Feature Requests

For years I have wished to be able to save the guides & grids settings into psd file.I work with different sized grids in different files, so I have to manually write down grid size and go to settings each time I switch files.Also the grid settings could be available in seaparate window always for quick edit. Going into preferences is pain. Grid size should be document based, not general photoshop settings.

Often times while working with generative fill, I encounter many generated examples that would fit my criteria, but the position or direction is completely wrong. The problem I see the most is that objects or scenery is rightfully interpreted (form, color, purpose) but in what direction its looking is completely wrong or my initial coordination filled in is incorporated inside the object and not the coordination I planned it out for. I believe an extra text box for directions or rotation could be very useful.

Hello Everybody,I would like the option for the Generated Fill item to NOT include merging the existing background.   For example, today I entered in the Generate prompt to give me a tree in between two houses.   I wanted to be able to fine-tune the tree so I can move it around the yard so that I can place it exactly where I want it to be.  However, the generated tree incorporates some of the background of the house, such as a window.  So I can't move the tree around -- even a little bit. I suggest in the Single Adjustment panel, there can be an option to turn off incorporating the background in the generated image.Thank you!Rowby

PS - Page d'accueil, affichage des vignettes des images LigthroomIl serait interressant que nous puissions distinguer sur les vignettes des photos présentes dans Lightroom, s'il s'agit d'images au format original (importées directements dans LR ou d'apperçus dynamique donc de moindre taille provenant de la synchronisation de collections LrC.En effet, les apperçus dynamique ne permettent la même expériance d'édition dans PS qu'un original.Je propose d'ajouter un effet différent à ces deux types de vignettes, par exemple la taille en pixel en bas de la vignette. Ici, comme c'est aujourd'hui, on ne peut pas distinguer les originaux des apperçus dynamiques.Merci de mettre ça à l'ordre du jour.

Often I'm working on screenshots for documentation, where you need to go back and forth from the application to photoshop, and update small sections – especially where you have made a mistake, or such like. What would be really useful would be to be able to just paste, and have the pasted content automatically paste into the right place, without having to manually nudge, change the opacity to and from, etc, etc. If the content looks similar, or looks like it could be a portion of the whole, just place it in the right place. Maybe it would be called "Smart Paste" or something. Thanks!

I'd like to see the Contextual Task Bar be pinned, but also move to the location of the selection when using the generative fill feature. Once the selection has been filled, the bar should return to where the user originally pinned it.

Re: changes to the Gradient tool.Please! You took a tool I use constantly, daily, and made it frustrating and annoying.  Make the new circle overlay go away. It makes it harder, not easier, to visualize what I'm doing. It's really in the way. If you must have it, simply provide a box to uncheck so I can hide it as a default setting for the tool.  I could already make a separate gradient layer via the adjustment layers, but in most cases I DO NOT want a separate layer, I want to use the gradient to draw directly on a layer mask, or in my case, on a special non-destructive dodge and burn layer (a layer filled with 50% gray, set to soft light blending mode) The Beta insists even in 'Classic' mode, on making a new layer. Extremely frustrating. Again, if you think this is something users will like, at least give us a choice and allow us to set with or without a new layer as a default tool preference. 

I’m adding this as an “idea” conversation because I’m sure adding it as a “bug” would be useless. And I honestly don’t remember how long this has been going on. So let’s call this an “idea” to make Photoshop behave correctly. If one drags out a guide, at any scale, it displays its position down to the tenth of a pixel. But... There’s no such thing as any fraction of a pixel! PERIOD! So this is a suggestion to stop that from happening. Why is this valuable to me? 1) My sanity. 2) Try teaching students that a pixel is the smallest part of a raster image and then pulling out a guide on a 72" screen, where the decimal guide position is clearly visible. BTW: yes, I know that I can hold down shift and “snap” to whole pixel measurements. But I shouldn’t have to do that — if someone thinks they have a use for a decimal pixel guide, THEY should have to hold down shift, while the rest of us live in the real world where a pixel is defined as the smallest part of a raster image

Would be great to be able to add gradients to BG of artboard, and also an image or other PSD/AI file, added to the current selections.

