WHAT'S THE POINT OF THAT??!?!?!? YOU'RE RUINING THE ENTIRE WORKFLOW WITH THIS!!! BRING BACK SCROLLING IN BLENDING MODE, AND I WANT THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST TO STAY EXACTLY THE WAY THEY WERE BEFORE!!!! NO ONE NEEDS THE CHANGES YOU KEEP MAKING HERE!!!

We have keyboard customizability; you have the “hide all your toolbars” button, in what I must assume is a prank, on an unmodified key that is possibly the second easiest key to hit on the keyboard after the space bar. Why on earth can I not remap that to something completely out of the way so as to not whammy myself with frustration. 

I’d like to suggest the following features, which would greatly speed up some workflows out here.Starting with:Custom Shape Tool: Currently when we are saving a complex shape with more than one element, let’s say a shape made from a text layer with 2 characters or more, later on if we use the Custom Shape Tool to place that custom shape, you can no longer edit it’s elements (the letters in that case) individually with the Direction selection tool. It would be insanely useful to keep each element individually editable, meaning you can choose to warp, free transform, skew etc just the element that you want. A current workaround for that is saving the shape layer in the Libraries, it stays editable that way. Masking Effects: I know we already something for this, but what I meant for that, is some kind of mask that only affects the Layer Styles, so we wouldn’t need to go the destructive way and use Create Layer, or the longer workaround duplicating layers and such. Better Layer Styles: I

Please consider adding native JPEG XL (.jxl) export functionality to Photoshop on the web. While Adobe introduced support for importing and exporting JPEG XL in Photoshop Desktop, the browser-based application currently lacks this export capability. Introducing this feature to the web version would resolve a notable capability gap between desktop and browser-based workflows.Key Rationale and Workflow Benefits:- Cross-Platform Feature Parity: Creative workflows increasingly transition between desktop environments and browser-based editing on secondary workstations and remote setups. The inability to export JXL files directly from Photoshop on the web interrupts this pipeline.- Superior Compression Efficiency: JPEG XL delivers superior compression ratios compared to legacy JPEG and alternative modern image formats while preserving fine detail, sharp edges, and complex textures without objectionable compression artifacts.- Advanced Color and HDR Fidelity: As web standards increasingly emb

A dedicated community for Photoshop on the Web is highly necessary due to the fundamental differences between the web and desktop versions. Web-based users require troubleshooting for browser-specific issues, including browser performance, WebGL support, hardware acceleration, and cloud syncing. In contrast, desktop users face operating system configurations and hardware-level issues. Furthermore, Photoshop on the Web has a divergent feature set and tailored user workflows. Creating a separate community will drastically reduce clutter and confusion for users seeking targeted assistance.

when using object transform to stretch, sheet, or skew a layer, the axis of refrence for the transform control box is locked in on the X/Y axis. now if you rotate the object, the axis of the transform control box will rotate with the object, but only until you confim the transform at which point it resets. This means that if you rotate a perfect square to be sitting at 45 degree angle, you can stretch it on a 45 degree axis into a perfect rectangle on a 45 degrees if its donew in only one transform. The issue is that after you confirm the transform, or if you have an object already at an angle you want to stretch on an angle, there is no simple built in way to rotate the angle of the transform box to match the angle of the layer/selection being transformed. This functionality is a basic necessity in all 3D modeling apps so I'm pretty surprised it hasnt been added to photoshop in the 15 years ive been using it. Before people start suggesting to just use smart shapes or some smart object

Description of Feature:Add native drag-and-drop capability within the "Your files" dashboard, allowing users to drag file cards or list rows directly onto the "Deleted" trash can icon located in the left navigation sidebar to remove files.Current Behavior:Deleting a cloud document currently requires clicking the three-dot context menu on an individual file card and selecting "Delete," or using multi-selection controls. Dragging a file thumbnail directly toward the sidebar yields no interaction, as the sidebar navigation links do not function as drop targets.Proposed Functionality:- Allow users to click and drag one or more selected cloud document cards in the file browser.- Implement a clear visual hover/drop state over the left sidebar navigation items, specifically highlighting the "Deleted" trash can item when an asset is dragged over it.- Trigger standard deletion behavior upon releasing the file over the "Deleted" target, moving the document to the trash bin.Use Case & Benefit

 Problem StatementCurrently, Adobe Photoshop on the web requires users to download exported files directly to local storage. For workflows centered entirely around cloud storage, users must download the image to their local hard drive and then manually upload it to Google Drive. This multi-step process introduces unnecessary friction, clutters local downloads folders, and slows down content delivery.Proposed SolutionIntegrate native Google Drive export functionality into Photoshop on the web. Alongside the standard local download option, users should have the ability to authenticate their Google account and send exported assets directly to their cloud storage.Recommended Capabilities Direct Export Destination: Include a "Save to Google Drive" option within the export menu. Folder Navigation: Provide a lightweight directory picker allowing users to select specific folders or Shared Drives. Standard Format Support: Support direct export for common file formats, including PNG, JPEG, T

It would be great if Legacy option for Light layer would be persistent and not restored after every image close.Or bring back Brightness layer as separate layer.

