Feature Requests

I would like to be able to define the name of an artboard using a text variable. Currently you can only change the visibility of an artboard when defining variables. I create thousands of animated web banners in PS and the gifs have to be renamed manually. If the name of the artboard was variable, I could eliminate the very tedious step of renaming the files. 

I recently attempted to edit a photo of a wallet for an online sales thumbnail. The photo contains a tiny sliver of two US banknotes - you can't even see the numbers fully. Photoshop refuses to let me open the picture. Meanwhile, it lets me open two other, similar pictures with more of the banknotes showing. 1) The purpose for, and the way in which, I am using the pictures is acceptable under US currency laws. 2) The lack of consistancy and otherwise lack of given reason for why I cannot use one picture but can use the other two is very frustrating.3) How am I supposed to edit the picture to be "acceptable" if I can't use my photo editing software to do so??? 4) Obviously Photoshop is using some amount of AI to determine what looks enough like currency and what doesn't. Ok, fine. Use that to keep me from exporting the image, but really, let me open the image in the first place so I can fix any "problems" that the AI has. 5) "Work around" solutions sho

This request comes from a forum thread where i was asking question about the new video features in cs6 and how they can bw used for animation and storyboarding. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/978719 question number (1) At present when adding a new clip to the timeframe the default duration is set to 60 frames. It would be very helpful if that value could be set by the user. Currently if you want to animate you have to manually drag the duration of every layer by hand to a shorter value. Time consuming and rather annoying. I imagine the logical place to put something like this would be the timeline menu. It could be called "default layer duration" and could have the option of setting a time or number of frames. A bonus feature would be to have a check box for setting the duration to "auto duration". This would set the layer duration for an newly created layer to the same length as previous one. For example, if you create a new blank layer and drag is to 15 frames the next layer you crea

Photoshop needs to export to HEIF.  So does Lightroom.  Just reading HEIF files as input is not support.  Please rent a software engineer from Fuji, Sony, or Cannon.  They know how to create HEIF files.

Hi! I've been thinking this for quite a while, and I know most of the web designers out there have the same need... groupable, colorable, nameable guides.It's important to use guides. But sometimes it gets a little messy. What would be perfect is if guides had their own layer-style format. And each group, or layer, had an asigned color. You could turn on and off visibility of specific groups, or just turn them all off by hitting cmd + H, as we do today.This would make photoshop THE perfect software for web design.

Changing brush size on the fly is my (and many others) absolute most used process during a good work flow. The fact that the keybinds are different for that between Mac and windows is beyond me. Windows is easy, cntrl and right click/drag. But Mac.. for some God forsaken reason.. you had to throw in an additional key. The addition of a key (which mind you - will make you take your hand nearly completely off the keyboard to hit two keys at the very bottom left) for the same function is literally enough to make me buy a windows computer over a Mac because of how much it stumbles my work flow when switching between OS's. This has been an issue for years. Please make the Mac brush size hot key the same as windows so I don't go insane

Please fix the brush cursor. It is too thin to see on high res screens. Please provide an option to show it thicker. Same for the grid. Attached an image when the curor is hard to see and a close up of the same.It's worse when the cursor is smaller.Also an image wit the grid lines.

I recently discovered a new amazing feature in Photoshop --- only to find out it was intentionally removed from Photoshop (along with a bunch of other 3D features) likely because Adobe acquired Substance Painter. I simply don't understand -- why would you guys intentionally make Photoshop worse?   This is a very natural next step for Photoshop -- to have the ability to paint and draw in a more 3D dimenional environemnt. This is UNLIKE typical 3D programs because normally you're working with polygons, and geometry, but here you're just drawing in a 3D space in which you can move around the view of the camera to draw more and more.   Had I known this was a feature I'd have been using it long ago. Bow now this can't be done. Oddly, this can be done in Affinity photo. Umm.. guys? Do you even care about dropping the ball with Photoshop anymore?   The video I linked is literally not possible in Photoshop anyway thanks to sheer greed by Adobe (buy our other 3D software). Check

It would be useful if Photoshop was able to include separate guide layers ( and potentially be able to change the colour of the each guide (layer).There are frequently times when there are "master guides" in a document, but one wishes to quickly add extra guides for a specific area of the composition. Currently, these extra temporary guides must manually be dragged off the canvas after completing the sub-task, or a new document needs to be saved before starting to preserve the document with the master guides. 

