I often taking HDR screenshots on XBox Series X gaming console and on my PC with 4K HDR monitor!Those pictures look amazing and they are higher display quality than usual PNG or JPG images. Can’t compare.But I can’t edit them in Photoshop for what I’m paying Adobe CC subscription each month. I hope that Adobe responsible team for this feature be able to make. Photoshop can edit or make some HDR file formats but not a .JXR format files.I would like that developers, implement JXR files support in Photoshop.Thanks.
Hi guys,It often happens that when I have a layer selected and switch focus to its mask to paint, if I make a mistake and press Undo, the focus automatically jumps back to the main layer. If I don't notice it immediately, I start painting on the layer itself instead of the mask.My colleagues and I all face this same issue. The "Undo" command shouldn't change the selection target. While this behavior might be handy when going back many steps in history, it’s very annoying when you are simply painting on a mask.I’ve noticed that this happens frequently, though not every single time. Could we have an option in the Preferences to toggle this behavior?Something like: [ ] Include focus/selection change in Undo history
Feature request: Quick 1:1 scale resizing using known measurementsIt would be extremely useful if Photoshop had a simple, discoverable way to resize an image to true 1:1 scale based on a known real‑world measurement.For example, a user could use the Ruler Tool (or similar) to measure a known object in the image (such as a physical ruler), manually enter the real‑world length, and have Photoshop automatically scale the image accordingly—either with resampling or by adjusting resolution only.This would greatly improve workflows for digitisation, archival imaging, product photography, and technical documentation, where accurate physical scale is essential.
Would be great to have an option that will lock opacity when resizing my brush with alt+right click drag, There is one for brush hardness, but never found one for opacity!
SDL instances have to be kept up to date manually as the automatic updates cannot be set during the installation and change depending on what account is signed in to the CC app. We need a way to set the updates/version upgrades to download and install automatically. I should be able to set this behavior when creating the installer and set it so that non-admin users cannot change the behavior after installation. I should be able to schedule a window for these updates to take place within when the computers are not in use in the installer as well. Your current lack of this feature means that we cannot use our device licenses to the extent we intended because of the management workload to keep them updated. This applies to all adobe apps (not just Photoshop) but I was forced to select a category below.
Photoshop 27.x forces large hover tooltip panels (e.g., Generative Fill) with no option to disable them. These appear across tools and interfere with normal workflow. Previous versions allowed turning off “Rich Tooltips,” but that control has been removed. Please restore a simple preference to disable these panels.
Unlike most modern apps, Photoshop only has a single "undo". If you press command-z a second time, Photoshop will redo the change instead of continuing to undo. Not even Illustrator or InDesign works this way at this point. To work around this issue, I customize my keyboard shortcuts to use "step backward" (command-z) and "step forward" (command-shift-z). For the most part this works great and I've been very happy with it. But it brings up a new problem: if I change the selected layer, then press command-z ("step backward") then the layer change is undone as well. This is a constant frustration for me, and it seems there's no solution to get both the behaviors I want. To me, there are two possible ways to fix this problem: • Adopt a standard undo/redo system with multiple levels of undo/redo • Make layer selection a separate step in the history Personally I don't care that much, I'd be happy with either. But adopting a standard undo/redo system makes more sense to me, for consistency a
It would be really helpful to have an AI-powered feature that can automatically organize layers, groups, and assets based on content and naming patterns.For example, detecting similar elements (text, shapes, images) and grouping them intelligently, or suggesting cleaner layer names instead of “Layer 1 copy 5.” This could save a lot of time, especially in complex projects with dozens or hundreds of layers.An optional toggle or preview before applying changes would make it even more practical. Would love to hear if others feel the same or have ideas to improve this!
As is, the bar is almost ALWAYS in the way, covering the area I'm working in. It also has a nasty habit of disappearing after a while and refusing to reappear, or staying long enough to use (like when using generative features, where it will vanish after clicking the prompt area, making it impossible to click the generate button. As part of the window itself, it can always be present, and always out of the way.
For groups, Pass Through is Normal!For groups, Normal is Abnormal!That paradox made it hard to me to understand Adobe’s user manual on this topic (here), which seemed to be describing the opposite of what actually happens.I’ve attempted a clarified version below (which would constitute a separate subsection, specific to groups):Specify a blending mode for a groupWhen you choose the Normal blending mode for a group, you adopt the normal order in which the image components are put together. Normally, all of the layers in the group are put together first. The composite group is then treated as a single image and blended with the rest of the image using the selected blending mode. Therefore, none of the adjustment layers or layer blending modes inside the group will apply to layers outside the group.By default, instead of Normal, the blending mode for a group is Pass Through. The group’s adjustment layers and layer blending modes are applied first, before any compositing, and therefore aff
I truly appreciate the recent addition of the "Remove" option in the Contextual Task Bar. However, I would like to suggest a small but meaningful improvement to enhance user control and experience. Currently, the Remove Option in Contextual Bar works via Generative AI (cloud-based), and the Contextual Task Bar reflects only this mode. It would be much more efficient and user-friendly if the Contextual Task Bar adapts based on the user's chosen mode of the Remove Tool. Suggestion:If the user has Generative AI turned ON, then the cloud-based Remove option should appear in the Contextual Task Bar. If the user has Generative AI turned OFF, then the on-device Remove option should be available in the same Contextual Task Bar instead of removing the feature altogether. This will provide a seamless workflow and give users better control, especially when they prefer offline or on-device operations.
