Camera Raw effect in Photoshop should have 'Preview' toggle like other effectsOpen for Voting

The ProblemWhen using Camera Raw as a filter on individual layers within a composition, the adjustment window operates in isolation. Unlike other Photoshop adjustments that show real-time changes in the main canvas, Camera Raw only displays the preview within its own dialog window. The effects only become visible in the actual composition after clicking "OK" – making it impossible to evaluate color grading decisions in context with other layers.The Use CaseCamera Raw has evolved into one of the most powerful and intuitive color grading tools available, with a workflow that mirrors professional applications like DaVinci Resolve and After Effects. Many of us naturally gravitate toward it for layer-level color correction because of its comprehensive controls and familiar interface.However, when working on complex compositions with multiple layers, context is everything. A color adjustment that looks perfect in isolation might clash with other elements, create unwanted contrast issues, or simply not serve the overall composition. Currently, the only way to check this is through a frustrating cycle of:Make adjustments in Camera RawClick OKEvaluate in compositionRe-open Camera Raw filterRepeatThe SolutionAdd a "Preview in Document" toggle (similar to other Photoshop effects) that would:Allow the Camera Raw window to remain open while showing live updates in the main compositionEnable dual-monitor workflows, with Camera Raw controls on one screen and the full composition visible on anotherMaintain the existing preview within the Camera Raw window for detailed adjustmentsThis would bring Camera Raw's filter application in line with the real-time feedback users expect from modern non-destructive workflows, making it truly viable as a professional color grading tool for layer-based compositing.This simple toggle would transform Camera Raw from a powerful but isolated adjustment tool into an integrated part of the composition workflow.

Please add Shaped Linear (bezier) dissolveOpen for Voting

In PPro, a blank timeline is transparent, not black video. There's a weird thing with how alpha channels are dissolved in and out in PPro that creates this weird problem that we have been suffering with for YEARS. Try this experiment:- Blank timeline- Add a piece of video- Add one-second dissolves to heads and tails- Notice how it fades in and out smoothly at the very head and very tail of the clip?- Now add another shorter layer of video above the first, so that layer one fades in first and also continues past at the end.- Now add a dissolve transition to the head and tail of the video on layer two (to essentially create a transition from layer one video to layer two)- Notice how at the very head of video two, the second video layer appears to "pop" in, rather than gradually appears? (Same thing happens with title overlays)- Now compare this... On layer two, rather than adding the one-second dissolve transitions, go back and do a one-second opacity curve, where at the head, you do an "ease out" to the 0% (transparent) keyframe, and do an "ease in" to the 100% (opaque) keyframe (making a bezier curve). (and do the direct opposite at the tail to dissolve out).- Now, watch the transition. Notice how the video dissolve eases in at the very head, instead of that initial "pop" in, and at the end, it gently dissolves back to track one with no dumping at the very tail? This same thing happens with titles.  If you place dissolves on a title layer on a blank timeline, the fades look great. However, when you add dissolve transitions to a title layer that is on top of video, the head appears to "pop" in and the very tail "dumps." The question is: Can we finally get a shaped-linear (bezier) curved dissolve transition under the dissolve transition menu, that basically does that bezier opacity curve that I described above and have that as an alternative to the basic "linear" dissolve? I will gladly share a video example. Can we post YouTube links to the video? Thanks!

Bring back Frame Disposal when saving GIFsOpen for Voting

Please restore of per-frame disposal (restore-to-background) option in Photoshop GIF export Adobe Photoshop Product Team:I write as a long-time user and (sometimes frustrated) creative professional. I want to express how deeply disappointed I am in the removal (or concealment) of the per-frame disposal / “restore to background” option from Photoshop’s GIF export logic. That feature was previously a one-click fix that prevented ghost trails and residual outlines when animating changing shapes. Because the disposal option is no longer exposed, users doing change-over-time visualizations are forced into extremely cumbersome workarounds—masking, external converters, scripting, or losing transparency altogether. This is not acceptable for professional-level workflows. Here’s why restoring that control is critical: Precision workflows require clean frame swaps. When a feature expands or contracts across frames, you must prevent lingering artifacts from prior frames. Without disposal control, Photoshop’s “optimization” or automatic blending leaves ghost outlines or flicker.Transparency support is essential. Many use cases demand that only the feature be visible over an underlying map or base image. That requires robust transparent GIF export with correct disposal behavior—not half-baked transparency that blends bad edges.Efficiency & usability. Designers and analysts should not have to resort to external tools, command-line scripts, or multi-step pipelines just to get a “clean” animated GIF. This should be a core feature of Photoshop’s frame animation export.Backward compatibility & user expectations. Users accustomed to earlier versions expect that level of control. Removing or hiding it degrades Photoshop’s value for many technical, scientific, and design use cases.  I respectfully request, in your next version(s) of Photoshop (including the Beta channel): Reintroduce a visible per-frame disposal / restore option in the Frame Animation Timeline (or in GIF export settings)Ensure it works reliably with transparent frames and changing-mask shapesProvide proper documentation & UI cues so users know how to enable itConsider offering a “legacy disposal mode / explicit frame replacement” toggle in the Save for Web / Export dialog  I believe many users would benefit from this restoration, especially those using Photoshop for visualization, mapping, environmental data, UI prototyping, or technical animation work. Thank you for your time, and I hope you’ll seriously consider restoring that capability. I’m available for clarification or feedback if that helps.
