Photoshop

Hi there! I am a concept artist and game texture painter, and both me and my employer studio choose Photoshop for our content creation and have done so for years. I like Photoshop's "Recent Colours" as a feature, but I wish it wasn't hiding in the Swatches and Shapes windows: swatches and shapes are good for graphic design, but are not really relevant in a painter's workflow.   I like to reduce the number of panels I keep open as I paint, so I propose two options to improve access to recent colors:Option A) Adding "Recent Colors" to other tools in Photoshop. Adding to 1. The Color panel (pictured); 2. The Color Picker (pictured); 3. maybe even the Brushes panel (not pictured, that was an afterthought that came to me while I was posting 🙂 ). There might be other logical places. Alternatively, for Option B), review this recent Ideas post from EdTechLiam, who proposed that "Recent Colours" gets a Panel of its own. https://community.adobe.com/t5/p

This is a post written in pure fury. I spent over an hour carefully crafting a mask using the "Select and Mask" feature. But with a single accidental press of the ESC key, everything was erased. Instantly.No confirmation. No undo. Nothing. If this is intentional behavior, then it's a massive disrespect to the time and energy of creators worldwide. This feature is as destructive as Frieza’s Death Beam. At the very least, please implement a confirmation dialog — something like “Are you sure you want to cancel?” That tiny addition could save countless users from despair. We creators ask for a safeguard, not a miracle. Please fix this. Signed, with the collective rage of warriors across the planet.

Dear Adobe team, you must see there is a growing demand for big file use in Photoshop. It is nice, that we have the possibility to save as PSB, but most other tools which i have to work with do not support PSB nor PSD. While Photoshop can read, open and edit BigTiff files, it is unable to save them. We are almost at the and of 2020, please make this a possibility. There are tools out there, that can do math operations Photoshop can not. Aswell as there is Photoshop, that can do things the other tools are unable to. Please connect this by allowing to save with the BigTiff file format. It would certainly expand the possibilities of what we can do with your software. http://bigtiff.org/

There are often times when I have a product box, and for the sake of composition, it would look much better if the box was facing left, but the photography I have points to the right.  It would be easy to just flip the box horizontally and improve the composition 100x, excep there's a bunch of writing and graphics on it, and it takes time to change the perspective of every single graphic, piece of text, or other detail that would make it obvious the box was flipped.  It would be very helpful if Photoshop had a smart flip that would flip the object, but detect the graphics/text (or even give an opportunity to select the elements that can't be reversed) and keep those elements facing the correct direction, but change the perspective/angles to match the newly flipped object.  

Please add a lens profile for the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f1.5 II Leica M-mount. It'd also be nice if we could manually add non-Leica lenses to the metadata. 

I was just chatting with a group of other artists about the need to convert a color into transparency sometimes, and we've all needed such a function, then somebody said that in GIMP there's just a simple button for it, "Color to Alpha."  It does exactly what we need and very easily.  In Photshop this is possible but very cumbersome, having to use the channels to make a selection, then apply a mask. Googling leads to 10 year old articles and people recommending plugins.  But yeah, I'd just like to suggest this as an official feature request. You know how in Photoshop you can use Replace Color?  And you can pick a color, and vary the fuzziness of the selection, then change the color to something else?  It would be just like that I imagine, but instead of changing the color, you increase the opacity of those pixels.

would be pretty cool if I could detect and extract text to paste into a document

Sou usuária do Photoshop Web com plano pago e venho, por meio desta, manifestar minha insatisfação com a recente remoção do recurso de Nitidez Automática (Sharpen) das Ações Rápidas. Esse era um recurso extremamente útil, prático e essencial no meu fluxo de trabalho, principalmente para ajustes rápidos em imagens promocionais e retratos.Desde a atualização de junho de 2025, notei que essa funcionalidade foi removida ou restrita de forma não transparente, mesmo para contas premium. Tentei seguir todas as instruções e atalhos possíveis, inclusive utilizando imagens JPG com compressão, e ainda assim o recurso não aparece.Gostaria de solicitar, com todo respeito, que considerem a reintegração da nitidez automática no painel de Ações Rápidas do Photoshop Web, pois essa funcionalidade fazia parte do motivo pelo qual escolhi manter um plano pago da plataforma.Entendo que simplificações na interface são necessárias às vezes, mas recursos essenciais não deveriam ser retirados sem oferecer alter

