Transparent Glass Effect Options in Adobe Illustrator
Dear Adobe Team,
I hope you are doing well.
I would like to request a new feature enhancement for Adobe Illustrator that I believe would greatly benefit designers and streamline creative workflows.
Feature Request:
A dedicated Transparent Glass Effect option within Illustrator, offering the ability to apply both plain and textured glass styles directly as an effect.
Currently, achieving a realistic glass look requires multiple manual steps involving opacity adjustments, gradients, blurs, and overlays. A built-in effect—similar to other appearance presets—would save significant time and allow for more consistent results across projects.
Why This Would Help:
Faster creation of modern UI-style and product-render visuals.
Consistent, professional-quality glass effects without complex layer setups.
Enhanced creative control through adjustable texture variations.
This addition would be extremely valuable for designers working in branding, packaging, digital art, and interface design.
Thank you for considering this request. I truly appreciate the continuous innovation Adobe brings to the creative community.