The Sony DSC-RX100M5 is the predecessor model. 

I photograph ~100 winning quilts each year for a national competition. Each quilt needs correction for sagging, buckling, uneven hanging, and perspective issues. My workflow includes ACR Guided Upright, Perspective Warp, Puppet Warp, cropping, cloning, and border creation.The bottleneck is Puppet Warp. I must manually place 40–50 pins around the quilt edges and adjust each one to straighten the lines without distorting the design. This takes 20–25 minutes per quilt and results in 40–50 hours of repetitive manual editing per project. It also causes neck and shoulder strain.I’m requesting a feature that: Automatically detects object boundaries (similar to Select Subject). Automatically places Puppet Warp pins along the edges. Optionally straightens those edges by adjusting the pins inward/outward. Allows manual refinement afterward. This would dramatically reduce editing time, improve consistency, and benefit anyone working with textiles, product photography, museum imaging, or non

I photograph the winning entries in a national quilt competition every year, and I process around 100 quilt images in Photoshop. Each quilt needs to be corrected for sagging, buckling, uneven hanging, and perspective issues — all without distorting the quilt’s design.My workflow for every image includes: Straightening using ACR guides Perspective Warp for planar correction Puppet Warp for fine straightening Cropping Cloning to fill gaps created by warping Adding a consistent border for presentation This takes 20–25 minutes per quilt, adding up to 40–50 hours of manual editing. The most difficult and time‑consuming part is Puppet Warp, where I must manually place 40–50 pins around the quilt edges and then nudge each one to straighten the lines. This repetitive work causes significant neck and shoulder strain over multi‑day sessions.Feature RequestI would love to see a new Photoshop feature that: Automatically detects the object boundary (similar to Select Subject).

There was a point where the program was becoming great at removing objects, blemishes and other distractions all within the program itself. Then AI came along and Adobe developers have seemingly just become lazy and letting AI take the wheel. My system just for clarity on how bad it is: MacBook Pro M5 Pro with 48gigs (a near top tier device)Now files become massive and slow. Background processes from GPU to network connections take a job that should take 10 minutes to infinite rotating loading bubbles and twice as long. And now with the lastest update, we have AI Assist that just takes you to Firefly! Why not make a copy for actual professionals that don’t need this massive AI bloated program and another for the kids and Firefly AI bloat. If anything that would increase your $19 billion in revenue...but it also might mean you have to hire actual coders.

Forced AI is generating a resurgence of open source tools. Adding an “Non-AI” or “AI Free” option to installations and apps would be highly advisable. Furthermore, a lot of individuals are already running with limited hardware and resources, and these AI features are burning up computer resources rendering simple tasks like cropping a jpeg almost impossible. For the longest time the only thing preventing me, as well as a lot of other users, from switching to a Linux OS has been the power of the Adobe tools. However, as Adobe keeps up with this forced usage and installation of AI they will start to lose more users to programs like Davinci and Darkroom. 

Title:Strategic Pivot: Free Local "Human Use" Licensing Powered by High-Margin Firefly AI UpsellsMessage:Hi Adobe Product Team and Community,I want to propose a strategic evolution of the Photoshop licensing model that protects Adobe's market share against emerging free/open-source alternatives while unlocking a massive new revenue stream: The Free Local "Human Use" Tier.Instead of charging individual creators a flat subscription for basic local access, Adobe should make Photoshop free for non-commercial, local, manual human workflows, while shifting monetization heavily toward cloud-driven, AI-enabled features (Firefly) and tokenized compute.Here is why this is a highly profitable business decision for Adobe:• Securing the Future Pipeline: The primary threat to Photoshop in the indie and hobbyist spaces is the financial friction of the Creative Cloud subscription, which pushes users toward free or one-time-fee alternatives. By offering a free tier for local human workflows, Adobe capt

Adobe, please add WebP as an option in the Export As dialog. The current option is not acceptable. I want the same interface options for WebP as PNG, JPG, etc. when I choose to export for the web. WebP is becoming very popular and I'm surprised you haven't included it yet.

Currently, clicking and dragging an existing annotation with the Note Tool creates a new annotation instead of moving the existing one.Please improve the interaction with existing annotations:Clicking an annotation marker should open/select the existing annotation so its text can be viewed and edited. Clicking and dragging an annotation marker should move it to a new position instead of creating a new annotation. A new annotation should only be created when clicking on an empty area of the document.This would make the behavior much more intuitive and consistent with how users expect movable markers and annotations to work.