I spent 30 minutes in the latest update discovering how to change the default text/paragraph direction from right-to-left over to left-to-right. It's great Adobe streamlined how language is rendered to the Unified Text Engine.It's not intuitive to discover this as part of "Presentation" under UI language within the Interface options. I guess I understand how the two are linked as de facto defaults, but why exactly? If it's all the same, just let Type and/or the Paragraph panel be the way to set the default regardless, like how most of the other panel settings are; it's more visible to just see which LTR/RTL is selected, and select the one you need, and you're done. No more fidgeting around w English/English w Arabic enabled, restarting the app, etc etc etc. Just see it, set it, forget it. And when needed it, change it by "click", and continue. The button's already there.

Quando dou duplo clique em cima da texto nao dá opção de digitar. Isso atrapalha muito o fluxo do trabalho

It would be great to be able to scale the Add Noise filter in Photoshop! Grain and Texturizer don't quite do the same thing, and the roundabout way of adding noise to a grey layer, scaling duplicating using multiply / screen settings - is obviously a real pain. It seems like such a simple but critical function for high-end retouchers.

Please allow the option to show Rulers on all sides of documents.

waiting for generative fill to finish can be either boring and some editors might works on multiple devices/softwares while waiting generative fill to finish, what if we add sound when Generative Fill done processing? 

I am a creative photographer and I use Lightroom Classic and Photoshop (and Camera Raw) extensively in my workflow. They are, I believe, the best programs in their class and I cannot imagine functioning without them. I am, however, frustrated by inconsistencies in their interfaces. In Lightroom, for example, you adjust contrast by placing the cursor on the slider and then using arrow keys to increase or decrease contrast 5 values at a time (or 20 if you hold the Tab key). In Photoshop, however, adjustments are made by putting the cursor on the adjustment name, and then using arrow keys to increase or decrease contrast by 1 value at a time (or 10 if you hold the Tab key). I find the disconnect maddening.I am frustrated as well by functional differences between Lightroom and Photoshop. Recent releases of Lightroom have seen dramatic improvements its interface and functionality, especially selection and masking, content-aware remove, color grading, tone curve, and the color panel. Increas

Problem: Currently, if you have a shape positioned at X: 100px, and apply 1px center stroke, since photoshop can't actually create half pixels on either side, so it ends up creating a mathematical hack job by creating a 2px wide stroke and compensating for this by giving it a transparent fill, so that "mathematically" you end up with a "1px stroke" in terms of fill values or weight, but a visually blurred shape edge. The same thing happens to edges of shapes if you position them off whole-numbers Solution/idea: Short answer, allow photoshop to create half pixels. Long answer, can't photoshop use some math to properly address this and apply an actual 1px stroke? I think technically this would mean photoshop has to introduce the ability to split pixels from whole numbers into decimal points 0.1 to 0.9. But just to be clear, I'm not saying we need the ability of a 1.5px stroke, whole number strokes are fine, the problem is how strokes are rendered and shape edges are rendered de

Current Setup: Overscrolling is currently a setting located in Preferences > Tools. It only works when in Standard Screen Mode and Zoomed to Fit on Screen. Problem: Turning off Overscrolling only works when in "Standard Screen Mode" (View > Screen Mode > Standard Screen Mode) and the window zoom is set to fit on screen. If zoomed in even slightly, or when in other screen modes, Overscrolling occurs despite toggling it off in the settings.  Why would this be helpful:Example 1 - When using a projector to project an image that is open in Photoshop, it is best seen in Full Screen Mode with no interface or UI visible. If you project an image onto an irregular shape by transforming and distorting an image to fit the irregular shape, Overscrolling makes this task nearly impossible. Currently it is possible to transform an image to the document bounds with Overscrolling disabled while in Standard Screen Mode, but there is no method for hiding the UI. Example 2 - Wh