I feel smart objects need a long overdue update. In my workflow, I love using smart objects. What's there not to like about them? But chances are the delivered assets have multiple blending styles. What I do often is assign the relative effect overlays as clipping masks and then turning that object into a smart object. Works like a charm, even if it's a bit of a nuisance.However there are some instances where that workflow just doesn't work, of you need to at least simplify the overlay specific elements. That's when we need like a smart object v2 that, even though it'd need to recalculate the values on every transform (like any smart filter), understands how to apply the blending modes inside that smart object to the resulting art it's on top of.I feel like that's one of those things that would certainly improve photoshop a lot. You have a graphic with a surrounding additive glow that needs to be that specific size no matter the scale? You no longer need to adapt every drop shadow to t

Dear photoshop humans or robots, So, I do a variety of different things on photoshop, but one is illustration, so I wanted to suggest a feature: Right now, smoothing is a line-weight stabilization feature, but it's dumb. I mean that in an illustration sense. It's hard to understand if you don't do inking. Inking line art is meant to describe or add line quality to light and dark areas (the line gets thinner when it touches a brighter area, and thicker when it touches a darker area). Can't you just press the stylus harder and lighter to do this? Yes and no. Yes you can, but the size is determined by a specific and arbitrary limit. So, what if it had no limit? What if you made the ability to adjust the brush size as you put a brush stroke on the canvas a simultanoues and independent process? As you move the brush across the canvas, the artist has the ability to enlarge or shrink the brush using a shortcut and their non-dominant hand. I'm not saying remove smoothing al

When you go to save a file, have the file format remain what it was for the last file saved.

Hello long time user here, I work in design for film and games. Here are some features/ technologies I'd love to see in photoshopDraftsmen tools1.) A perspective drawing feature is a popular request from colleagues I see, as well as my own. It's sort of an old thing most art programs have for a decade (including ipad app fresco) but it was would incredible to have in the desktop powerhouse of photoshop finaly.2.) Smart shapes. If you hold your stroke it creates a shape or a line like procreate, and fresco. 3D Drawing Tools I see adobe has pushed for 3D recently but I dont see a tool that allows you to draw in 3d. Photoshop did allow that to some degree but it was taken out. Why not bring it back but simplify it? Drawing in 3D is great, I'd love to see adobes take on a mental canvas simple sketch approach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dSmfZfmnsM AIThis is something photoshop is probbably already working on with their neural filters like changing a landscape to snow, b

Ich fände es sehr effizient, wenn ich die Zeit sehen könnte, die ich benötigt habe, um ein Dokument in Ps zu erstellen bzw. wie lange ich daran AKTIV gearbeitet habe. Beispielsweiße in den Meta-Daten oder in den allgemeinen Dokumenten-Informationen.  Warum? Ich bin Illustratorin und Zeit ist Geld. Aktuell schaue ich immer auf die Uhr, jedoch ist das oft ungenau, oder ich vergisse mal die Zeit zu notieren. Wenn sich eine digitale Illustration über Tage zieht, muss ich am Ende erstmal alle "Zeitschnipsel" zusammenrechnen. Wir Künstler verdienen unser Geld meist durch Kalkulation unserers Stundensatzes. Da wäre es essentiell, wenn wir genau wüssten, wie lange wir für eine digitale Illustration gebraucht haben. In anderen ähnlichen Zeichen-Programmen gibt es solch eine Funktion bereits - ist also nichts abwägiges!  VG

I realise that this is probably not something that many people would be interested in, but I often need to convert relatively small images to black & white halftone, using the Pixelate/Color Halftone filter, but the minimum dot size setting (4), is too big causing too much loss of detail. Having to enlarge the image using trial and error guess work before applying the filter is a painful experience. Please see the attached image, where the dot pattern is too course, thereby removing too much detail. It would be great if Photoshop would allow for smaller dot sizes than the current 4 setting in the filter.

