Adobe can't remove the 2gb limit of a psd file because of backward compatibility, but Adobe can develop a new. psd like default file format with higher compression e. g.. psdx for current and new versions, if a person needs to open the file in a previous version they will have to convert it, but the new version of Photoshop would have the option to save in the older. psd file format, but. psdx will be the default. As cameras file sizes increase, the standard. psd file format will be useless, so they have to develop the new file format asap. If Canon comes out with the 75mp or more RF5-S not even a simple edit could be saved in. psd making the file system obsolete as Sony comes back with a higher resolution and then Canon again and so on. By 2030 we will have 1GP (Giga Pixels) cameras on our phones LOL
Yes I know that some have Medium Format 100mp files, but for their work they mostly work in. psb already so they won't have an issue but my guess is that they would love to be able to save that 4gb. psb in a 1. 5gb. psdx file. psdx file extension is for reference only, Adobe could name it whatever they want as long as it's more compressed and the default file for new PS versions.

PiXimperfect one more thing is that we can not create brushes with some specific colors like a few days back I wanted to create a neon brush but photoshop create a brush in white, black, and grey as it will show up or it will not but we can not add a specific color to it which want there when we pain. eg. when we see neon there is a white color in middle but when we try to create neon brush we can not add static color like that. and if I can create a neon brush and paint it then it would be great instead of creating multiple layers for just one effect which we can not modify later on in just one go. we have to make a change in every layer. yeah, we can make a group and add a mask but that's not the point right.
maybe while creating a brush we can add separate later for static color, so when we save that brush we can choose those layers as we want them to be static.
so can please ask adobe for this if it is possible to add some static colors. Instead of creating so many layers we can just create a brush or choose a brush and paint it the way we want.

Ability to pan across the document even if its size is smaller than the screen (without using the F-mode.
Possibility to select a foreground and a background patterns with the mixer brush tool and switch between them using X.
Symmetry for the mixer brush (but I understand that this would slow photoshop considerably)
more than 10 mandala symmetries (16 is good - yes I know you can use 8 and draw twice.
Possibility to select and move complete edges when warping
Automatically creating swatches from an image?
Make a modifier/shortcut to transform selection
Why the hell there's a useless free transform selectable option while in free transform mode?
PERFOOOOORMANCE
vector layers and better smoothing similar to Clip studio paint?
mixing brushes similar to paint tool sai?

What photoshop is missing are instanced masks and instanced layers, instances are a big thing in 3d dcc programs, you have one asset and duplicate it as an instance, you can still change its scale, position and some general properties, but any real change you make to the object itself is shared with all the instances, smart objects are close in concept but not nearly as useful and convenient, the major issue with smart objects is that you have to open them in order to make changes, maybe having the ability to open smart objects in place without opening another document would make them a lot more useful, as if they where groups, something similiar to the what happens in illustrator when you double click a group and get inside another level in the hierarchy.

For #16 (sharpening (with high pass, you can simply just keep a smart object of all layers below merged. Apply necessary filters (hue/sat can be applied as a smart filter by going to Adjustments>hue/sat) and if ever there is a change that needs to be made torn off that sharpening layer, make any necessary changes, merge all layers below, copy that merged later into the sharpening smart object.
This basically acts is a sharpening adjustment layer.
Amen to #12!
#10 (clipping layers to clipped layers. This is what groups/folders are for. Just put everything associated with one mask (sunglasses) into a group with that mask at top. Then create groups for the targeted adjustments that should share similar masks. Easy!

#1 - I believe that there are some performance reasons for this. Color adjustments are trivial but you could have also an all-CPU cores heavy motion blur/shake reduction filter. And you have to wait a lot even without live previews. But maybe they could temporarily freeze bitmap for transformation so in some cases, you would see the final result and in other cases and once done it would be recalculated based on content

Omg could not agree more on increasing the file limit or PSDs! I have some projects that I absolutely must save as PSDs and cannot shrink. So I have to split up my layers and save the bottom third of them as 1 PSD, the next third as a 2nd PSD, etc. Then when I open it I have to open all 3 files and re-assemble them before working.
P. S. I also agree on every single other point. This one's the biggest for me, though!

More features whishes:
- Having Effect Layers like in After Effects to put any effects you want to apply to the whole image (sharpen, blur etc) (sometimes I use After Effects to retouch my still images)
- Having non-uniform feather along the mask border. Again, After Effects has this tool, meaning Adobe has the technology to do it
- Having hardness setting for custom brushes

For me, I think adobe is really gettin behind is with lack of vectorscopes and graphics to adjust color in photosbop and lightroom, like the ones that premiere has. It is so simples and basic, for photographers is essencial and it just upsets me that the programs that adobe have specifically for coloring and photography, doesnt have these graphic

We also need to have a better save dataset to files, currently the variables handling etc still so 2015 like and only supports tab delimited files, support for csv and xls file should be added. Also user should be able to save. png and. jpg files when saving the dataset, so the overall functionality needs to be revamped.

I would love to have an isolate solection button, and save selection option like in 3Ds Max so I would not have to select the same objects over and over again. Also short cuts for alignment, in both Photoshop and Illustration. Illustration already has Isolate Selection actually. Mirror icon on the top panel would also be awesome.

Please, Adobe, before creating new features FINALLY re-do PS core and all the heavily aged features to utilize the processing power current PCs are offering. Namely, proper multithread support and raw GPU shader power.
Not like using one core and maybe the GPU slightly. ;-)

#17. There should be option to select multiple opened documents while we duplicate any layer to other documents. Right now we can duplicate layer at one document at a time. But there should be option to select multiple documents to copy same layer at a same time.

1 Transparent brushes that simply texturize a surface or color.
2 A better system for applying gradients, perhaps similar to Illustrator's gradient mesh.
3 Enhancing the Motion Graphics Potential of Photoshop.
4 Vanishing point directly on the image.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, another Option i wish! Is! The same way u turn 16 Bit Image to 8Bit. - i wish U CAN DO THE SAME FOR 32bit, just convert it to 8bit. we know we will loose color etc but! It seems u cant, Retoucher would appreciate working with 32 bit. /

What if I told you that I could make a plugin for moving adjustment layers into smart filters or smart filters into color adjustments while maintaining blend modes, opacity, and mask? Would it help? (smart filters could still have only one mask)

Bro, For sharpening, I create a group of everything and then turn that group into a smart object, So it's a nested smart object, duplicates the smart object so If I change a nested layer it affects both, and there you have it. :)

Scrubby zoom in Liquify - YES! It's bizarre to have to ask that tools functions consistently within a program, but here we are. Considering 90% of my Photoshop usage is explicitly for the Liquify tool, this would be really nice.

1. How about a keyboard shortcut ditto, feature that repeats the last action 2. When you use a filter you can repeat it using the first option created at the top of the a filter menu: why not at the top of other menus.

I agree, I really really need the individual control for smart filters.
More lens flares
And for clipping mask point, mask instances would be great thing, instead of complicated clipping mask on clipping mask ui
