Gripes Addressed by Adobe

After Effects

  1. #1310Why do I still have to do RAM previews in After Effects? And why does AE still do pixel aspect ratio correction by dropping or adding columns of pixels? It's 2008, not 1995, folks. I know you know how to properly scale images without making them look like crap, so why don't you do it in your viewports?
  2. #1881more 3D in after effects.
  3. #1630Support OpenFX plug-ins in AfterEffects (and Photoshop), it's an open standard accepted by almost the entire visual effects industry.
  4. #1573The option to import text layers from PSDs into After Effects as a text layer and not rasterized pixels.
  5. #1979Why can Photoshop import 3D models but After Effects can't? How does that even make sense???
  6. #1332I want to buy After Effects. JUST After Effects. Help me out, willya?
  7. #2332After Effects: Variable feathering on masks. Why I must make sooooo many masks!? In Full HD!? 60 freakin' i!?
  8. #2433I love to scroll through hundreds of layers in After Effects. Layer groups or folders I could collapse or turn off would be more 21st century than a frikkin' nose-over-wall icon!!!! IT'S THE 21st CENTURY!!!
  9. #2561I Love After Effects!
  10. #1280why is Actions feature available in Photoshop but not in After Effects?
  11. #2344After Effects: Syncing animation to audio is important. Why must you make so, so hard?
  12. #3403Can we get inverse kinetics in After Effects already??
  13. #2320After Effects: I'd like use of vast amounts of RAM I've purchased. Why can't you see it? Love- OSX
  14. #6617Make After Effects save a shadow copy of the project automatically before rendering starts, OR make After Effects not crash while rendering. Up to you
  15. #4147Please let me open "legacy" files---I paid for both versions, why can't I open old files with new programs without having my paths be all fricked up.
  16. #1293After Effects automatically comes forward after renders are completed. (disrupting work in other applications)
  17. #1603Make the text tools the same for After Effects as in Photoshop... I keep hitting 'T' and opening opacity!

AIR

  1. #4208Please let us do the shit we could do in Director. Like launch external applications. Or build Xtras - and plug them in.
  2. #5100Yes i know it's impossible but... Can an air app launch an other app or process or file?
  3. #7932Why doesn't AIR come in a Linux version?
  4. #8591Why does the AIR runtime leak so much memory when an application that does nothing runs for 48hrs?
  5. #5309Add more desktop integration?
  6. #5649Make Air Runtime available for Linux
  7. #7819Please either make AIR a fully functioning desktop environment, or stick to web stuff. The middle ground sucks.
  8. #7873Get Webkits SVG back in. Without it, you're as good as IE.
  9. #5961AIR is a great idea. I would love for it to become a standard. I think a way to do this would be to open source it. It's an excellent plattform and you should be pushing it more!
  10. #4276Get proper AIR support for linux
  11. #5328If you accept the fact that AIR is a superfluous addition to an already saturated market, perhaps you could save some money and drop the prices on your other products <3
  12. #8785make AIR to run on 64bit linux machines, please!
  13. #8991Your linux support sucks. Please start supporting us.
  14. #5501is there a business problem air solves? (other then google and sun have something so we should too).
  15. #8969Air needs, components, components, components...
  16. #5152Add native code extensibility.
  17. #9154Adobe AIR for Linux Beta is a good idea and I would like to see it on OpenSolaris. Does the Sun JavaFX package present a problem in making this possible?
  18. #8712Please fix Air for Linux. That means using webcams with V4L 2 and not taking over OpenOffice and a few other apps file extentions .ods .odb etc etc. Other than that I love Air Thanks Adobe