I can see the power of AI and frankly use it every day. In Photoshop I use the Generative Fill at least 20, sometimes even more times per day which helps a lot. I would like to see a real upscale feature [link removed by moderator] which does incredible job at preserving details while upscaling the image really nice. I've tryied all the build in Photoshop upscaling modes like Preserve Details 2.0 and what not, but nothing made actual difference and they all suck. It happens quite often I need to bump up an image so I can make the best use of it.So please do you're best and add a real AI Upscale future. I mean like a working one.Thank you!

It would be cool to adjust the density of the curve mask from this window)

I think it would be a better idea to apply the name of the Neural Filter within the Layer Panel, rather than just displaying "Neural Filter" for each element.  It takes time to open each filter to edit and you dont know which one is which, until you open them, or toggle the eye.  It would be much better to see the name at a glance.

Hello everyone, I think that the Gradient Map Properties window should have a button that reorders the Gradient map stops based on luma values (maybe with variations based on brightness...).

See this thread for a fulld description of the issue along with screen recordings:https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/window-behavior/m-p/15321221#M865058 Between version 22.2 and 25.12 something changed in the behavior of tabbed winodows with a boarder around the image. Prior to 22.2 if I had multiple images open in a window and pulled the winodw area wider than the image to create a border, the border size would remain consistent from tab to tab. Now the window size jumps around all over the place when going from tab to tab. At the very least you should have a setting to make "window size consistent" when you have a window with multiple tabs.

In the Generative Fill workflow, Photoshop always shows the Enhance Detail button—even when it can’t actually add detail. After clicking, I often get the message “Variation is too small to enhance.” Could you: Hide the button whenever enhancement isn’t possible, or Leave the button visible but add a small red indicator to show when detail can be enhanced? Either approach would save a click and avoid confusion

 My company photographs antique books everyday. We do 80-200 images per day where we need to "Select Subject" the seemingly simple rectangular shape of a book to put it on a false white BG.  However,  the selections aren't perfect enough to batch/automate. Yes, we sometimes use the new Mask tool in Bridge, but it doesn't always work. Yes, we've tried diff color paper back drops to improve the contrast/selection sensing. Still annoying, we end up hand refining the simple selection of a book. Every page sometimes.    I imagine it can't sense our objects because  "Select Subject" was trained for humans/landscapes? This could be a good improvement for Product Photographers? Perhaps you guys could expand your AI work to create a "Select *AI Command*" ? That way we could give the AI clues on what we need it to see/select in the image? Ex. "Select *Separate the cream colored book with dark brown edges from the white paper backdrop"  Let's make

Hello Adobe team,I'm requesting a desperately needed feature: the ability to COMPLETELY DISABLE the crosshair on the Clone Stamp tool.I've been working with Photoshop for over 25 years, and every single day I'm forced to deal with this highly distracting, irritating alignment cursor that severely disrupts my professional workflow.I understand the crosshair is useful for alignment — but it shouldn't be mandatory all the time. Giving users the choice to customize or entirely hide it would be an easy implementation that would solve a long-standing pain for many professionals.Please consider this seriously. It's genuinely frustrating that after so many Photoshop versions, there is still no option to remove or customize this ridiculously intrusive crosshair.Thank you!

I have spent years going back and forth in the slider to get the right size of brush, especially as it pertains to dodging and burning, erasing, etc. The increments jump in huge chunks when done manually (the keyboard arrow button is too tiny an amount for each click) and some, where they land (e.g., 1101... 01?), suggest there is some sort of predetermined amount. An accumulation of literally hours has been spent selecting the precise size in the upper left slider before applying the action. All these sophisticated things keep coming on line -- which are great -- but I have to complain a little.

