Feature Requests

Hey,  the files won´t get smaler in future. Its so anoying to save for saveral minutes only to be told: " Hey we did not expect this panorama to be that big. Pls take more time and save again as .psb" Can we pls fix this?  Maybe we can make a PS bubble for older files from 1992-2021 and a fresh ps developer team can think and work on a new version of ps that does not have to support files 30 years old.  Avid MC had the same problem and is nearly as old.  Who is joining in ?  Peter 

I do a lot of image restoration with a Clone Stamp tool. Using another file as a source for cloning. A very important feature is the ability to clone from a source using a "zero" offset.I have been searching for this without any luck. Is there a simple solution to reset transform (position, scale) values to "0" in the Clone Stamp tool? (A)You can do it with rotation values. (B)  Currently, to reset transform I activate one of the offset boxes (being careful not to move the cursor over the image), select the 0 value and press enter. Not very handy at all. If I have missed something, please enlighten me. If reset functionality does not exist, please make a button for it.

I've been working in Clip Studio Paint for some time. To select a whole group in there you just press Ctrl and click on the group folder. Couldn't be more simple. If you have a groups within a group, within a group, that just saves huge amount of time.  I don't know how Photoshop users haven't asked for this feature yet, so I guess I'll start. Please incorporate Ctrl + click for creating a selectin of a whole group (whole folder) of layers. 

Add a feature, that I could select many layers or all of them and rename all of them by one cluck from one to ... last number. In case I had 100 layers, then I deleted 40 of them, in random order, and do nat have something like 5..38...67 I could select them and PS rename it 1,2,3,4,5 again. + Add more colors dor layer marks. 

I'm a huge fan of the cyan guidelines in Adobe programs (the ones you get by clicking and dragging from the ruler). I also love being able to move/nudge them with my arrow keys on my keyboard in Illustrator and InDesign. This feature should be included with Photoshop as well. Since these programs are all designed to work together, it seems silly that such a simple yet helpful feature isn't included in all Adobe programs. Please give us this option!

This is a simple one. Make the function "Clear Smart Filters" work with multiple layers selected. Similar to how "Clear Layer Style" works on multiple layers.

When I select a layer from one of the filter options (Name, Kind etc.) and then go back to the main tree, the layer can't be seen, when it's in a closed layer group. This makes navigating layers a bit hard cause you never know where in the layer tree you are right now.Can you please add the option that when a layer is selected, the parent layer groups are expanded so we can actually see that layer?Cheers.

Hello, Tethering to IPad would be a very good update.At the moment it's possible to connect the camera via cable and import pictures from camera.If you're not closing the import field every new picture is visible and automatically updated.so far so good  now it would be important to choose fullscreen view !!the big grid is still to smallthis would be an awesome update and a big feature until the final tethering feature on ipad is ready like it is with Capture One. best regardsPhil Sanden

Add color marks for brushes same as for layers, for example if I want mark some of my brashes red, some green etc. To be able better and faster find specific brushes what I need in a brash pallet, but right clock. Thanks. 

Is there a way we can get those two improvements for Smart Objects - I'm watiting for those for many years.*) Being able to preseve layer styles from inside the Smart Object. Now everything is converted to "Normal".*) Being able to define the sharpening method for Smart Objects individually. They bother me all the time, especiall the first one.

PhotoShop should have an overflow text indicator, like Illustrator & InDesign (when using a bounded text box). I understand that PhotoShop is not necessarily a page layout program, but many times it's easier to build out everything there vs importing into another app. Seems like this would be a simple feature to add to the default setup.Illustrator - Overflow Text Indicator: PhotoShop - NO Overflow Text Indicator: 

I'd love to be able to place 1 photo above/across 2 artboards so I don't have to create the same layer on each artboard and line them up. Is there already a way to do this or would anyone else appreciate this functionality?

