Workspace Feature: I would like for the tools in the toolbar to also be apart of how I customize my workspace. I would like the option of disabling certain tools from the toolbar. As a result, whenever I choose my preferred workspace, I use the tools specifically for the project at hand.
Thank You

Or can there be an option where the tools in the toolbar can be removable.

This feature has been added in the Photoshop CC 2015.1 update that was released today. More details on the feature here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/usi...

Custom toolbar :-)
Although shortcuts and actions speed up my daily workflow there is one thing
i wish for. When editing about a 100 images/day speed is important.

A slim toolbar were the user can decide on the specific functions.
By clicking a + sign on the scrolldownmenus function it will appear on the custom tollbar. When editing huge amount of images this small function would reduce several clicks and speed up the workflow. Perhaps about 10 possible functions on the toolbar would be great.

Best wishes!

Well, it would appear that this is now public knowledge.  Interesting...

Yes, we did a lot of work along these lines and we it does give you control of what's in a given slot as well as what shortcut is associated with it.  Hope you like it!  8-)

Thanks,
David

Perhaps just in time if you're suggesting that a customizable tool palette is going to made available.

I was on the brink of looking into alternative software since Configurator won't work with recent versions of PS.

Here's hoping.

Been using PhotoShop for years and this is my first post.

I have two suggestions that I think would enhance the PhotoShop experience . . .

1 The ability to create your own palette of tools that one uses frequently, and not have to make three clicks to get to a tool.

2 Give Content Aware Fill it's own lasso. Often I use this tool with a 33% feathering attribute when selecting part of an image, but I have to change it to zero when switching to Content Aware Fill use.

Many thanks.

I would like a way to create my own tool bar with frequently used tools. Instead of having to manually select between multiple instances of a tool (the eraser for example) or using Shift-E, I would like a way to select the one I use always and use ONLY that one.
Also to rearrange the tools in the order desired.

Photoshop has a lot of tools, and depending on the work you're doing, having all of them present isn't necessary. Additionally a lot of the tools are hidden beneath each other which requires an extra click to access them.

Adobe Illustrator introduced custom toolbars to help with this. The tool panels there can also be assigned to different work spaces. I would love to see this feature added to Photoshop.

I know there's the Adobe Configurator but this would be a much faster and user friendly way of allowing people to customize their UI. The custom tool panels in Adobe Illustrator also still show the colors. Is that possible in the Configurator?
