I think we should get a function that gives us the ability to record a timelapse of our work like in Clip Studio Paint. Additionally, it would be nice if there was a way to track exactly how much time we've spent inside of a file, since it's easy to forget enabling different programs for each of these purposes.
Photoshop truly is not complex at all. I also don't see how adding a feature that one of their biggest competitors has would drastically add to the complexity of the program.
@Sofiamins Art most professionals use third party solutions to track time and do timelapse screen recording. There are solutions that can automate time tracking more effectively with all your software/file usage instead of one-offs in each application.
Yes, I am aware there are third party solutions to this, but seeing these extremely simple yet super handy features built into other art programs makes me wonder why a company as big as Adobe has never thought of it. Ibis Paint shows a little number with each project telling you how long you worked on it, without you having to open any other software. Procreate does this too. It's not a big deal to most, but to me and anyone else with the memory of a fish it might be a life saver. I've already enabled a third party solution for this now, but like I said, just an idea, nothing more.
That's because it isn't. My judgement comes from a very basic point of view and from a means of comparison. I see it with the competitors, I don't see it with them, I wonder why. Simple as that.
I think there was a mix up here. When "complex" was mentioned, I thought it was implicated that the use of the program would become more complex, which would not be the case for me because I am very familiar with Photoshop, so I said it wasn't complex. If you meant coding wise, then I apologize, since I do not know anything about programming and thought that adding a tiny window that shows the amount of time you've spent inside a file would not be a difficult addition. If I am wrong about that, I am sorry. And about the screenrecording feature, again I don't know how hard it would be to add that programming wise, but I have yet to find third party software that captures the canvas and the canvas only, that also doesn't make my PC sound like a jet engine. If you can recommend me one of those, please do.
I am not a programmer myself, either, but as for the screen-reording:
I am afraid that could be a tricky feature for the data-valume alone that would need to be genereated/stored for large images.
At least if you want to get a recording at full resolution, regardless of magnification on screen.
Maybe you can motivate acquaintances who agree with you to add their vote to the thread; this would not be a guarantee for consideration/implementation of the feature/s, but might create more attention at Adobe.