Fireworks

  1. #125Lose the fucking bloat already.
  2. #96Change Fireworks so that font families work correctly. And let me type keyboard letters to search the font list when it's open.
  3. #426Make it so that you can double click on gradient chips to set their colour.
  4. #1038standardized type tool across all apps -- and include table (and bulleted lists) support in that type layout engine. i mean--fireworks is a *web* design tool and can't layout tabular data easily?
  5. #97Please give Fireworks better text handling so I don't have to use all two zillion megs of RAM running Photoshop just to make a simple webpage.
  6. #254God I love Fireworks. Please, please, please don't think that we don't want fireworks with Photoshop out there. We do.
  7. #436Please have an option of turning off the fade-in menus.
  8. #80How about implementing wheel scrolling for the Fireworks panels? Clicking and dragging is a drag.
  9. #79When can you improve the usability of Fireworks? Especially on Mac!
  10. #609Who wants to draw a box with fuzzy edges? Not me. Why does fireworks do this?
  11. #1815Stop anti-aliasing edges in Fireworks randomly. There should never be a "half pixel" on a straight edge.
  12. #1891Don't even think about getting rid of Fireworks
  13. #907Fireworks rocks. DO NOT KILL IT LIKE YOU DID FREEHAND.
  14. #422Fix Fireworks for Mac. You have cost me countless hours of work in crashes.
  15. #1515Please allow me to select a typeface in Fireworks by typing the name of that typeface.
  16. #1446Please love Fireworks.
  17. #1644fireworks is awesome. thanks for keeping it alive. m4cr0m3d14 4eva!
  18. #1653please don't ruin fireworks with your bloat, it's nearly perfect.
  19. #356Why did you make the text editor in Fireworks to be such a load of gash? In fact, why are so many things in the suite such a load of gash?
  20. #1337Give me access to the same tools, effects, etc. in Fireworks as are available in Photoshop. Or please revive ImageReady.
  21. #4334how often does one really put a stroke on a piece of type? the type colour option should default to fill.
  22. #357Can Fireworks CS4 not crash as much as its beta on release? I know it's a beta, so it's supposed to crash, but it's not like you've never released unfinished code before.
  23. #1554Why can't I use my scroll wheel in the layers palette in Fireworks!!??
  24. #103Do not kill Fireworks for Photoshop! Don't do it. Please don't do it.
  25. #2300Please enable scrolling in Fireworks palettes already!

General Bitching / Multiple Products

  1. #19You know what would be nice? Finally standardizing the interface between ALL of your applications.
  2. #36can Photoshop and Illustrator (and InDesign, etc.) please just work the same? Same guides, same text tools, etc.
  3. #93please, please, please make all the shortcuts in all your applications the same. is it really that hard?
  4. #294give the same keyboard shortcuts to the same functions no matter what app. if you say you're going for consistency, then be fucking consistent.
  5. #637Why the hell do I need both "Adobe Help Viewer 1.0" and "Adobe Help Viewer 1.1"? This is the laziest excuse for terrible programming imaginable. At least make an effort to hide your incompetence.
  6. #950Please stop keeping the PC and Mac versions separate. One combined version, one license. How hard is that?
  7. #101Please make your applications consistent.
  8. #1163Please give us an option to "Save all user defined settings" to a USB-memory (Preferences, workspaces, actions, presets, profiles, custom brusches, Custom patterns and so on...). And a way to load those when ever you want.
  9. #954Could you please consider adding Private Use Area access to ligature glyphs and to alternate glyphs in fonts such as Garamond and Arno so that people using non-OpenType applications could use them to produce graphics? Maybe special PUA-access versions of the fonts?

