Throughout all time until today my option click usage of the paint brush would allow me to sample and fill my foreground color rapidly.  Today it is suddenly sampling the background color for some unknown reason.  Is there a setting for this that anyone knows about, or is this actually a program bug?     Thanks ...

I recently upgraded to Photoshop 2024.  In the new version, the default use of the green + button in the top left corner of a file window has switched from the classic MacOS input of "reisze window to match its content" to the newer "enter and exit full screen mode".  This is both unnecessary as the letter f in Photoshop already toggles among the 3 full screen modes, and it's also actually a trap - since Photoshop doesn't have any way to exit that window from full screen mode once I’ve clicked the familiar green button (expecting it to do what it’s always done).   Please upgrade Photoshop so that the green button reverts back to its traditional functionality? Or at least please make a way to exit full screen mode once I’ve accidentally activated it?    Thank you   ... View more

I'm having an issue on 2 of my M1 macbook pro's where Photoshop has a bug when turning on and off layer visibility for folders.     One mac runs Mac OS 12.6.5, and the other has the most up to date version of the OS.  They are both running Photoshop 24.7.0, though I've had this issue intermittently for years...   Large squares of the display will update as I turn the eyeball on and off, but large square sections also will not update as I toggle the eyeball.  And sometimes they become out of sync, where quarters of the screen will be on and then I click the eyeball and the opposing quarters turn on - the original quarters turn off.     Zooming fixes the issue, and the issue is most likely to happen at 100% zoom     In the attached video, it appears that the problem goes away after a second, but that is rearely the case.  It often persisits until you zoom in or out. ...

Is there a way to asign any key command to open and highlight the clone source angle text entry field in Photoshop 24.6?  I love using the clone source angle in my work, and I find that the most time consuming part is using the pointing device to leave my sampling region and go click on the clone source angle text box when I need to align my source and destinations.     Is there a way to set up a key command or function key to select the clone source angle text box, so that I can just start using the arrow keys right away as soon as I want a different alignment, without having to go look and move my stylus away from my sampling project?  ...

When using the Auto Align feature of Photoshop, is there a way to forbid the function from changing the geometry of the frames it is aligning?     I use the Auto Align feature primarily for focus stacking product photos.  Is there a way to limit the function to only those transformations that preserve the geometry and aspect ratio of the layers?  This would help eliminate many problems where the align function gets confused. The function gets distracted by possible operations such as key-stoning and stretching corners, which are never valid solutions to my alignment needs.     Please see an example of an error in my screenshots. ...

Bridge 13.0.1.583 has removed the ability to have 2 bridge windows open.  Please add this feature back.     I understand that Adobe has added tabs to Bridge windows; which I'm sure is great for some people.  But the tabs don't let you browse 2 folders side by side to visually compare them.  So please keep the tabs, but also allow users to press Command N or to right click and ask for a folder to be opened in a new Bridge Window too.   Thank you. ...

For about a decade (in many versions of Bridge for Mac os - from CS2 on up to the latest version) I've been observing that bridge gets really confused when you browse through the files in a stack.     Sometimes things go well, but often if you play through the stack and pause part way through, then click - the whole stack sort of explodes, and Bridge looses its grasp on weather the stack is open or closed.  And even if you use the Colapse All Stacks menu item, the problem comes back when you click on that stack, or arrow past it with the arrow keys.  Please see the video.     The problem has gotten Much better in recent versions, but it's not gone completely.     The only way to fix a broken stack is to select it, then upgroup from stack, then make a new stack out of it.  Bridge is an awesome tool... please fix this bug.   ...

Please switch out the integerized scrolling in Bridge, which only lets you scroll in disjointed whole-photo jerks, for the smooth scrolling every other app allows.  It's actually hard to understand the scrolling that's happening when I scroll in Bridge because of this integerized, jerky scroling that Bridge enforces.     It would be much easier on the user if the scrolling was smooth just like all other scrolling experiences (at least in MacOS and Photoshop) ...

I often spend long enough hunting through the preferences tab in Photoshop that it makes me seriously consider how much I really want to change a preference.     In mac os preferences, however, I just go right in and search for what I want.  I never even try to hunt it down manually; the process is so simple and fast.  Please impliment this in Photoshop. ...
