Save as PDF with the added option to add Printer Marks and Bleeds to the output file.It is a feature which is available in Illustrator but one you can't do in Photoshop.Surely a quick transfer across that many people would love to see.

Why are they acting unwisely?

While I think those people may be acting unwisely their number surely can have influence on Adobe’s development decisions regarding Photoshop.

Surely there are tons of designers who are doing their artwork in Photoshop though, and this little addition would make it so much easier to get it finished and off to print quicker.

»Surely a quick transfer across«
Illustrator and Photoshop are very different programs.

I suppose it should be possible to add document properties for Trim Box and Bleed Box for some of the file formats or store them in the metadata and redo the pdf creation, but I doubt this is that simple a task and as Photoshop hardly is a page layout application I wonder how worthwhile it would be for Adobe to invest the resources.