InDesign

  1. #146Why is the color picker different in all the CS apps? Why can't I use an eyedropper in the color picker in InDesign?
  2. #984Please give us color management for grayscale images in InDesign. It's a huge pain without. Direct RGB to grayscale conversion without a trip to Photoshop would also be very useful.
  3. #1334InDesign should be able to make PDF forms directly.
  4. #212why doesn't InDesign respond to "command + H"?
  5. #1738Can you imagine what we have to go through if we have to reorder rows in an InDesign table?! Can you? I mean, it even works in MS Word!
  6. #832InDesign just deleted (not moved to the Trash, just deleted!) all my links because I tried to replace a packaged file with a new version of itself. I bill by the hour, so thanks!
  7. #1435Why doesn't InDesign recognize sub-layers when placing Illustrator files? Cause, man, it should.
  8. #1147A scrubber bar for font size in InDesign would be very welcomed! Why is it in Photoshop but not InDesign? Crazy!
  9. #1258I can't hide InDesign, only minimize, WTF.
  10. #1082InDesign needs to work for left-handers too. Let AltGr bring up the scroll hand too!
  11. #1701Could you, please, make InDesign work properly with OS X Leopard?
  12. #1902Please reconsider FrameMaker for Mac: meaning write something for Mac that technical writers of long documents can USE. Not InDesign, it's shit for long technical documents.
  13. #373InDesign text columns controlled in a paragraph style! Saves me time clipping text and making frames. That'll be all for now.
  14. #2124I would like to copy from InDesign and paste into Illustrator, instead of saving out an EPS, placing and embedding it, then deleting the EPS I had to make.
  15. #4025If you want to relink an image, could it please be possible to get straight to the folder in which the original image sits? It was possible in other versions, but not anymore.
  16. #2710Please let me choose CMYK or RGB mode in when creating a new document (New Document window) and choose or change it in the Document Setup window, in InDesign. And when I'm in CMYK mode, for the love of god, let black be true black! Rich black is not as popular as your InDesign and Illustrator teams seem to think it is!
  17. #1726Why can't I Hide InDesign? I just wont go away...
  18. #1074Embed Illu file in InDesign then changing layer order or layer naming in Illustrator will ruin the linkage of all the embedded Illustrator data in InDesign. Thus the Object Layer Options Dialog becomes unuseable! Please fix this!!!!
  19. #2140Add "hide" functionality to InDesign.
  20. #1344InDesign Character/Paragraph styles are a mess. Allow me to apply more than one style to a bit of text. Also, external (linked, centralized) style sheets with directly editable code. Ideally, move everything to an extended/customized CSS based system.

Photoshop

  1. #224Better font browser in Photoshop, please?
  2. #511please either make the vector tools in Photoshop work like completely like Illustrator, or just leave them out. Their half-assedness is aggravating.
  3. #354Please make photoshop give my ram back when I quit
  4. #28Enable auto-recover for Photoshop, so when it inevitably crashes for the 9th time today I can get back to the corporate schlock I was working on.
  5. #51Let me change the opacity on multiple layers at once!
  6. #627Can you please save the history in my PSD files so I can come back to a project later and use the history brush?
  7. #350"Photoshop cannot save this file because it is open." Thank you, thank you, thank you.
  8. #850I want the Photoshop launch time to be faster
  9. #948You are the ones who invented OpenType - so why doesn't your application Photoshop support OpenType glyphs???
  10. #120let me open up animated gifs. why did you REMOVE a feature?!
  11. #405Dotted lines in Photoshop, please.
  12. #959Please allow me to import animated gifs into photoshop with their frames intact.
  13. #316dashed lines in Photoshop, already.
  14. #674Thanks for killing image ready but only implementing some of its animated gif capabilities into Photoshop. Yes, I will buy and learn Fireworks just to do something I used to be able to do in a 5 year old Photoshop.
  15. #188In Photoshop, after using the text tool (and hitting enter) I hit 'v' to choose my cursor, but no, instead you change the typeface of the active layer to Verdana. Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted.
  16. #947Do you ever listen to your tech support team? How about gathering the top problems that people call in about and FIXING them? Or even posting FAQs based on the help calls.
  17. #949Please let me customize the Photoshop tools palette. As a photographer, I will never ever use the Pen tool, but I want Healing Brush and Patch Tool on top.
  18. #136please make photoshop open up quicker
  19. #968Please give me better control over the antialiasing of text in photoshop. (Or at least make it work and actually create smooth looking text)
  20. #84Please give me layer specific guides in Photoshop
Dear Adobe: No more than 200 characters
