Please let us save Templates on Adobe Stock before purchasing.Open for Voting

I can't understand why, on Adobe Stock, we are unable to save tamplates prior to purchasing. We can do it for images, vectors, video and audio files, but not tamplates (such as for After Effects or Premier). The template has to be bought first. This is such a pain as the only way to save these is to either bookmark the tab, or copy and paste the asset ID into a document for reference later.  It would be so much easier to save them to a library for future purchase, like we are able to do with the rest of the assets on Adobe Stock. Its like a store not allowing certain products to be added to your cart, only giving you the buy now option (and without a solid refund policy). Makes no sense, so Adobe, can you please...pretty please with sugar on top, fix this for us 🙂

P: Export face tag metadata (people names) from Lightroom CloudOpen for Voting

Hello, Currently, Lightroom Cloud (Desktop/Mobile/Web) does not allow exporting face recognition data — i.e. the names of identified people — in the metadata of exported files. This issue has been raised in this discussion: Exporting face tag metadata   This is a much-needed feature for many users, for several reasons: Personal or professional archiving with preserved face recognition info. Sharing photos outside Lightroom while keeping a record of who is in them. Interoperability with other tools that can read XMP metadata, such as Lightroom Classic or third-party photo managers. I would like to suggest that Adobe adds an option (as available in Lightroom Classic) to include face tag metadata (people names) in the exported file metadata.

Automatic Light and Shadow Generator (Photoshop & Lightroom)Open for Voting

I have an idea for an AI-powered tool that automatically generates lighting and shadow effects on objects. The concept is simple yet powerful:There will be a movable sun icon that acts as a dynamic light source. Users can freely drag and position this icon anywhere on the canvas or workspace. Based on the position of the sun icon, the AI will automatically calculate and apply realistic light and shadow effects to the objects in the scene.This tool would simulate natural lighting behavior—adjusting the direction, intensity, and length of shadows depending on the sun's location. For example:Moving the sun icon to the top-right corner would cast shadows to the bottom-left.Placing it lower on the canvas would create longer, softer shadows as if it were sunset.Brightness and highlights on the objects would also adapt dynamically.This tool could greatly benefit for anyone who needs quick and realistic lighting in their design process. Instead of manually painting shadows or adjusting layers, users can achieve professional lighting results with a single intuitive control.Additional features could include:Adjustable shadow softness and opacity.Multiple light source support (e.g., moon, lamp).Presets for different times of day or lighting moods.Exportable shadow layers for advanced editing.

Please clean up Adobe's folder structure on macOS – it's a messOpen for Voting

Could you please reconsider how Adobe software distributes its configuration, cache, libraries, and support files across the macOS user account? Right now, it’s a complete mess.Some files are dumped into: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/others into ~/Library/Preferences/and yet more into ~/Documents/Adobe/, ~/Documents/Shared/, and so on.Even within Application Support, there's no consistent logic—some products create deeply nested folders, some split their data between multiple hierarchies (e.g., Media Encoder vs. Premiere), and shared libraries like color profiles, swatches, LUTs etc. aren’t even centralized. Where’s the global Color directory that should exist for shared ICC or .ase files? Instead, we have cryptically named or duplicated folders all over the place.And then there's the Creative Cloud Files folder… with a 200+ character identifier in its name. Why?This isn’t just about aesthetics. It:Breaks automationMakes backup and migration harderWastes time for power users trying to locate or edit configsViolates basic UX consistency on the platformI’m not asking for a full redesign—just consolidate, document, and standardize folder locations. If there’s a global Shared folder (like ~/Documents/Shared/Adobe/), use it for shared libraries. If user prefs belong in Preferences, keep them there. And please stop mixing local and cloud-related content in one unstructured heap. Shouldn’t be that hard to write correct paths into the code. Thanks for listening.

Organising footage in a sequence - Two Layer Colour CodingOpen for Voting

Hey, had an idea for a feature that I think could be really useful for alot of people scrubbing down big projects, and making the organising of footage more visual.  I know there is already a feature to colour code clips, but, just one set of colours is generally never enough, as there are two main areas that people like to keep orgaised.  1 - The type of shot (wide/close up/b-roll/talking head/subjet/details etc)2 - The location of the shot in relation to the order the shoot (i.e exterior/room 1/room2/ location 1/location 2/day1 /day2 etc) What im suggesting is keep the colour coding of the clips the same, but add another option to change the colour of the outline of a clip (adding a coloured stroke), so you can easily see the two colours signalling the clip is a "b-roll shot in the kitchen" without having to scrub over the clip.  I feel like having two layers two the colour coding processs can be used in more ways than ive described so feel like it could be a handy feature that solves alot of other problems with organising too. Just a thought! Would be a huge time saver for myself... Thanks!

