P: Photoshop Needs a Feature to Remember Individual Brush SizesOpen for Voting

Hi all, I am desperately reporting a very inconvenient brush size-saving feature in Photoshop and begging for a fix.I originally started using Photoshop, but I continually feel stressed because of the lack of a brush size memory feature. I’ve used Clip Studio Paint, which has a feature that remembers each brush's size individually. However, I want to continue using Photoshop because I love this program. Here’s a feature that I believe Photoshop must add:I want each brush to retain the last size I used for it separately (meaning, I want each brush to remember its own last-used size, instead of sharing the same size across all brushes).For example, as you all know, when I use Brush A with a default size of 5 and change its size to 20, then switch to Brush B and return to Brush A, the brush is no longer at size 20. It automatically reverts to its originally registered size of 5.To make the brush remember the size I last used, I tried saving Brush A as a new brush preset and unchecked the "Capture Brush Size in Preset" option. However, when doing this, the brush only remembers the last used size, no matter whether it’s Brush A, B, or C.For example, if I use Brush A at size 1, then change the size to 20, and switch to Brush B, changing its size to 5, when I return to Brush A, the size is no longer 20. Instead, it’s the size of 5 from Brush B. Eventually, I forget what the size of Brush A was before I switched to Brush B. You might think I could just create a new Brush A with size 20 to avoid forgetting, but I use at least 10 brushes in one illustration and change their sizes all the time. Saving a new brush preset for each size change would be chaotic and time-consuming.To emphasize the issue further, unchecking "Capture Size" has a major flaw: All brushes made with "Capture Size" unchecked share the last used brush size. For example, if I use Brush A at size 20 for hair detail, then switch to Brush B for eye detail and change its size to 10, when I return to Brush A, its size automatically switches to 10 as well. I don’t want this—Brush A should remember its last size of 20, and Brush B should remain at size 10.As I said, I don’t want to save a new brush preset every time I change a brush size. To clarify, I want Brush A to remember its own history of the last used size (which is 20), while Brush B should remember its own size (which is 10), regardless of which brush I switch to.This feature is available in Clip Studio Paint and even in Blender’s Grease Pencil. I believe this is an essential feature for illustrators using Photoshop. I cannot believe that Photoshop hasn’t added this basic, must-have feature yet. I see many friends and professionals moving to Clip Studio or other programs because of this lack of feature. I love Photoshop, and I truly believe this feature would help Photoshop shine as an essential drawing and illustration tool. Please, please add this feature so I can continue using Photoshop as an awesome tool for my illustrations.Thank you for your help, and have a wonderful day!

Allow sorting and filtering library assets by Licensed, Unlicensed, or Non-StockOpen for Voting

Hello! I would love, love, LOVE to be able to filter and sort files in my Adobe libraries by what kind of license they have: Licensed (from Adobe Stock), Unlicensed (also from Adobe Stock), or Non-Stock (anything else). We can already do this in the Stock site's library, but not in the CC Desktop App library, or the CC online equivalent library, or in Bridge. But sadly the Stock site doesn't let us move licensed images from one library or group to another - at least, not easily enough that I'd have found it within the last few years. In other words, I would love to have one designated place I can access and manage my Adobe Stock library in detail. Currently different important features are split across several different places - the Stock site, the CC central hub app (whether desktop or online), and Bridge. But if I could do all those features at once in just one software/site/program? Oh, I'd swoon. Here's some screenshots to illustrate what I mean. CC DesktopHere's the CC Desktop app library interface for one of my libraries of Stock images, unsorted and unfiltered.And here's the sort options for that library in this interface.But I can move files here from one library to another. Stock SiteMeanwhile, here's the Stock site's interface for the same library.That same library, filtered to just have Unlicensed.And the same again, but filtered to just Licensed.Here's one of my licensed pictures. There's no option here to move it to another library. Bridge LibraryAnd here's the same library in Bridge.And here's the Filter options. These do not include anything about licenses.And here's the sort options. Again, no mention of licenses.Bridge also allows moving files from one library to another. RequestI'd love to have all of these options together at once in one of these platforms, if not in all three. Specifically, that's the functional option to do all of these:Move files from one library to anotherSort by Licensed, Unlicensed, or Non-StockFilter by Licensed, Unlicensed, or Non-Stock Thank you!
