Photoshop

I updated to Photoshop version 22.5.0 and just noticed that File > Export > Export As has a majorly dumbed down JPEG quality menu. Photoshop is for professionals. Having accurate control over quality is import for optimizing to a small file size. Giving a few choices (and not even telling us what quality they are) is not acceptable for a pro app. I know for now I can go into prefs and use the legacy version, but please bring back the quality percentage!   I also posted this on the Photoshop Feedback website which I think is a more appropriate place to discuss this, but wanted to see what other people think. It's probably best to comment there so Adobe knows. Photoshop Feedback: Bring back JPEG quality percentage to Export As dialog    {Moderator edited title - PS-71391}

Love the new turntable feature. But it feels like its missing a feature to export to AE.That would be very cool!

I would like to show the actions listed in the Action panel with different colors similar to what I am able to achieve with menu items. I believe this used to be possible, but I can not find out how to achieve this feature. I do not want the actions displayed in button mode. I want to see the list as shown in the figure below.  

This is needed urgently! The skin smoothing filter should have been designed to include the neck and chest area from the beginning. It's useless without it! Who doesn't have a neck???? Once can't apply skin smoothing to the face alone and leave put the neck. Especially for women, older people. Arms would be nice to include as well. You guys need to design these filters holistically. Please add at least the neck and chest areas to the skin smoothing filter as soon as possible. It's been asked here before. How can you ignore this? Your response is much appreciated. Thank you!

Heya, so for context, I'm a digital media major in my collage, I also love drawing using photoshop, so I want to formaly ask for a new feature to be added in photoshop. I know you can make custom guides in photoshop using the rulers, so I'd like to ask if we have have a form of guide presets, for example I'd like to be able to scroll over to guides, click on a bottun and I suddenly have a rule of 3's guide up and on my canvas, this will be handy for compositing/drawing backgrounds for my comics, or for aligning groups of characters in a sort of photographic sense. another preset that would be nice to have, is a golden ratio preset, this can be helpful for illustating flowers, and other things. It would also be nice to be able to have both an auto snap feature, for example if I have a blank canvis it'll automatically align itself to the whole canvis, and a Manual set feature, so I can manually get a rule of 3 guide or a golden ratio guide, in a small section of the canvas of my choosing

I hate to float the idea of adding yet another warning/nag popup to Photoshop, however, this should have been there since Actions were first added to Photoshop.    I am proposing that when a new Action Set is created, that a pop-up window be triggered warning the user that unless the set is saved to .atn file, that the action is only temporary and may be lost/reset.   This proposed nag screen would have a "don't show again" checkbox. New users don't appreciate this fact and need to be warned at least once. Knowledgeable users can simply check the box to ignore.   The forum is littered with "lost actions" topics, which could have been avoided by explicitly making this point.   So many wasted hours of end-user work in recreating lost Actions could be saved with this simple warning. So much frustration that could have been avoided.   Users should read the manual, but this clearly isn't the case.   Examples topics to add weight to this request (and there

The performance of brush tool is a disaster for artists using photoshop to create illustrations, latest version of photoshop is so sluggish brush tool feels like dragging mud. (Even after smoothness to 0). This needs to be fixed it’s serious we are using Photoshop for our jobs, Adobe do your work please, Ps version 27.6 and still a disaster of a brush tool. 

Would be great to be able to toggle a layer in PSD so it is a guide layer and not part of the output of the file, similar to what we can do with layers in AE.

Photoshop supports about 20 formats, but I only use 4 or 5 of them. It's bugged me since 5.5 to have to fish for jpeg somewhere in the middle of the list. Can the file formats get arranged by most commonly used? And maybe allow us to remove stuff like targa and large file format that nobody uses.

One thing I would find super valuable would be enhanced brush controls in Photoshop. I know there are mixer brushes, but those don't achieve what I would like.  I would love:- Ability to have texture rotate and change size while drawing- Customize how much a brush multiplies or other adjustments- ability to add a smear type of function to brushes so that they smear in real time- overall more control of outcome 

Why is webP not available under Save for web? this would make the work of web developers easier./Ewa Catewicz

Remove tool needs a shortcut key toggle to turn on off 'remove after each stroke' and or a modifier key held while using the remove tool to enable or disable the 'remove after each stroke'. The having to go up to click the little square to turn on or off is a pain.

New Guide: Please change back the add guide feature to default to the measurement system the file is set up with! I use guides a lot for print formatting and have a shortcut set up, and the input windows changed with the last update. It also used to automatically let you type into the "Position" box, but you now have to click it to start typing, and you have to specify the unit of measurement if you want the guide placed with something other than pixels. 

Overview: Add the ability to select objects in a document using a natural language text prompt — for example: "blue shirt", "all yellow cars", "the person on the left". This would allow selecting specific objects by their visual description rather than manually using lasso, color range, or other existing tools.Requested functionality:Select a single object by text description Select multiple matching objects simultaneously (e.g. "all red apples")Why this is different from existing tools:Select Subject — selects the dominant subject automatically, no control over which object Color Range — selects by color only, not by object type or context Object Selection Tool — requires manual click/drag, no text inputNone of the current tools allow describing what you want to select in natural language.Use case example: A retoucher working on a product photo wants to isolate a specific clothing item — for example a brown jacket — without manually tracing it. Typing "brown jacket" should produce an

With AVIF being supported in modern web browsers the need for AVIF as a save as option or export to option would be very helpful.  For those of us that still use Photoshop as a primary graphic editor (even for simple web sites) this will become more and more important as JPG's are replaced.

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