Simply separate the language selection into UI language and Layer Language. Layer Language will affect the default names of layers like "Background", "Layer 1", "Group 1", "Curves 1", etc. This would make it possible to use actions made for foreign languages without affecting the language of your entire photoshop UI. I cannot explain the pain of using photoshop with a language you don't speak.  And before anyone tells me to "download better actions", because actions should raname their layers as they create them or use relative layer selection, let me explain my situation: Me and my colleagues work with foreign clients, who supply their own actions that fit their demands. These actions are made in italian photoshop and therefore assume italian layer names, and break on any other language. We could fix a few actions, but as we have dozens of projects with multiple action files containing hundreds of individual actions each, it is just not feasible, especially since the cl

Two things bug me about the 'recent' opening screen.  Sometime I edit something personal on my work PC and don't want it showing up whenever I open up Photoshop. I can't remove just 1 item from recents (apart from renaming the file and clicking it in recents). I would love to have a little X at the top right of every thumbnail which removes and item from recent files.There are files I have to use on a regular basis but not enough to stay in recents. I would love to have a little heart- or pin-icon on the top left of every thumbnail which keeps files on the top of the recent-list. A quick example to get the impression:

I've created 14 custom brushes for spider hairs. The ideal size for these brushes on the section I'm filling in right now is 175px. (but it will change as I go). Every time I use "<" or ">" to cycle to a new spider hair brush, it defaults back to the 1935 px size, and I have to manually shrink it back down to 175. I want the ability to lock the size of the brushes/brush set like we already have on other setting types in the brush settings window. This way it will vary the size, according to my size jitter % setting, using 175 px as its base, as I cycle through my 14 custom brushes. (visual reinforcement below) 

After selecting the person , I want to select all but clothes. Now I need to check all boxes leaving clothes. There should be option to to ommit clothes only or clothes and hair etc. This will save lot of time where we have want to enhance wanted segments

Hi Adobe Team. You guys been spending a lot of time working on features and bug fixes ahead of the new Photoshop 2024, and I appreciate how busy you've been.Btw, I would like to request one more feature. I would like to be able to drag an entire folder to open all the images in it.Especially if have subfolders, will want to include them as well.Currently, if you have a single folder, you can just drag all of its images in, but if you have multiple folders (or multiple subfolders), you'll have to go into each folder and load all of the images. Something like this Main FolderSub1    Sub2   Sub3Sub1_1 Sub2_1  Sub3_1 ......Sub1_2 Sub2-2 This would be handy for opening dozens or hundreds of images at once. Currently, I have to go into each folder and open each image. =(

The Adobe Photoshop Express app has a feature under Looks called Splash. This allows you to desaturate an entire image except for a certain colour range. It has options to leave in colours such orange, blue, green, aqua, red, RGB, yellow, purple and magenta. To achieve the same results in the desktop versions of Photoshop appears to be a much more convoluted process. This is an example of yet another very useful app version feature being omitted from the desktop application itself!

Hey there! As a designer, I often create 5 different banner sizes for each advertiser, starting with the largest size (300x250). However, this can take up quite a bit of time. I was thinking about how we could make things more efficient and came up with an idea for a 'Master AI Artboard' for the 300x250 size. This would automatically generate the other sizes based on this design, saving me valuable time. I could then easily tweak any elements that don't look quite right. It would be amazing if I could see all five sizes in real-time, with each artboard referencing the 'Master AI' 300x250 design. This would help me create multiple dimensions more quickly, while also ensuring that the design elements are consistent across all banners. What do you think?

In ACR (from Bridge), when I use the brush to make brush selections I can change the brush size while I'm using it with the left and right square brackets []. When I get to Photoshop I miss this ability, I mis it most with the remove tool, but with the brush too.Great work, love these productsDamian