HEllo Please Add Photo Merge to PAno or Stitch Photo to PS or LR MobileI use Ipad PRO in terrain and mobile verision App have not stich 🙂

I understand from a very reliable source that CS6 and Lightroom 4 will be the last photoshop software that will be available to actually purchase and own. In other words...You will not be able to purchase the software either on a disc or download that is yours to use indefinitely once you purchase the product. It will only be available via the cloud and everyone will be required to pay monthly license fee to use the product. This will allow all upgrades as long as you pay the fee...but if you cease to pay the fee, the software will be deactivated. If this is the case...and I believe it is...THIS SUCKS! I have been Adobe user since I purchase the CS2 Creative Suite and used lightroom since it's inception. I have not purchase every upgrade, but have done so when I felt the changes warranted an upgrade. If Adobe insists on this business model, I will probably use one of the other photo editing product available on the market. There are several that will do most everything Adobe's software

Need to connect scratch disk to my ExFAT ssd disk 🙂 Thank you 🙂

As an artist with traditional background that loves doing digital art I think it would be really useful and would get a lot of new artist atention into Photoshop. The idea I want to propose is a brush randomizer that goes trough an array(in terms of software development) with various different brushes from one stroke to the next one. It would be really helpful becouse the traditional "randomness" is close but lacks a bit of random interferences in the perfection of digital art. For example a scattered brush would be set randomly by the script or custom brush with these features and the next stroke would be a more hard brush without the artist being able to predict or have to change to another brush to create the traditional feel of not 100% control.Hope it can ve viable to develop, I think it would be an interesting and useful feature that not only photoshop but other painting softwares are lacking it.Thanks for reading! If more detail is needed I can help or try to explain better.&nbs

Layer styles are useful because of their parametric and their non-destructive natures. Smart Filters are useful, but require the creation of a smart object beforehand. I'd like to suggest new layer styles, of commonly used effects, that would help to automate time-consuming tasks.   Cast Shadow would simulate the shadow casted by a light placed in front or behind the object/layer. It would use most of the controls found on the proposed Mirror layer style (point of origin, distance, angle, blurring, fade, shrinking, enlarging...)   I hope that other users will chime in with proposed refinements, or create other threads with additional (useful and feasible) layer styles they'd like to see.

This is a great feature, but unfortunately it works only with rasterized layers.For a non-destructive workflow it should either work with Smart objects or convert its output to a Curves adjustment layer. Since any color correction can be done with the Curves, I'm pretty sure it's possible 🙂

As a UI designer I toggle the Snap to pixelgrid option on and off many times per day. This feature requires a easy override shortcut instead of being hidden in preferences. Maybe by adding ctrl to the move shortcuts for example?

Hey,  I am frusstrated, when i copy keyword, then many of them have no comma or semicolon. It would be helpfull if we would have the option that photoshop sees those strings (space, #, or other) and turns them into a comma or semicolon. That would make the keywording so much easier.  The best thing of all would be if we could use the keyword AI from Adobe Stock !  Or does anybody know a good Ai that I can use?  I am so tiered ... and my typo is so bad ....  thanxs Peter 

A duplicate feature would be very useful in my industry where we mostly use photoshop to draw production ready artwork. Similar to Symmetry but instead of mirroring across guides, it duplicates what you're drawing along each guide. User placed x/y guides that can snap to grid/guide lines at any angle without limit (or at least with a high limit) would make certain tedious tasks very efficient. ie. A lot of production work in textiles require repeating artwork from one position to another position that's a specific distance away (the repeat size). If I'm doing this in Illustrator then it's fairly easy because I can just create symbols and in-line edit them right on the canvas. Photoshop's Smart Objects aren't as slick and require I open another canvas to edit them, make it harder to do when I have multiple references and having to match the smart objects near the repeat mark. So I end up having to copy the artwork over to the repeat edge along the guidelines over and over, tak

For youtube shorts tutorials, a mode should come to photoshop, a setting with automatic 9:16

When will Adobe support the new Sony a7r 5  Nina 

Please, allow  sbsars import as custom  adjustment layers and custom filters  with access to any specific  inputs.   The way we could use Substance Designer as a node based Photoshop extention.  Like we can with Painter.   The current sbsar support is just for  check in report . Totally useless.

In Photoshop CC, I think there should be a way to choose the interpolation method (Bicubic/Bilinear/etc) for Smart Objects. When transforming a Smart Object, the Interpolation dropdown that's there for other raster transforms should be in that Options bar. Smart Objects are far less useful when I don't have control of this interpolation, and I find myself avoiding Smart Objects because of this issue. I find that my smart objects look overly sharpened when I downscale them.
