Photoshop

If I have several layers selected, the alignment tools are very useful. However, if any of the layers are masked, the alignment is to the whole layer, not the visible (masked) area. It would be very useful to have the option of aligning the visible layers.

I want to be able to make at least one palette of 3-5 color swatches visible (like Kuler used to do & like Adobe Color generates) accessible as a pop-out to the Color Grading panel in ACR & the Ps Camera Raw Filter. I can't figure out a way currently to get my reference colors visible (if I'm trying to color grade to match a look I'm using as inspiration). I'd want to be able to pull the palettes to use as pop-outs from my Library or be able to custom create a palette on the fly by sampling from an image in Ps that can be accessed from inside ACR or Ps Camera Raw Filter's Color Grading panel. In a best of all worlds functionality scenario, I'd like to be able to use an Eyedropper Tool in the Color Grading Panel (of ACR/Ps Camera Raw Filter) to sample from that pop-out color swatches palette of 3-5 colors (to span shadows, midtones, highlights). If it's there, could someone pls advise me! I do not use Lr (Classic or otherwise) and would like that functionality for

There are so many preferences and options now that Photoshop needs a search bar in the preferences panel so I can find which preference options are available for different thing.The heirarchical browsing interface we have now does not scale to this many choices.I'm thinking of iOS or macOS settings where you can search for something, see a list where that term appears, and then click/tap to go that sub-panel.  As it is, the only way to see if a preference is available is to click each top-level heirarchy.  

This might be a far out and not necessarily a popular idea. But I make frame animations/GIFs in photoshop often of 15+ layers. Now when I do colour correction on a still image I almost always use channel masks on a curve layer to increase brightness and contrast etc. But as soon as I create a frame animation I have to either discard the channel mask and use a basic s-curve, which doesn't have quite the same effect; or I have to duplicate the channel masks manually and change them for each frame, which is too musch work for an amination, so I almost always forego quality to save time.So it would be realy cool to tell a layer mask to sample the green channel and generate a new mask per animation frame. Anybody else think this'll be useful? or is there already a way to do this that I'm just missing?

Hello would adobe ever consider making adobe fresco features available on desktop for professional use? I would love for the features to be implemented into photoshop like perspective tools, rulers, hold to create shapes , ect but with a large monitor on desktop. I do realize thats sort of a dream at this point since photoshop is really focused on selections and filters/photography usually. But it would be great to have a dedicated drawing experience for artist/painters who work profressionally so photoshop can continue to focus on photography. Adobe is the worlds number one art software creators, but never really focused on people who draw/paint much until fresco so would love to see that aimed at professional users on more on powerful desktop machines aswell.

Hi, im a spanish contect creator and designer and i have been using photoshop since 2012. Recently AI tecnlogy has been through a lot of improvements with websites like DALL-E and i expected Adobe would react to this and adapt

I noticed that HDRO has come to the Mac version of Photoshop this latast release of 2023. Are there plans to release HDRO on the Windows version?

The video editing capabilities of photoshop are awesome. Only handling the zoom in the timeline is no fun. I'd wish there was - a button that adjust the zoom level so the clip fits the panel- shortcuts for zooming in/out/fit (There's already a discussion about this https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/please-help-me-make-a-shortcut-for-zooming-in-and-out-of-the-timeline-in-photoshop/m-p/10012085 but I didn't find a feature request where I could leave my vote)

As a surface pattern designer, I have been using the Pattern Preview feature quite frequently. I know several designers, as well as myself, who have been hoping Adobe Photoshop could further develop this tool. Even just access to a half drop repeat to start with would be so helpful. Hoping we can create enough buzz for Adobe to really look into adding this feature! I would love to see more repeat options specifically in Photoshop.

Using PS 24.0.0 on a Windows 11 system. Neural filters containing several sliders (e.g. Photo restoration) have no means of saving & importing slider settings. So, when processing a batch of images with similar artifiacts, the user must adjust the entire set of sliders manually for each image. Implementing a save & import feature (i.e. a 'preset') would save user time and facilitate the practical use of such filters.

Hi,The name of apps, like Photoshop, is constantly changing, mostly by adding the release year or so. I now have Photoshop 2021 and Photoshop 2022. I am working on a Mac and keep the apps I often use in the Dock. By changing the app's name the Dock now refers to the wrong app and I need to manually update it. Why not just change the app and maintain a version number but keep the same name ? This is a real PITA

Shouldn't be an idea but something integrated from years... on every realease I hope Adobe resolve this issue in Photoshop and Bridge but, after all these years, the song remains the same.Is it so difficult to implement real Mac fullscreen in these softwares? Lightroom has it like many others 3rd party applications.So I seroiusly ask you Adobe: Why don't you add this feature in Photoshop and Bridge? Is it so difficult for yr developers? Please Adobe do it once for all.Thanks

It would be great when using workspace feature if your workspace can also rememeber what window position photoshop itself is in. Currently when using workspace , photoshop  can remember the panel windows and icon locations but NOT the Main photoshop window itself. BTW When I say main photoshop window I mean the main interface that you can minimize/maximize, has file,edit, image, filter, window, help at the top ect. Example:I use a cintiq monitor and sometimes I jump to my other monitor when I want a more relaxed posture. I switch my workspace profile for the current monitor Im working on. However I  always to drag the main photoshop window itself to the other monitors, and it would be great if photoshop could just remember its location to the workspace profile as it does for its panels.

