  1. Display resolution - custom field in Document Setup and the links panel.

    Display resolution should be a custom field in Document Setup and the Links panel, and should set the default scaling of placed images in the document.

    Right now, linked or embedded 'RasterItems' have a default scaling resolution of 72ppi, and you can't change it. But 72ppi is an anachronism, it doesn't reflect most use cases.

    The impact is that placed images appear in the document much too large, and it wastes a lot of extra clicks to resize placed images. That could all be avoided if there was a simple way to change the default display resolution to match the…

  2. Select "Replace" by default once a clipped linked element is selected

    This is a very simple fix for something extremely frustrating: once a clipped linked image is selected (using the direct selection tool), the importing option should be to Replace the element by default (instead of having to manually select it EVERY SINGLE TIME). If nothing is selected, the logical default behavior then would have the Replace option unchecked.

  3. File Sharing Notifications

    My client and I are making edits to the same file that is being saved/stored in Creative Cloud. We currently notify each other by email or text when we are making edits. Is there any way a feature can be added to post a notification on screen/within the app that the other person is currently editing the file when the other individual logs in or opens the file in order to avoid overwriting each others edits?

  4. Use Precision Cursors

    I just got a screen tablet. The "Use Precision" cursor is too big. The X gets in my way in the same manner as the brush cursor.

    I'd like to see several options aside from just an X. A fine reticle, a simple dot or circle, etc. Additionally, pls incorporate a sizing option for each fine precision icon.

  5. Little display problem with GPU enabled

    Hi, I bought an Imac 27" with 5K Retina display.

    I noticed that when I zoom some vector shape, the lines are not too clean. They seem like bitmapped. When I click Command+Y (show outlines) and I click it again, the lines appear clean. I uploaded a little video about my problem.

    I wrote in Adobe community, they suggested me to turn off GPU Performance. If i do that the images appears fine but Illustrator become too slow.

    So they recommended me to report my issue here.

    Thanks for your time.

  6. Add 16px and 20px to the font-size drop down

    With base rem being 16px, 16px has become the standard for readable text on a website. It would be good UX to have more base 4 standard font-sizes in the font-size select drop down.

    7px, 9px, 11px and 21px are essentially useless to me but they have a seat in the dropdown, you could easily replace/swap a couple of them out for 16px and 20px. I don't know many designers, printers, or developers that use odd pixel sized fonts.

  7. We need Watermark Panel

    I have suffered several times from clients who have steals my work and doesn’t pay the remaining 50% of the contract because it is a tedious job to make changes to a design and add, each time I need to export the artboard a watermark.

    It would be great to have a panel or a checkbox to apply a watermark to the entire artboard and that way we defend ourselves against bad clients easier.

    And if we can add our custom watermark, much better.

  8. Make "Increase Diameter" and "Decrease Diameter" hotkeys work for Warp / Bloat / Wrinkle and other tools

    Other tools (eg. 'Blob Brush Tool', Blob Brush Erasor Tool', etc.) take the default shortcuts for scale up and down. On my setup that's ] for increase size and [ for decrease size. Multiple tools share those keys, and that's great.

    The Warp tool doesn't do this - you have to manually go into the tool preferences to change the scale. This breaks flow and wastes time.

    The Warp Tool is a nice idea. It would be a very good tool - if it was fully implimented.

    While we're at it, it could also be improved if it had an…

  10. Error message – Wacom driver (since updated to version 25.0)

    My old Wacom-Board Intuos 3 PTZ-631W still works pretty good and I never had trouble with it while using Adobe products until I updated to version 25.0 on October, 22nd. Yet I had several crashes. Unfortunately Wacom is not providing new drivers, so the recommended solution in the error message does not work.
    Do you have any other idea or maybe you could solve this in the next version.

  11. App icons

    Can you please update the icons for your apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, etc.) to a new design and color scheme? I do NOT like the same colors for the icons that 2020/2021 versions use. I'm forced to find replacement icons for your apps. At least include some alternative icons for your products.
    Thank you.

  13. Two Inconsistencies: current document name centered in the app header, Duplicate Layer in the context menu

    I have always found Adobe apps to be consistent across all of the apps. But I noticed two in consistencies in Illustrator, and they bug me. 1. I'd love to see my file name centered at the top of the application. 2. I'd love to be able to right click in the Layer panel to duplicate a layer.

    Of course, let me know if I am over looking something.

  15. Windows start menu tile color bug in windows version 20H2

    So after updating my windows version to 20H2 (2009),
    I found out both of the PCs have the same problem of the weird background color of the pinned tile.
    See the picture to have a better understanding.
    I don't know whether this is a windows or adobe's problem.
    But it only happens on adobe apps

  16. Auto trace for procreate images please and thanks

    Please make an auto trace for procreate. It would be a total solid! And it would enable me to get more done and price my work cheaper for my clients.

  17. Embed locked photos + objects (without unlocking them first)

    Currently, we must unlock an image before embedding it. An example workflow where this in inconvenient is if I am preparing a doc for sharing and I would like to embed all images in a file for convenience. Or perhaps I have many small linked files that I want to embed for ease, like a complex illustration with many bitmaps.
    Currently I do this:
    1/I select all images in my links palette.
    2/ click embed
    3/ receive alert that AI won't embed any locked images. (either I prefer them locked or I locked and forgot)
    4/ I unlock all images.…

  18. Bitte die Diagramme modernisieren. Altes Thema, ich weiß. Charts, Charts, Charts.

    Der Ansatz von CC 2017 war doch gut, da bitte weiter machen. Moderner, mit

  19. Reflect in Transform window

    In the Transform window (Window > Transform), you can resize, rotate, move, shear, but not reflect. How come ? Why not systematically give the user the choice between window commands and menu commands? After all these years?

  20. Illustrator 2020 tarda demasiado en cerrar los archivos

    Se tarda hasta 4 segundos en cerrar un archivo ya guardado, suelo abrir 10 archivos al mismo por mi trabajo y es insoportable esperar a que cierren sin poder hacer nada más, en Windows 10.
