of most graphics, it quite literally drives me crazy to go in and "guess" what the right manual effect scaling could be for every single size. Every rounded corner gets ruined... every stroke... every drop shadow... ALL OF IT.Please Adobe, I'm begging you to fix this.  (On a similar note: Please also add a better resize option like Canva has. Or at least a function that lets you rescale an entire artboard with the art proportionately. It's nearly impossible to make a 1080x1080 square into a 2000x2000 square with all of the artwork in the exact same place if I choose to change the size after the fact.)

Since updating photoshop beta I've noticed i can no longer deselect layers by just clicking an empty area in the layers panel. Now if i do that I get a message saying I need to press command and click to do that. Why?   Adobe there is no reason for this extra step to be necesary. This change does not make photoshop better or faster to use. It makes deselecting layers less easy.   Please revert to the old way or at least give us the option to choose if clicking empty space (without command) deselects layers in the layers panel.           [abuse removed]

I'm looking for the feature of being able to convert a capitalized text to lowercase when we paste it into photoshop (although the font supports lowercase). There is a feature to convert from lower case to upper case, but we cannot do the opposite.

Feature Request:   Currently, other AI generation can do this with meiocre results - I've only found one (on a real estate based AI gen site) that will not change the architectural shape of the building. I've attached what I'm looking for from that web site: changing the lighting in a photo from day to night without changing the content. Why is this useful to us?   We render proposed architectural signs onto photos of buildings.  If those signs are illuminated, it's helpful to be able to show the sign as it will look at night.  Most of the time our sales reps only get shots of the site during the day.

Feature Request: File-Embedded Actions for Photoshop DocumentsI would like to propose a feature that allows Photoshop users to embed specific Actions directly into a PSD or PSB file.Concept:When an Action is created, it can be mapped to a specific file and saved as part of that file's metadata.When the file is opened in Photoshop, the associated Action automatically appears in the Actions Panel and prompts the user to run it.This would be ideal for template files, mockups, and client deliverables where specific steps are always required upon opening.Benefits:Streamlines workflows by auto-loading necessary Actions.Reduces the need to manually export/import .atn files.Makes sharing template files with clients or teams more efficient.Enables version-controlled Actions directly inside the PSD.This would be a huge boost for automation and workflow efficiency.I would love to see this considered for a future update. Thank you!#Photoshop, #FeatureRequest, #Automation, #Actions, #Workflow

Currently, Photoshop batch processing overwrites files if a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder. This can cause data loss when processing large batches of images.In After Effects, when rendering, the program automatically adds suffixes such as _1, _2, etc., instead of overwriting existing files. This feature is very useful and prevents accidental overwrites.I suggest adding the same Incremental Save Naming option to Photoshop batch processing (Image Processor / Automate → Batch).For example:Overwrite existing filesSkip existing filesAppend suffix (_1, _2, _3, …)This would make Photoshop safer and more consistent with other Adobe applications.Thank you!

Please get this into the next update.... or is there a script out there available??

Hello Adobe Team and Community,I am writing to request the development and inclusion of a native symmetry brush tool within Photoshop for iPad. This is a standard feature in other leading digital art applications on the iPad (like Procreate, Affinity ) and is essential for illustrators, pattern designers, and artists who create mandalas, character designs, and balanced compositions. The current lack of this feature creates a significant workflow gap for artists who rely on iPad as their primary device. While the desktop version of Photoshop has powerful symmetry options, the iPad version does not, forcing users to seek workarounds or use other apps.This feature would bring Photoshop for iPad to parity with its competitors and would be a huge value-add for the creative community who are invested in the Adobe ecosystem. I found that Photoshop is great for drawing, and I hope i can feel that feature in ipad, while procreate limit my layers number, photoshop is not, and its alrea

Id like to see a feature that shows, at a quick glance, what an adjustment layer is doing in the layers panel. At the moment, you have to either rename the layer, or click and see what it does. For example, a hue sat layer could show  +m2, +b1, -y11 (+magenta 2,+blue 1, -yellow 11) below the filename(this would auto update).   This would improve navigating in the panel and finding the right adjustments layer quicker. It would also eliminate the need to rename many of the adjustments layers as this would be automatic.