In Illustrator the brushes, styles, swatches and symbols are stored with the file. Sometimes I have some brush preset in my computer but not in another computer. It will be great if we could store some brushes with the file, then we could use them in any computer. 

HiI've recently moved from Windows to Mac and because of this I’ve also moved from Photoshop CS4 (it did everything I needed it too for a very long time) to Photoshop 2025. In CS4, when minimising document windows within Photoshop, they would be constantly visible as tabs at the bottom of the work space, making it really easy to click on any that you would need to work on / switch between / see what you have open at a glance. But now, in the 2025 version, they just disappear. To see them, I have to 'right click' the PS icon in the dock, click 'show all windows' and select the document window I want to re-instate it OR click on 'window' and scroll down to it there... and then repeat for both if I want to re-instate multiple. So, several clicks for each method as opposed to the one click and visibility of files of CS4.So, my suggestion for an improvement would be to go back to the CS4 way of showing minimised document windows.

Currently, Photoshop only allows tool shortcuts to be assigned using English (QWERTY) keyboard characters. For example, the Move Tool can only be assigned to the “V” key, even when using a different keyboard layout, such as Korean. It would be highly beneficial if users could assign shortcuts based on their native keyboard layouts. For instance, allowing the Move Tool shortcut to be set to the Korean "ㅍ" key, which occupies the same physical position as “V” on a QWERTY keyboard. This would improve accessibility and workflow efficiency for users who primarily work in their local language environments. I hope Adobe considers implementing this feature to better support global users.

To be honest, I use Adobe programs for work, however, I wish I had them with me everywhere, I'am an Android user and what I see is that the company has the same kind of positioning as 8 years ago with the Android system , and with that, they prefer to invest more in the IOS system, of course the Apple has advantages due to hardware and security, but many brands who use Android system, it has evolved in this security issue and even with better processors that make the performance of the devices and of better tablets. Isn't it time for the company to rethink this concept of supplying the products to a single public and specific market? Why not develop an Creative Clouds with Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and Fresco for Android?

 The Spot Healing Brush was a breathrough tool in Photoshop and remains to be one of my favorites. However, it does not support a feature that the "regular" Healing Brush has: Sample Current & Below layers. Instead, it can optionally Sample All Layers [or only current layer] as a checkbox. Can Sample Current & Below layers be added as an option for the Spot Healing Brush, similar to the Healing Brush's drop-down menu implementation?  This allows one to place hand-drawn retouching notes on a layer above the retouching layer. The current workaround is to manually toggle the visibility of layers above, which is not efficient. Screenshots of the current (2025 & Beta / 26.5.0 & 26.6.0) UI options attached. Thanks much!

It's too weak. It needs to be more versatile. Maybe even allow airbrush to be enabled so the blur effect can build-up like water on a watercolor painting.

Selection Snapping Request for Photoshop on iPad Request: Add the ability to turn snapping on or off for selection tools (e.g. Lasso, Marquee, Object Selection) in Photoshop for iPad. Current issue: Users currently cannot disable snapping when making selections, which affects precision — especially when working near edges or complex compositions. Expected behavior: Just like in the desktop version, users should have access to: Snap toggle Snap To > Layers, Guides, Grid, etc. Ideally available in the gear/settings menu when a selection tool is active. This would give users more control and accuracy, especially for fine retouching, cutouts, or composite work. Thanks!

As a graphic designer I regularly use Photoshop. When using the Selection tool sometimes I accidentally don't select pixels / my hand slips etc.There is a current feature that automatically opens a tab in your browser every time you do this for "help" – it takes you to a page called "Adjust Pixel Selections". I know what I am doing and it is extremely annoying to be taken out of the app every time my hand slips and this happens.  I can't find anywhere to turn this off and stop it from happening. Can anyone help?
