Idea / Request: Nested Actions FoldersOpen for Voting

Seeing that in the Photoshop Beta the Actions panel is apparently starting to get an overhaul, I'd like to reinforce a request I think everyone would love to see: Nested folders / sets of actions.   Especially when downloading lots of actions online, they can really start to get cluttered even with the current ability to put them into a single level down in folders. It would be a game changer simply to be able to organize them further.   (Side Note: The forum is requiring me to choose a topic for the post but the only option is "Generative Fill" for some reason)

Make Zoom in Liquify Match Default Photoshop Zoom BehaviorOpen for Voting

App Version: Adobe Photoshop 26.6Platform/OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (MacBook Pro M2 Max)Steps to Reproduce:Enter Liquify mode.Press Z (Zoom Tool) and hold left mouse button while dragging the mouse.Expected Result:Zoom should behave smoothly — just like in the standard Photoshop interface — where dragging the mouse provides fluid, continuous zoom in/out.Actual Result:In Liquify, zooming is stepped or jerky, not smooth. The response feels segmented and unnatural, making it difficult to control the zoom level precisely.Why this matters:This inconsistency breaks the workflow. Smooth zooming is a standard, expected behavior in Photoshop, and should be consistent across all tools, especially Liquify, where precision and fluidity are critical for retouching.

Respect MacOS Standards. Stop Storing App Data in the Documents FolderOpen for Voting

Problem Statement Currently, on MacOS, Adobe Creative Cloud applications (such as Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, Photoshop, etc.) create and store application preferences in subdirectories inside: ~/Documents/Adobe/ For example:~/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder~/Documents/Adobe After Effects 2025~/Documents/Photoshop Cloud Associates~/Documents/Lumetri This is problematic for several reasons related to both MacOS platform conventions and user workflow. 1. Violation of MacOS Best Practices According to Apple’s MacOS Human Interface Guidelines:The ~/Document directory is for user’s personal documents.The ~/Library directory is for containing application settings, preferences, and other system resources that are specific to the user. Should not contain user data. Check the Apple's Library Directory guidelines. In general the Unix-based system principles, user configuration and application support files should not be stored in the Documents folder. Instead, the following directories are recommended:~/Library/Application Support/ for app data and configuration files~/Library/Preferences/ for user preferences~/Library/Logs/ for logs~/Library/Caches/ for cache files Using ~/Documents/ for internal app data violates this convention and results in unwanted clutter. 2. Conflicts with Cloud Sync (iCloud Drive) Apple consider the ~/Documents as a directory for user's files. And they build features within their ecosystem following that principle. At WWDC 2016 they announced a new feature that when enabled, MacOS automatically uploads the contents of the ~/Documents and ~/Desktop directories to iCloud Drive. This has been a default suggested option during MacOS setup for many years, meaning many users unknowingly enable it and then face unintended syncing of app  created folders like ~/Documents/Adobe. This bechavior leads to multiple issues:Application data and logs are synced unnecessarily across machines, causing instability and sync conflicts. In the way MacOS resolve conflict is to keep both files, which is unpleasant experience.It’s not possible to maintain different app states/preferences on multiple devices because they are constantly overwritten by iCloud sync.Ambiguity of how Adobe use the ~/Documents/Adobe directory. I was not able to find documenation how Adobe use the directory and is it safe to put my own content under that directory. 3. Obstructed File Organization I rely on ~/Documents for real project files. Adobe’s hardcoded usage of the Documents folder prevents me from safely using logical folder structures like:~/Documents/Adobe/Photoshop/project-name~/Documents/Adobe/AfterEffects/project-name This is not safe or predictable given that Adobe Creative Cloud may overwrite this folder during updates or runtime.Community Feedback This issue has been raised multiple times over several years, yet remains unresolved:Adobe Forums: “Adobe folders in Documents folder – Mac & Windows”Apple Forums: “Adobe creating folders in Documents”Adobe Ideas Portal: “Stop all Adobe products from creating an ‘Adobe’ folder in the ‘Documents’ folder”Adobe Media Encoder forum threadAnd many more places Suggested Solutions Option A (my own prefference and best operation system practices) Adopt the MacOS native directory conventions. Move preferences, config files, and logs to appropriate paths within ~/Library/Application Support/, ~/Library/Preferences/, ~/Library/Logs/, etc. Option B (safe alternative) If change might break legacy workflows or it is considerd as higer risk to change the default bechavior, at least provide a user configurable option within Creative Cloud App for all apps to:• Set a custom directory for app preferences and logs• Disable creation of ~/Documents/Adobe entirely

We should be able to keyframe effects on 'frame holds'Open for Voting

I understand that, technically, a frame hold is literally a static, single frame, and doesn't have its own frames no matter how much you extend it, but I would love to be able to keyframe their effects without having to nest them first! Maybe a toggle-able setting would work for this, so it doesn't ruin the workflow of anyone who might rely on that feature specifically.

