Feature Requests

So when I relink a smart object having  layercomps A and B    inside    to another psd file also having layercomps A and B  Photoshop would recognize  same layercomps inside new file and  makes  them shown  in mastr/host psd file .  For some uncertain reason  it works only if I  "save as"  the initial  smart object content to a copy file .   But doesn't work at all If I have unrelated  document I want to re-link to.   

My situation:I have a texture folder (pass through) with three layers (one multiply, two normal).This texture folder is rather large (170 mb, 4k file), and I'm using it in many files, so I want to use a linked smart object, so I can reuse the same psd everywhere, and save space (and sanity during editing). Problem: once I transform my folder into a smart object the pass through / multiply are gone, and my combined images doesn't look good. If I could use a pass through blending mode on my smart objects, I think I wouldn't have this problem. This feature request was also mentioned here in 2018, and the same example image applies. We can't see the building through the blue smart object, because pass-through is unavailable: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/smart-objects-need-to-retain-blend-mode-or-warping-multiple-layers/td-p/10050206

I create book covers. My process is to put the text all into one folder group. When it's time to generate title plates, I simply right click on the group (which is already named appropriately) and save it out /export as a jpg and as a png. I also wish we could export from here to TIFF, but that's never been an option that I've seen. But with this newest update, I had to go in and turn on legacy export to keep this option. I hope this doesn't mean that feature is going away. If it is on the chopping block, please reconsider.

Search bar addition is a wonderful feature, but sometimes it messes up organization by closing/opening a lot of folders   It would be great if folder structure would be preserved once search is closed or cancelled. here are some examples of what I mean

I use layer comps and Artboards a LOT. The company I work for request multiple sizes of Social Posts for various platforms, and I usually create 3 or 4 variations for use at each size. This allows me to template a single file, change some text and a key image or two and i'm ready to go.  The multiple sizes are created using Artboards, and the variations use LayerComps, but I can only export either LayerComps, or ArtBoards. I end up having to export Artboards and repeat the process for each LayerComp. I have had up to as many as 16 LayerComps for variations in messaging and imagery, with ArtBoards off and on, depending on which messaging will be going on which Social Media platform.  I'd love to be able to Export LayerComps with a "Use Artboards" checkbox that would then export each ArtBoard for each set of LayerComps, all at once. I'd be extremely happy to learn I can do this already and I just haven't figured it out yet, but otherwise i'd love to see this feature a

Background   When the Move tool was introduced back in Photoshop 3.0, it used the now familiar "arrow up and down and arrow left and right" icon in the Toolbar. In the next version, Photoshop 4.0, the Toolbar icon was changed so it became a hybrid of the previous icon and the cursor arrow. This didn't change for many versions of Photoshop until the CC 2015 release, when it reverted back to its original "arrow up and down and arrow left and right" icon in the Toolbar, keeping the hybrid version for the cursor when the Move tool is active.   Currently   The Photoshop on the web (beta) uses the Select icon from Adobe's Spectrum design system for the Move tool:                   Issues   Spectrum has been designed to provide consistency across all platforms. By using the Select icon instead of the Move icon, it introduces inconsistency between the desktop and web versions of Photoshop. Many Photoshop on the web users a

I would like to suggest that Adobe add Focus points to Photoshop. Is it will be a useful tool to see which focus point has fixed your focal length for the image. Also another improvement would be to extend the camera raw database to include Samsung mobile phones like the S7 Edge, the S20 and the S21. Also the wide variety of Panasonic Lumix cameras.

 When I have selected a layer in Photoshop I want a command to: Edit (that layer alone) in Lightroom. Bengt Nyman

So this is idea..I know you can edit text via smart objects, but here is the problem you shuld solveFor exaple, when i use artboards for differents size banners and put same text (smart objects) on all of them we have one but Big problem. If you scale down smart object, and that smart object is a text, pixsels do not aligne corectly for small sizes. I whuld love if you chuld add some sort of Special Text-smart object with options for text pixel alignment in photoshop when we scale down that smart object. * There is screenshot in attachment for better understand..  

Please add a shortcut to hide the brush tip or mouse cursor. Nowadays most people use a pen tablet for  and seeing the brush tip is detrimental for the work. Please do that on the web and on the computer app.  Thank you, Andrea. 

I found out that when not zoomed in (i.e. working with an image full schreen) in 16 bits mode, the image that you see is calculated in 8 bits mode (to sav processor loading).This means that what you see is not nesessarily the correct image.(see the follwing discussion for an expanation and example)https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/what-you-see-is-not-what-you-get-image-on-screen-is-not-correct-when-working-in-16-bits-image-mode/m-p/12501259#M595871It would be great to have the option in settings to force Photoshop to always show the 16 bit image even when zoomed out. It is then up to the user to judge if he wants to opt in and risk a slower response. 