Improving layer masking for complex documents: Problem Statement: Masks are an invaluable tool in my workflow, but they become inconvenient to use the more complex my document becomes.   Having multiple layers in the same document which all need either the same mask or a very similar mask to one another creates a tedious workflow in which very minor changes take much longer than they need to. Example:I want to apply a color edit to just a subject’s face and hair.  I have previously made a mask of the whole subject to isolate them from the background.  As it stands I have a handful of options:Copy the mask from a different layerIf I saved the Selection as a Channel, use the Channel to make a new Layer MaskCreate a new selection from scratchTwo of these options also require me to destructively edit the mask to restrict it to just the face and hair.(optionally I could nest the color edit inside a group to allow me to non-destructively restrict the mask b

Luminar Neoのようにぼけた写真をシャープにする機能を付けて欲しい。 

It would be really helpful to have an option to show a variation on the gradient cursor with a perpendicular line to the direction of the gradient. I spend a lot of time drawing gradients up to the edge of products in photographs, and unless it's a 90º or 45º angle I have to just keep eyeing it until I line it up correctly. The image attached isn't the best example of this but does show what I'm picturing.Apologies if this is possible and I haven't managed to find it ..! 

If a click on a layer in the layer list, that layer is selected. But when I open the Info box for that layer, no info is given. Since that layer is selected, why not automatically display the x,y,width and height values. Clicking on the actual graphic object has the chance of moving the object. I also don't understand why after typing a whole number for a x or y position, the next time I click on it, the x and/or y coordinate has by a very slight amount as in hundreth's.

I'm using Mac OS Big Sur 11.7 I have a late 2014 5k iMac, with a 4 GHz intel i7, 32 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3, and a 4 GB AMD Radeon R9 M295X video card. In Adobe Lightroom to adjust image geometry to straighten a scanned/photographed image, I can use the bars to draw along it's edges to automatically straighten the image.In Adobe Lightroom there's a zoomed in preview which allows my selection to be precise.But that doesn't happen in Photoshop.Why the disparity? It's a great function, and should be consistent across apps. I don't want to have to switch to another application for good performance for just one step in my process.Thank you!

I would love to see Adobe offer a “stable diffusion” ability either by partnership or in-house development. Something along the lines of Dall-e. I hope this is the right forum to post this request.This would be very valuable for designers and concept artists.

Hello how can i attach Content Credentials when i am rendering Videos and GIFS in Photoshop?

I have seen no real solutions to this over the years so I am assuming there might be a technical reason Adobe doesn't do this. 3rd party app SageThumbs is no longer actively updated and I tried several others unsatisfactorily with Windows 11. Possibly one solution for those with Creative Cloud would be for Adobe to add a "Open this Folder in Bridge" option in Windows Explorer. At least you wouldn't have to navigate to the folder, realize you can't see the PSD and PSB thumbs and then open Bridge and navigate. I've tried all the other fixes, several utilties, the preview pane etc etc. This seems to me to be at least a workable solution. It is a pain in the butt when you work with mixed files including Photoshop, and getting everyone in the office to use to Bridge to solve what should be a simple ask like viewing a thumbnail isn't likely to happen.

Needs "Request Changes" action Needs "Approved" action Needs "New Revision" update

Adobe, we need to work on making Photoshop brushes to work with touch screen laptop and devices, it's essential and the future! I know that millios of users who are upgrading to touch screen devices like me would appreciate it! Thank you 

I know I'm not the only designer who needs to be able to find the closest match to my artwork in an user defined / created color swatch library. I would LOVE it if we could either: 1) Gain the ability to create color books using established swatches.  My vendors send me swatch books in .ase or .aco format.  I NEED to find the mathematical closest match within the available swatches in my vendor libraries. OR 2) Add a "find closest match" function that pulls from a user defined selection of swatches.   To really make designers happy, this functionality should work in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign at minimum.  It would also be nice if we had the option to see the top 3-5 closest matches.

I think it would be great if there was a visual scripting tool that may not require written script knowledge. Something that promotes artist to create scripts for those who want to go beyond actions. Blender has a plugin that allows creating visual scripts exactly this, and for those who know Python scripting can add written scripts as well. Would be an amazing tool for artist in Photoshop as well.
