P: Bring back "Shake Reduction" filter - Removed in Photoshop v.23.3.0

@Mike5FD817752762 

I went to Creative Cloud and went back to the previous version of Photoshop. The filter is still there. I just have to remember not to upgrade to the latest version when reminded to upgrade by Adobe.

You can have multiple versions of PS installed. Turn off automatic updates and choose the option to keep previous versions when you update manually. Multiple versions means 21, 22, 23 — not the dot releases like 23.1, 23.2, 23.3.

Grrr. Often, as today, this filter is the entire reason I open Photoshop.

First, I waste a bunch of time searching for it. Then I google and waste a bunch of time on statements that it's only missing on M1 Macs—I have an Intel, and it used to be there.

Regressions like this and an abusive subscription model. Seems like I really ought to get a refund from April on, since this is NOT what I'm paying for!

@kirsit60499276 The issue of the shake reduction filter not working is specific to M1 based Macs.  The reason the feature is no longer available to you on your Intel based Mac is becuase Adobe completely removed the filter from all platforms starting with version 23.3.  Had Adobe not removed the filter altogether it would work perfectly fine on your Intel based Mac.

Non existence of a feature and the fact that an existing feature doesn't work are two completely different things.  The question is why did Adobe remove the feature from all platforms.  The "official" answer that the filter is not compatible with newer dev platforms provided by Adobe is BS.  It worked just fine on Intel based systems, Mac and Windows, until it was taken away.

So who is benefiting from the feature's disappearance?  I guess it's no longer a black eye from Apple's "Magical" new processor.

I'm on Intel MacBook Pro 2019 and Shake reduction has disappeared for me as well. So this is not an issue for just M1 MacBooks. Disappointed as it was a very useful tool at times.

Right, throw the baby out with the bathwater and stop the subscription and purchase a number of other products. That will show Adobe....

You seen the rate of subscriptions to CC?

https://prodesigntools.com/number-of-creative-cloud-subscribers.html

“So, doing the math and updating for year-end 2021, this gives an estimated new total of 26 million subscribers, up approximately 4 million from last year. Meaning, the run rate of new subscriptions is around 1 million per quarter – adding an average of 10,000+ net new paid members every day for the CC 2022 product line.”

Meanwhile only 23 upvotes you say is “silly”. 

VOTING WITH YOUR $$ IS THE ONLY WAY (not by silly "votes" on this page).

Those of us who've been around Adobe for decades (should) already know that (y)our words of discontent and "upvoting" features to bring back mean absolutely nothing to Adobe (a whole community voted to keep Adobe Muse and they trashed it without consideration of leaving website designers and their clients out in the cold). Those of you new to Adobe just have to look at all the forums and archives to see what a rabbit hole you've gone or are going down (but there's time to get out before you become part of the "collective"!!!). (Now) nothing changes at Adobe except when money is at stake. Chant it with me like a good Adobe Minion;  share price, Share Price, SHARE PRICE!  It used to be otherwise in the early days (1990s) when they actually cared about their users but no more because they sold out long ago.

Our studio's path (and finances) lead us to: Instead of "whining" about what we don't like (too numerous to list here) we just started divesting Adobe products with the goal of completely erasing their software from our workflow by 2025. We started with Premiere Pro and switched over to Davinci Resolve Studio after years of using their full featured free version.  It contains, non linear editing, motion graphics, full featured audio editing and color grading and free lifetime upgrades (at this moment). So we actually dumped THREE Adobe products at once!: Premiere Pro, After Effects and Audition.  The (beyond) amazing part is the Davinci Resolve suite is full featured and absolutely free (minus a few features which only affect large studios need)!  It's best software decision of the decade so far for us. Plus, now we are much more likely to purchase their cameras and hardware because every piece of hardware comes with DR Studio!

As for PS: We're considering using earlier versions of PS for which we have the disks and are on older machines we keep around because Adobe decides to do silly things on a whim like take away (essential) features or make third party plugins unusuable. Don't let Adobe or any other "follower" tell you different. The older versions of PS work perfectly fine if you don't make the mistake and connect to your Adobe account online. Our CS4 ran perfectly on Win 10 until we connected by accident and Adobe intentionally disabled (killed) it. We still have a version running on an older non connected Win 10 rig. 

While we do still need PS (for the time being) due to our 30 years of using it and our huge .psd archive (all going to .tiff), we may switch back to the Corel Graphics Suite which we used extensively in the 90s. Their photo editing software (used to) closely match the UI of PS and did some amazing things PS couldn't. Not sure about it now though. We've tested DxO and also GIMP but weren't overly impressed with their funky UI but that was Pre Pandemic so we'll give them another try at some point. So for now we're begrudgingly stuck with PS because we create complex compositing and we know PS pretty well 😉 and it takes some time to teach an Old Dog...New Tricks...

For RAW we use Nikon NX studio which is 100% free and has far superior RAW/NEF editing. It also has U-Point technology which was developed by Nik Software which is amazing. It's just like being back in the darkroom with all our tools but even better!  Canon has Digital Photo Professional for free but it does not have U-Point tech. I'm not a Canon user so I can't attest to the quality. I've used Adobe RAW (recently) and found it absolutely sucks as it inserts "artifacts" which looks like bar codes in random areas of our images. Thankfully it was not destructive and we could open them in NX Studio.

We just started using the Libre Office suite for every day "office" tasks and also PDF creation. Best of all it's free and we think it's going to supplant Acrobat in the very near future. Acrobat has to be one of the worst pieces of software we've ever used. Such potential but Adobe has no idea how to harness it just doesn't care about it's users.

The links above will take you to the software. Most of what I listed is absolutely free with no "tricks up their sleeve". If you edit video I strongly suggest using either the free version of Davinci Resolve or purchase the Studio Version. We got Davinci Resolve PLUS their speed controller for only $299!

There are so many software solutions out there that are just as good and even better than Adobe Products. You just need to take the time and find what's right for you and if you keep condoning crap companies by just talking and not doing there is no incentive for a company to actually change for the better.

Why I responded to this thread is exactly the reason of this post: I went to access "Shake Reduction" and poof... it was gone. What are you going to do when they take away .psd compatibility down the road? Never say never!

It's all about choice... And now I choose to go away...

Good luck, happy shooting, create amazing images, respect others, be healthy & safe and enjoy life!