Do not auto-update when on a metered networkOpen for Voting

If the user is on a metered connection, automatically disable updates to the Creative Cloud Desktop app and the individual Apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.).  Autoupdate is usually fine, but if the user is on a hotspot or metered network (e.g., working from home), the user probably wants to delay updating until they are on an unlimited connection. Yes, the user could turn off Autoupdate or prevent CC Desktop from booting at launch, but that shouldn't be necessary. Apps like OneDrive and Outlook disable updating by default on metered networks, prompting the user to actively enable updates. It would be great if CC Desktop worked the same way. (see this post from user marcoiosif with the same issue)

Bring Back Mask-Based Transform Controls for Smart ObjectsOpen for Voting

In Photoshop 25.5+, the transform controls on smart object layers no longer respect the layer mask's bounds. Instead, the transform handles default to the entire smart object, even when a mask is active.This is a major disruption to workflows that rely on quickly resizing or adjusting masked areas without affecting the full layer. Previously, selecting a layer mask allowed for tight, accurate transforms around the masked content. Now it requires cumbersome workarounds like rasterizing layers, manually loading mask selections, or using additional transform steps. Please consider either:Restoring the old behavior when a layer mask is selected.Adding a Preference toggle that allows users to choose between "Transform by Mask Bounds" or "Transform by Full Smart Object Bounds."This change slows down professional workflows and makes mask-based smart object editing less intuitive.To the powers that be, PLEASE take this into consideration, thank you!

Allow user to hide tools in Camera RawOpen for Voting

Within the Camera Raw window, there are a number of controls that I rarely/never use.  Talking to other creators that utilize CR, they all agree that there are a few (15-20) that are used on almost every image - while there are a number that we almost never utilize.  It would be incredible if we could either (or both):- Create a favorites window where we could stack our most-often used controls- Allow the user to hide rarely-used controls.

Do something so the sequences can be LOCKED inside a Premiere Pro Project.Open for Voting

When the heck are Adobe developers ever going to do something so the sequences can be LOCKED inside a Premiere Pro Project??? I am sick and tired, and I mean sick and tired of opening my Project and the sequences are all jumbled, and out of order. The software developers for Premiere Pro need to have a LOCK mechanism, so the sequences stay the same every time when you open up the project. Sometimes the sequences remain intact, but much of the time, the Sequences are out of order, or don't even show up, and you have to put them all back in order again in the project.  This has been happening for many years. FIX THE PROBLEM!!! Anytime you have many sequences in a project this happens. FIX THE ISSUE PLEASE!!!!

Import / RemoveOpen for Voting

Right clicking files in the imported Project Folders, the terminology used could be to Remove (from project), instead of Clear, since the files weren't copied by default. Then, if the files were actually copied on import, there could be another command for Clear (Delete imported files). Thanks!

Add Shortcut Action for Switching Between Tool PresetsOpen for Voting

I would like to suggest adding a dedicated command in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings that allows switching between Tool Presets — such as "Next Tool Preset" and "Previous Tool Preset."Currently, there's no way to assign a shortcut for selecting a different Tool Preset directly. The only available options are for managing presets (load, save, reset, etc.), but not for navigating through them during active work.This feature would greatly enhance workflow efficiency, especially for users who rely heavily on Tool Presets and want to cycle through them quickly without using the mouse. Please consider adding this functionality to make Tool Preset usage more dynamic and keyboard-friendly.

I wish Premiere could encode including codec conversion by using preview files.Open for Voting

Sequences that contain heavy effects need to be rendered many times during editing.Even though the preview files are already exist after rendering,Premiere can't use those preview files when encoding.It is too inefficient to start over from rendering when encoding.For example, there is a sequence that takes 40minutes to export,35minutes are for render, 5minutes are for encode.Even if I had already rendered the sequence, it takes 40 minutes again to export.To reduce total encoding time, we need to the steps below.1. Export the movie with the same codec as the sequence. (no codec convert)2. Place the exported movie in the sequence.3. Encode. (with codec convert)If Premiere can use preview files when encoding, we just do step 3 after rendering. 高負荷なエフェクトを含むシーケンスは、編集中に何度もレンダリングする必要があります。レンダリングの結果プレビューファイルが既に存在しているにもかかわらず、Premiereはエンコード時にそれらのプレビューファイルを使ってくれません。レンダリングからやり直しになり、あまりに非効率的です。例えば書き出しに40分かかるシーケンスがあり、レンダリングに35分、エンコードに5分かかるとします。既にレンダリング済みのシーケンスであっても、書き出しにはやはり40分かかります。エンコード時間を短縮するには、以下の手順を実行する必要があります。1. シーケンスと同じコーデックでムービーを書き出す。(コーデック変換なし)2. 書き出したムービーをシーケンスに配置する。3. エンコードする。(コーデック変換あり)エンコード時にプレビューファイルを使えれば、レンダリング後には手順3を実行するだけです。

Get AI out of my workspaceOpen for Voting

Is there any way to get this Generative Extend jive out of my tool bar? I dislike being forced to engage with this kind of gimmicky nonsense, and I downright resent being made to beta test some trendy, worthless flash in the pan. Would love if we could find a way to get this to the actual Adobe team.

Sharpen text in a photo imageOpen for Voting

I have a lot of images consisting primarily of light text, on a dark background, for  example:I write programs in Linux.  Linux has lots of commands, and most commands have LOTS of options (parameters) -- too much for my old brain to retain, so I copy and print articles from the web, which typically contain images like that shown above. I have tried various filters to clarify the text, plus selection tools on enlarged images then painting the selections and inverses with the paintbrush, but with only limited improvements in the readability of the text.  It would be great if an AI tool could recognize and sharpen the text.

Make 'fit' one of the default zoom stopsOpen for Voting

I nearly always zoom in and out using ctrl- / ctrl+, but often want to see my comp in the 'fit to view' magnification. It'd be nice if this was one of the 'stops' when zooming like this. I know it breaks the convention that each level of zoom is half/double the previous one, and it possibly might very slightly confuse someone in the rare situation if their window layout happened to mean that the 'fit' view is, say 52.3% (then zooming in from 50% would have a negligible effect), but I do think it'd be useful.Good idea, don't you think? Upvote! Upvote now!