Globally lock output settings for hardware playbackOpen for Voting

Premiere Pro is the only post app i use on a daily basis where the hardware output signal follows the source. While this makes sense on paper, it doesn't work well in practice. The two biggest flaws with this concept are the proliferation of UHD content but not UHD monitors, and social media deliverables. UHD content on a non UHD monitors means the signal has to be cross converted to display a signal. Social media deliverables like 9x16 don't display properly on hardware devices like BlackMagic ultrastudio. The solution is to introduce the ability to lock playback for hardware devices to a standard. This is how Davinci Resolve, Silverstack Lab, Livegrade and FCPx all work. If i can set my output to 1080p23.976 globally, then Premiere can push all my signals into that box. My hardware and Flanders monitor would be much happier.

Feedback on Adobe Substance 3D Stager Performance and Feature EvolutionOpen for Voting

As an Adobe user for over twenty years and an early adopter of nearly every major software release, I’ve always admired Adobe’s commitment to empowering creatives. I consider myself one of Adobe’s biggest fans and have seen firsthand how its tools have evolved to meet the growing demands of modern design. With that in mind, I’d like to share some feedback regarding Substance 3D Stager. While I appreciate the innovation and the introduction of powerful features like generative AI (starting with version 2.1), I’ve noticed a concerning trend. The software’s performance has significantly declined, especially for users without high-end hardware. The constant addition of new features, while exciting, can become a double-edged sword. As capabilities expand, hardware requirements often increase drastically. This shift risks alienating a large portion of Adobe’s user base who may not have access to top-tier machines. A tool that crashes, freezes, or lags under normal use conditions undermines its core purpose: enabling creativity. My request to Adobe is simple and important. Please prioritize stability, performance, and usability before introducing advanced features. Fancy tools are only valuable if users can actually use them. It is essential to focus on perfecting the basics so that creatives can bring their imagination to life reliably and efficiently. Thank you for listening and for continuing to build tools that shape the future of design.

Keep Alignment In Properties Panel When Selecting All Text Created By Type ToolOpen for Voting

Please keep alignment option available when selecting multiple text clips created with the type tool. Alignment is only available in the properties panel when selecting 1 text clip, when selecting multiple text created by the type tool, alignment options disappear from the properties panel. This would be very useful when batch adjusting text.

Persistent PNG transparency on copy/pasteOpen for Voting

Windows 11Photoshop 26.8It was suggested that I post this here after making a post reporting it as a bug. You can find that post here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/persistent-png-transparency/ When copying and pasting a png from anywhere into photoshop the transparency is stripped away and replaced with black.  This only happens with Windows OS but this is not a windows specific issue as it does not happen with all image processing applications. It is also not a browser issue as, again, it works for other applications.  I’ve read all the suggestions that people identify as "work arounds", but none of those steps can be easily automated into a keyboard shortcut and are not an actual solution. If you are reading this, please DO NOT comment with workarounds that cannot be automated.So my "idea" is that adobe fixes this age old problem.  Ether make a plugin that allows for pasting with transparency or create a permanent in-software fix.   If it is indeed a browser issue, than make a plugin for browsers that fixes it.

Add a Keyboard Shortcut option to switch between Value Graph and Speed GraphOpen for Voting

Often, I'm switching between the Value Graph and the Speed graph, and it feels weird not to have an option to switch between them via shortcut or scripting.Most (if not all) settings in the Graph Editor don't have native shortcut options. Why?

Allow font auto-activation to be turned off in PhotoshopOpen for Voting

We need the ability to completely disable font auto-activation in ALL Adobe applications. Many of us already use font management software, and we don't need Adobe gumming up the works with its own unwanted version. This already exists in Illustrator and InDesign; please add it to Photoshop and every other Adobe application.