In the current release of Ps Beta “Exposure” appears duplicated - as a standalone adjustment layer and as part of the newer beta “Light” adjustment layer (that brings Camera Raw Filter adjustments into Ps layers).Brightness/Contrast and Exposure don’t accomplish the same things in an image. Exposure: Multiplies pixel values. It scales the highlights dramatically and can easily blow out bright areas if pushed too far. Brightness: Shifts midtones and compresses the highlights/shadows. It protects absolute whites and blacks from clipping, making it much safer for quick adjustments. I would like to see the former “Brightness/Contrast” adjustment layer be restored to replace the current standalone (and duplicative) “Exposure” adjustment layer (in Ps beta).There’s no need for redundancy of “Exposure” since “Brightness” offers more control in certain types of light. And, it slows our workflow and is klunky to have to use the hamburger menu to restore an often-used feature by toggling to a “pr

I cannot confidently tell my clients that no ai was used when it is so deeply integrated and maybe it runs on certain selection tools without me meaning to. For example, in Lightroom when synchronising settings from a custom preset that existed before ai was put into Lightroom, a statement about ‘ai processing’ shows up, even when I have not done any actions based on ai processing (no generative healing, no special denoise or lens blur)I would like a zero ai interface so I am not accused of even accidentally using it. The images I am dealing with are highly dependent on being seen as documentation and not manipulated by any pixel generation.At least it would be great to have a no-ai switch or working space that can stamp in the metadata that no ai was used.

Are there any suggestions/solutions for those of us who wish to disable or block AI tools like Firefly or the generative AI within Photoshop? I understand I don't actually have to use tools I do not wish to use within Adobe programs, but I think it would also be nice for some of us with strong ethical opposition to generative AI to have an option for it to not consistently pop up in our feeds or have our work training AI models without permission (hence why I disabled the content analysis option for my account).   Title edited by mod

Currently I’m unable to use Photoshop droplets at all, because the company computer with security policies does not seemingly allow apps/applets that are unsigned to run, even as admin. Please consider a way to allow these to run in strict security environments.

 Problem DescriptionThe Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) Color Grading panel currently requires users to manually click the disclosure triangle to reveal the Hue and Saturation sliders/numeric inputs.This hidden layout adds repetitive, unnecessary clicks to the editing workflow. Editors who rely on precise numeric values or slider adjustments must reopen these fields constantly.The UI should prioritize utility over a minimalist aesthetic.Proposed SolutionMake the Hue and Saturation sliders/input fields open by default when launching the Color Grading panel. Alternatively, allow ACR to remember the last used state of the disclosure triangle so users who prefer them open do not have to repeatedly click to reveal them.Thank you. 

So we now have large buttons on the options toolbar to select ‘AI assisted’ or ‘Pro Editing’ not sure if that’s a good idea or not, but what is defiantly NOT a great idea is that the Cross and Check Mark on the toolbar have been ditched - yes I know we can always use ESC and ENTER, but when you’re editing, especially with a stylus, Its a real pain to have to put the stylus/mouse down or reach across the keyboard with your other hand. It was far more convenient just to click on the Cross or Check mark 

Request: Standardize the Align tool in Photoshop with other CC Programs such as Illustrator & After Effects. Current Behavior, Photoshop:When aligning layers, a user must manually toggle alignment between “Canvas” or “Selection”Clicking the three-dots menu next to the align tools in the Options Bar Requested Behavior, Illustrator/After Effects Example: In Illustrator, selecting a single object/layer auto-assumes “Align to Artboard” (with other options available via the drop-down).Align tool in Options Bar auto-assumes “Align to Artboard” with only one object/layer selected When multiple objects/layers are selected in Illustrator, the align tool auto-assumes “Align to Selection” (with other options available via the drop-down).Align tool in Options Bar auto-assumes “Align to Selection” with multiple objects/layers selected  Likewise, in After Effects, selecting one layer auto-assumes alignment to “Composition” (with other options available via the drop-down).Align tool auto-assumes

One of the big deals of Nano Banana Pro is generating images at 2k and even 4k resolution right out of the box. Google charges the same for 1k and 2k generations, the only difference is that 2k takes longer. And 4k are roughly twice the price. But all our imaages from Nano Banana Pro in Firefly are limited to 1k. I don't think I need to tell you how frustrating it is to have to pay for other services to use the same model because we're locked out of some of it's best festures here. Adobe should implement it YESTERDAY. Allow us to generate 1k and 2k images for the same cost, or unlimited for those who have it, and charge credits for 4k generation if they must. But do it ASAP. C'mon guys, you're falling behind, just pluggin the model isn't enough.