Creative Cloud installs (at least six (6) helper apps/applets. In macOS Tahoe, these create some confusion as many of them don’t open. Please recode them to fall under Spotlight’s Other section
PLEASE ADOBE, get serious. We need this one so much and fast.My case (and I guess, many others):I'm doing some clean up in a ACES shot (32b EXR Seq), using After Effects (Last version) with Content-Aware Fill. When I create a Reference Frame (EXR, not PSD) it opens in Photoshop (Last version), and the problem starts:1) It looks all blown up in the highlights. When is going to be ACES Management automatic?2) After looking on several places, find a way to apply some color look up to appear similar to the AE preview in my DELL monitors. Ok, great! (?) Well, Not yet...3) When is Adobe going to LET US USE ALL THE TOOLS, including Generative AI in 32b?4) Ok, downgrading to 16b, simple isnt it? NO. The image changes and the aplied luts no longer looks the same. So...5) How to match color and levels in 16b to see the image THE SAME WAY I see it in AE? Work on it, and the save it in 32b again as it were before, and be able to see that EXR frame to update in AE to FINALLY be able to run "Generat
Is it possible to modify the “default” parameter when we change the Image mode to “Bitmap” . It's now by default to “Diffusion Dither” but it must be “50% Threshold”. The mode “Diffusion Dither” cause many trouble, because the picture became with multiple dots (pixels) instead of a uniform area. This cause major problems in the printing industry and designer don’t notice this issue.
We often time use Photoshop to include paragraph texts in Photoshop files, so I request to add an abridged version of shape building capability like the one available in Illustrator. Presently we (at least I !) use Pen tool in Photoshop create some placeholders for putting shaped text in .psd files, which is a bit clumsy and many times not accurate, so a shape building capability will be a good addition.BTW, can the frame creating functionality be used for defining path? If so, please let me know.
Right now, Apple Magic Trackpad has no settings to control Photoshop zoom in/out speed. Other third party devices like Wacom Intuous Pen have Photoshop-dedicated control options. Without such controls, trying to zoom in/out in Photoshop is chaotic, extreme, and unhelpful when using the Apple Magic Trackpad as the main input device.Please consider adding dedicated UI for Photoshop zoom in/out via Apple Magic Trackpad. Thank you.
Before I could select all pictures and use noise reduction on all pictures together which I selected, but now it doesn't work and I need to add it one by one but that takes so long. I don't have time for that. Please I want to use noise reduction on all selected pictures again. Who can help me? Thanks in advance! P.s. when you have a solution in Dutch, I prefer that :-)
Include a rectangular gradient tool and/or a polygonal selection tool in RAW for reducing the brightness of a window in a room. This would reduce my need for opening as layers.
Pull Liquify out of the external window entirely... it would be much more useful integrated into the native UI. Add a liquify button to the Tools toolbar and ditch it from the Filter menu. Having access to my typical brush-resizing shortcuts would be a lifesaver! It just makes more sense... All of the buttons and tools in the Liquify panel could easily fit in the "Options" toolbar that runs across the top of the software. If any excess buttons wouldn't fit in the top Options toolbar, a Liquify panel could be created if necessary. This is my #1 idea for the next version of Photoshop. There is no reason for Liquify to open a new window... none at all. Not anymore at least, if there ever was one.
Using apple’s trackpad in Photoshop is great; 2-finger gestures work exactly as expected:• pinch to zoom is smooth, infinitely variable, and intuitive • 2 finger swiping pans the image across the screen naturally, and with no friction, and in any x,y direction But these same gestures in Bridge are clumsy to the point of being almost useless:• 2 finger swipes up and down somehow zoom the image in, and in drastic, huge jumps. I’ve often gone from 100 to 800% in one stuttery motion• 2 finger swipes left and right are somehow exactly the same as up and down• pinch-to-zoom is currently possible, but it’s stuck in these same uselessly-quantized jumps. I want arbitrary zoom! Please rewrite the full screen preview behavior, so that I can use standard Apple Trackpad inputs just as I can do in Photoshop - and just as they work in Apple’s own programs. Thank you
So... one of the best Photoshop tools I've used for decades for color correction has been replaced overnight by a duplicate of "Color Balance." I can't simply no longer correct individual colors as I did intuitively before. Why has a tool that worked perfectly been destroyed? The change has been so disastrous and counterintuitive that I can only think it's a silly programming error!
Hi!Layer Comps has a control over Layer/Smart Object:1. Visibility2. Position3. Appearance4. Selections for Smart Objects Current state of a control we have over Layer CompsSuggestion for Toggle Layer Comps SizeBut something that is super missing and I myself and my team needs all the time is a control overSIZE - Toggle Layer Comp SizeSo please, let us choose if the Layer Comp will save a size of a Layer or Smart Object. This will always be something that will save time and file size. Also, a lot less clicks. We are working with 15 states with over 1500 layers minimum every day. Also, are constantly working with previews for Desktop, Mobile Portrait, Mobile Landscape, Ipad format and all these categories has 15+ screens resolutions. It is much more easier if there is an option to save a size of a layer for a preview for lot of these sizes. We were trying a lot alternatives for 15 years. and nothing can do this functions instead.So please add Toggle Layer Comp Size as an option for Laye
When the Face-Aware Liquify was added to the Liquify filter a long time ago,there was no option to reset individual value, and it could only be entered manually as 0.In both lightroom and the adjustment layer in photoshop, you can reset the by double-clicking slider ControllerPlease add this feature to the Liquify filter.
I request to add feature of spell check while typing in photoshop, illustrator, indesign etc. This may make the apps a little more bulkier, but this will free the users from consulting other dictionary programmes. So, it will be worth it!
When creating a mask in Camera Raw on a smart object, the mask doesn’t scale when transforming the size of the smart object. So this causes me to have to delete all the masks, recreate them and then applying all the Camera Raw edits. So when I select a face, eyes, hair and mouth, make it greyscale, it’s blatantly obvious that the mask doesn’t resize.