Adding image reference for composition of video generationOpen for Voting

Hello, Have two things to mentions here. First is an idea, second is more of error prevention.1. When generating a video, in composition reference, it only gives option to add a video. Even though we usually have a setting image, or have created a composition from where we want to start the video. In any case, most of the times, we don't have video reference while generating a video, and looking for one wastes a lot of time. Then there's the case where even the prompt is not picking the nearest thing. 2. Having the ability to add the exact text in the video saves many hours of editing, and reduced file size. The prompts are not picking the exact text.Thank you   [personal information removed by moderator]

Photoshop Clipping Mask Not Working in After Effects?Open for Voting

Hi Adobe Team,When importing layered PSD files into After Effects, I've noticed that Photoshop clipping masks are not preserved. Instead, the clipped layers come in as normal layers without their clipped behavior.Currently, the workaround is to manually recreate the clipping mask using the Alpha Matte system, placing the clipping mask layer below and setting the top layer to Alpha Matte. While this works, it becomes time-consuming when working with complex PSDs that contain many clipping masks, as we need to manually adjust every pair.Feature Suggestion:It would be extremely helpful if clipping masks in Photoshop could be automatically translated into Alpha Mattes or pre-set matte relationships in After Effects upon import, especially when importing as Composition (Retain Layer Sizes).This would greatly improve workflow for motion designers and editors who rely heavily on Photoshop-to-AE integration.Thanks for considering, and I hope this could be improved in a future update!

P: Don't Clear Remove Tool Masking Selections When Switching Tools And ModulesOpen for Voting

Today, I was editing a photo shoot with a couple standing on a bridge with a bunch of other people. I spent probably 15-20 minutes carefully masking all of the extra people on the bridge, intending to generatively remove them. However, when I was nearly done I accidentally hit the "C" key, which took me into the Select/Candidate view in the Library module. I then hit "Q" to go back to the Remove tool in the Develop module and my entire selection I'd just spent 15-20 minutes on was gone. This will also happen if you accidentally click on a different tool. Masking will only persist if you've clicked "Remove" to run the generative AI. This is really problematic and time wasting. REMOVE TOOL MASKING SHOULD PERSIST IF YOU SWITCH TOOLS OR MODULES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU'VE RUN THE REMOVE FUNCTION. This way you won't have to redo intricate masking selections that take a lot of time just because of accidentally switching to a different tool or module. Thank you for considering this feature!

Add Toggle for Left/Right Image in Comparison View for VectorscopeOpen for Voting

I'm doing some color correction and shot matching in Premiere Pro using the Comparison View, with my source hero shot on the left and the target on the right. Waveform and Vectorscope are open in the Lumetri Scopes panel. The issue is that in Comparison View, both images are combined on top of each other into a single Vectorscope graph. I’d like to see the difference between the two. Is there a way to have a mute or ON/OFF toggle under the left and right images in Comparison View, so you can quickly isolate the scope for just one image and compare it more easily?

automatically close previous sequence when duplicating a sequenceOpen for Voting

At various jobs, we'll duplicate a previous version of a cut (ex. v1), and rename it with the new version # (ex. v2). However, so many times, myself and others have ended up editing in the v1 sequence because it's open in the Timeline panel, whereas our new version is still closed. Is it possible to add a "Duplicate Sequence with new version number" type command that:- Duplicates the sequence- CLOSES THE OLD SEQUENCE- OPENS THE NEW SEQUENCE- Prompts to rename the duplicated sequence (some jobs have their version number in the middle of the sequence name, so may not be easy to auto renumber) It'd probably be a good idea to leave it up to the editor to move the old sequence into a z_Old folder so they don't later claim, "It disappeared on me."

Custom Pixel Aspect Ratios - Helpful for anamorphic footageOpen for Voting

Hi, I could really use the ability to set a custom pixel aspect ratio in the Interpret Footage settings, and/or sequence settings. There's a lot of anamorphic lenses coming to market, and some of them don't de-squeeze perfectly with the default options for pixel aspect ratio that we're currently locked into. The Blazar Mantis lenses are an example of this, where 1.33x is close to correct, but to perfectly de-squeeze the footage you need to be able to set a 1.38 pixel aspect ratio. The only work around is to manually scale the clips on the horizontal axis only, but then re-sizing clips gets real funky.

I wish there was an easy way to share transcriptsOpen for Voting

I work on a news team and edit most of my stories on premiere. I wish there was a way I could share a web version of the transcript premiere makes with teammates. I know I can export it as a txt document but I would love a way to share it with the audio synced similar to otter. I find premiere's transcription to be really good -- especially the speaker recognition. But ultimately I end up having to use a lesser product, which often doesn't have the correct timecode, with team members. This would be a big value add for me and my team.

Stereo track audio mixingOpen for Voting

Is this overly convoluted. I have a sequence with a stereo audio track in the timeline. Left track is clip mic, right is ambient. I want to mix this. What I have done is. Open the Audio track mixer. Toggle the track mixer effect pannel open, navigate through two drop down menus to apply channel mix effect, double click to open the effect - another mixer! Adjust left channel, tab to right channel control, adjust faders. So streamlined. Seriously, is this the only way to do this? How about a pair of ganged faders in the main audio track mixer.  Am I missing something?