With the advancement of cloud and VDI technologies it would be nice if Adobe started to support server infrastructure including testing enterprise GPU cards. I've read through https://helpx.adobe.com/in/enterprise/using/creative-cloud-deployment-on-vdi.html and have had tickets in the past where support has given best efforts but have been unable to get very far. We are hosting our own Citrix infrastructure but will soon be expanding into Azure. We have multiple issues with some Creative Cloud products that if fixed could greatly improve our users' experience. 

Add hand tool to change the view 

Please fix the Line Tool Arrowhead settings to be relative to line weight like legacy Photoshop versions.

When PS (or the PS Beta) is installed on a Windows 10 computer, the helper application Microsoft EdgeWebView2 is installed with it. I don't have access to a Windows 11 computer to see if this still is occuring. The application is being installed in the static directoryC:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\MicrosoftThis version of EdgeWebview is based on Chromium version 92.0.902.84. You can see this in the Property details of the msedge.dll and msedgewebview2.exe files.This version of Chromium is from around May 2021 and has known securty flaws. The current version of EdgeWebView is installed along with the MS edge appliation that is pushed as a component from the Microsoft Updates and is managed by Microsoft.It is located in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeWebView\Application\{insert current Cromium version number}The properties of the msedge.dll and the msedgewebview2.exe files show the version to be 105.0.1343.33 (as of September 12, 2022) If the PS d

I would like to see Adobe testing its sofware on hardware and making tiered suggestions based on performance on an annual basis. As software becomes more powerful the hardware needs to keeep up with it.I'd like to see suggestions in perhaps three categories low, mid and high budget improvements to overall performance. I really shouldn't have to run around the entire internet looking at obscure websites for hardware enthusiasts to determine what the best computer is to run Adobe software. Adobe software is an evolving creative tool. Part of that evolution places greater demands on the hardware. And this is an acceptable progress within reason of course.    

I am using Photoshop for web. I have few folders and many files. I can see all these files here- https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents   While I can download each file individually, I cannot download the entire folder. I need to download all files at one go and maintain a local backup. Ideally, take automated daily/ weekly backups.   Support chat did not help, so approaching Discussion.   Regards, Swapneel Shah

Please consider this:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/disable-quot-adjustment-layer-quot-auto-numbering/m-p/13190354#M670822 Add an option to the "Adjustment Layer Panel" to disable auto-numbering (disable adding a number at the end of the AL name).

When completing the Hands-On Tutorials, it woul;d be great if you could preview a completed version of the design you are creating so you can confirm you are on the right track.Some of instructions can be a little confusing but if there was a visual example of finished design I think that would help when the instructions aren't 100% clear.

Currently, Photoshop is the only software I know of that lets me change the BRUSH blending modes with hotkeys. Do not misinterpret this to be about LAYERS! Shift+Alt+<X> (where X is N, O, M, S, etc) work great. However, these hotkeys are undocumented and can only be found in a Google search. There is no possibility to change this inside of Photoshop -> Edit -> Change Keyboard Shortcuts. I strongly recommend that PS developers add editable shortcuts for this feature -- as well as introducing a "search" feature for keyboard shortcuts. Photoshop includes many hidden shortcuts, and this fact is certainly hurting adoption of your software based on my private chats elsewhere. Many digital painters don't even realize this can be done. More importantly, I found posts dating back to 8 years ago which asked Adobe to make these shortcuts editable. Let that sink in: a simple request was ignored for 8 years. As you can imagine, anyone who digital-paints and relies on brus