Feature request from my earlier post, where I was looking for a way to reduce file size on large print-resolution files which only contain shape layers, smart object JPGs, text, and filters. When saving a PSD, Photoshop includes rasterized copies of all layers, which makes opening files faster because it doesn't need to recalculate the pixels, but it greatly increases the PSD file size in cases where the content isn't already bitmap data. This can bloat some PSDs up to 100x the size, making them difficult to share or store (eg with Github's 100mb limit or StickerMule's 50mb limit). Photoshop already offers an option to disable maximizing PSD compatibility, I assume for the purpose of saving disk space. Could we also get an option to not include rasterized copies of every layer (and take a few extra seconds to recreate these when the file opens)? For those who use smart objects or shape layers, it could save 50-200mb on even the simplest print-resolution PSD files.&n

I use the pencil tool often for pixel art, and I have found it missing from Photoshop Online (photoshop.adobe.com). May you please add it?   Thanks 🙂

A locked layer is not really locked, when using alt+select+drag it duplicates the layer. It is very annoying, you can't a simply lock a layer and duplicate other layers by als+dragging if a locked layer is above the layer you want to select. A more logical approach would be the After Effects way of locking a layer, there it is actually locked This bug has been reported many times already and Adobe is probably never going to listen, but who knows, maybe this extra mention might help... Adobe Photoshop Version: 23.4.1 20220615.r.547

As per the discussion that's been happening in this thread:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/p-export-as-8-bit-png-issue/idc-p/13002438/load-autosave/true/page/3#form_c36e47d7456db4PNG-8 exporting in Photoshop used to produce a smaller file sized image with alpha transparency. With one of the past few Photoshop updates, this option was changed to no longer support alpha transparency, as appearently this was a bug and the files were not saving as intended. However the ability to export a smaller PNG file with semi-transparency is pretty much vital to web design these days, as webpages become more dynamic and responsive, so the change to this function is disruptive to other people's and my own workflow. In my world I don't specifically need an Indexed PNG, just a PNG with a smaller file size and semi-transparency. If I wanted an Index image with no alpha transparency, I would just export a GIF, making the corrected version of the PNG-8 option pretty redund

como vocês estão fazendo um photoshop web gratis, para principalmente ajudar a quem não pode pagar pelo photoshop, minha sugestão é fazer isso também para a versão desktop,não precisa er as versões mais recentes, serve as versões antias(só não vale fazer que nem vocês fizeram na versão cs2 ok?)

This is something for which I have longed for years... please enable a toggle on/off option to name layers based on the blend mode chosen. Currently, the name of a newly created layer defaults to "layer #", but with this suggested change it would default to "normal mode #", and it would then rename automatically (if enabled) to whatever layer mode it is changed to. For example: if the layer is changed to multiply mode its layer name would automatically change to "multiply#". And also, if enabled, would be to give the layer a unique layer color associated with that mode ( e.g. dissolve is gray, multiply is dark blue, color burn is cyan, ...  overlay is yellow, etc.). Of course, this automatic naming and coloring of layers would be an option that could be disabled, and overwritten by the user. This would be very helpful when quickly interpreting the complex layer stacks that often arise in Photoshop, and especially when merging layers. I have at times accidentally merged layers of v

Hello, I want to install the plugin to view image files with FIT extension in photoshop but I don't know how to do it.unfortunately, Photoshop does not have by default the ability to read fit files, which is the format obtained from astronomical cameras.Sincerely 

Currently Photoshop on the Web (Beta) sees the debut of the Transform tool. This new Transform tool has been given an icon in the Toolbar that looks like this:           Issues   The icon that has been chosen for the toolbar is actually the icon for the Distort operation:         Normally, the icon used to represent the tool would be the most common, and probably the first, default operation. In this case, it would be the Free transform operation:             Unfortunately, the icon for the Free transform operation is not dissimilar to the icon used to represent Shape Layers in the desktop version of Photoshop. This may give new users the impression that the icon is for a vector-based shape tool.   Proposal The desktop version of Photoshop already has an icon for the Transform operation, which lives in the Options bar rather than the Toolbar, but could be reused as the icon for the new Transform

Would be great to have an option not to select adjustment layers when using autoselect tool. 

Hi, This is my first post here and I 'd like to share some ideas about future photoshop improvements. I'm aware of worarrounds and using them on almost daily basis, but the following features in Photoshop would improve my (and probably community) process. So:1. Add function to sync photoshop settings (workspaces, pre-sets, preferencies, etc) with Creative Cloud and to restore them if required. This would be very useful for changing computers/users and creative one single consistent profile for working group.2. Add function to save layers and layer groups into library. This is very useful for repeaded layers/groups.  Kind regards,Maxim P.S. not sure if that is relevant but I'm using windows 10/11 computers for photosoph works. 

Current export options for "artboards to files" are very limited, yet it's one of the most used export tools when I handle large volumes of production (which is daily). I would love to be able to export artboards in psb format and have export options similar to legacy's "save for web".   The current 2GB limit on exporting artboards to PSD is hindering my workflow.  Most of the artwork and sizes for production are getting larger and larger, especially true for streaming platforms since their specs for art get improved fairly often. The majority of the clients require a working file for each single size vs delivering a template with all artboards included.     

I really enjoy the little videos that play when you hover your cursor over the tool icons in the toolbar (otherwise known as "rich tooltips"), but I feel very sorry for the Sponge tool as it doesn't appear to have one!   I realize that the desktop version of Photoshop doesn't have a rich tooltip for quite a few tools, but in the case of Photoshop on the web, this is the only tool not to have a rich tooltip, so it looks kind of clunky not to have one.   Many of the rich tooltips for Photoshop for the web come straight from the desktop version, but I've noticed that a few new ones have been specially created such as those for the Place tool and the Transform tool, so maybe the same team behind those could rustle up a new rich tooltip for the Sponge tool too.   Many thanks!   Phil

I want to create a shape that automatically synchronizes the size according to the length of the text. It's already a feature that Premiere Pro often uses when creating subtitles. How can I use the same functionality in Photoshop?
