I often have to use huge layer stacks order to be able to make quick changes on the fly for clients who change their minds. As such, any extra tricks to organise and recognise layers at a glance is a massive help.

Grouping layers is fine and CAPITALISING written labels helps too. The thing I use the most though are the color labels, of which there are only seven (or eight if you count none at all). I have a system whereby each color has a consistent specific purpose, which leaves me just two alternate ones to switch between for random labelling. Why just limit them to seven? Sure, by all means keep the default colors, but why not have the option to access swatches and/or indeed apply any color you choose? Ideally I would like to assign, say, different shades of one or another to indicate subtle differences in meaning. What better way is there to organise things at a glance?  In the Foundry’s “Nuke” for example, you can create labels of any color at all in your node tree. SO useful.

Hey... Instead of messing around with Photoshop, adding 3D that can be better done with other software, or more web based stuff, how about addressing the core program? We should be able to warp more than one layer at once with a selection and multiple layers chosen. We also don't need a separate window opened when we liquify something. It should be able to be carried out within the layer and with other layers visible while we liquify. Come on guys, we've moved on since 15 years ago!

Hi

We are users and do not work for Adobe. You can put in a feature request to Adobe here: https://feedback.photoshop.com/

It's best to make each feature a separate request.

...And by the way, instead of [cursing removed by moderator] around with 3D & web nonsense, why don't you take another look at the core aspect of the program? Why can't we warp more than one layer at a time? Why does Liquify need a separate window, instead of doing the business within the layer relative to any other layer we can see. Come on you guys, this hasn't changed for 15 years!
