Adobe Creative Cloud Business Model - Total Disregard for Loyal Users and Destructive Impact on theOpen for Voting

As a professional graphic designer since 1998 — over 25 years using your tools — I am writing to you with profound indignation and disappointment at the direction the company has taken with the Adobe Creative Cloud business model.For more than two decades, I have been a faithful user of your products. I have invested not only money, but time, knowledge, and constant feedback that contributed to the evolution and improvement of the tools that made Adobe the technological giant it is today. I actively participated in the creative community that tested, suggested improvements, promoted, and defended your products among colleagues and students.This historical loyalty is now being completely disrespected.The current mandatory subscription model — which forces me to pay for an expensive complete package to access only 2 or 3 applications I actually use — is an affront to all professionals who built the solid foundation of your company. It is unacceptable that, after decades of investment and loyalty, I am forced to pay for dozens of programs I will never use, just to remain competitive in the market.Adobe is actively contributing to the exclusion of senior designers and freelancers from the job market.As a freelancer, I am forced to individually bear costs that reach €1000 annually, just to access the basic tools of my work. This is unsustainable and discriminatory. You are creating a financial barrier that prevents experienced designers — who don't have company backing to pay for these subscriptions — from staying active and competitive.I demand that Adobe:Create customizable packages that allow choosing only the necessary applications, with proportional pricingImplement significant discounts for long-time users and freelancersReintroduce perpetual license options or lower-cost packages for independent professionalsRecognize and compensate the historical contribution of loyal users who helped build the Adobe empireYour current strategy is purely capitalist and predatory. You are transforming essential design tools into luxury items, forcing qualified professionals to abandon the market or seek alternatives.As a member of the creative community who has always defended and promoted your products, I feel betrayed and discarded. If you continue on this path, you have not only lost a loyal customer of 27 years, but also an advocate who will now actively recommend the available alternatives.Adobe has the opportunity to correct this injustice. I hope you demonstrate the same respect for the creative community that it has always shown for you.

P: Face recognition - allow user to specify criteria (eg capture time) to exclude names from suggested matchesOpen for Voting

Feature: allow users to provide criteria for name-space search (face-name matches) that exclude (prefer) according to user-specified criteria. Most important criteria for matching is capture time, but other criteria (keyword / keyword groups, for example) could be used. Fuzzy logic implementation would also be possible (e.g. heavily weight likely results by year of capture, presence in collections/collection sets, etc)This will GREATLY reduce the number of false-positive matches.Example using capture time:-User has large catalog containing many photographs, including images going many years.-Selects a group of photos (by collection set, folder years, search criteria, etc) that all have capture times of 2025.-In suggested matches, Lightroom currently displays potential matches for names that are only in images prior to 2005 (real world example). -Provide an option for user to specify capture-time periods (eg 2020-present), and the number of false matches drops dramatically. -All of this data already exists in the Lightroom catalog internal database, and implementation could be done in background (i.e. present possible matches but remove those suggestions that do not fit criteria as they are identified, in same way that the people panel view moves/removes potential matches as analysis proceeds.-For some criteria, fuzzy logic (non-exact matching) would also improve results (eg allow names from slightly outside the specified criteria, as long as 'proximate' in time or in other collections within a collection set (tree hierarchy could be used to weight likelihood/exclusion).-Similarly, the same approach could be used for other criteria, such as keywords (eg 'family', 'hockey', 'work', 'college' whatever), presence in collection sets, or other.Note, while I am suggesting a user-controlled mechanism to define criteria, nothing presents using this approach to 'weight' results in the people view suggestions (Lightroom may already be doing this to some degree but weighting criteria does not seem to play much of a role, despite it being an ‘AI’ feature, it is clearly not making much use of eg capture time).

SOLO video trackOpen for Voting

Hello Adobe Premiere Pro Team,My name is Felipe, and I have been working professionally as a video editor for over 15 years. Premiere Pro has been my primary editing tool for a long time, and it is an essential part of my daily workflow.I would like to share a feature suggestion that could significantly improve the editing experience for many editors.In the audio tracks, Premiere offers the Solo (S) and Mute (M) options, which make it very easy to isolate specific tracks or combinations of tracks. This is extremely helpful when working with complex timelines.However, in the video tracks, there is no equivalent “Solo” function.Currently, when working with multiple layers of video, the only way to clearly view a specific layer is to manually toggle the visibility (the eye icon) or temporarily disable other tracks. In more complex timelines, this can become slow and inefficient.A “Solo Video Track” feature, similar to the audio Solo function, would allow editors to quickly isolate one or more video tracks while temporarily hiding the others. This would make it much easier to review layers, check overlays, graphics, or VFX elements without altering the existing track visibility setup.For editors working with motion graphics, overlays, or complex multi-layer timelines, this could be a very valuable addition to the workflow.Thank you for creating such a powerful editing platform and for continually improving Premiere Pro.Best regards,Felipe

Histogram Preview for Selected Image in Adobe BridgeOpen for Voting

Description:As a frequent user of Adobe Bridge, I often review large batches of images taken in variable lighting conditions. A key part of my workflow is quickly identifying and rejecting photos that are either underexposed, overexposed, or lacking in color information. These tasks are best informed by viewing a histogram. However, Bridge currently does not display a histogram for selected images unless they are first opened in Camera Raw or another editor, adding unnecessary steps and time to the culling process.Proposed Feature:Add a real-time histogram preview for the currently selected image directly within the Bridge interface, e.g. in the Preview or Metadata panel. This feature would allow users to instantly see the distribution of tonal and color information, enabling much faster and more objective image culling without leaving Bridge or engaging in manual edits first.Benefits:Streamlines workflow: Quickly assess exposure and color balance without opening each image individually.Improves accuracy: Make more objective decisions about which photos to reject or keep, especially in variable lighting situations.Saves time: Reduces the need for round-tripping images between Bridge and editing apps just to check basic exposure data.Consistent with user needs: Similar features exist in Lightroom and Photoshop, and users have repeatedly requested this for Bridge (see prior discussions here, here, and here).Summary:Integrating a histogram preview directly into Adobe Bridge would make it a much more powerful and efficient tool for photographers and editors managing large photo libraries, particularly when exposure and color consistency are critical.
