Dear Adobe Elves,

I know I’m early for Christmas, but I thought I’d give you some time to work on my wishlist. Here are a few things that I really really really really want for the next generation of the creative suite.

1. Searchable layers! – Lately, I’ve been working with some gigantic Photoshop files that have tons of layers and while I am conscientious about my layer naming conventions, that whole ‘right-click to view layer names’ just doesn’t get the job done when there are 341 layers to sort through. Know what would really rule? If the search had auto-suggestion a la Walbridge project search.

2. Glyph palette for Photoshop – Illustrator has it! Photoshop is jealous.

3. Font preview for Illustrator – Photoshop has a great scrollable font preview in the character palette, Illustrator is jealous.

4. Expanded adjustment layer effects – Photoshop's standard adjustment layer options are great, but I have a serious hankering for blur and sharpen adjustment layer functionality.

Many thanks and keep up the good work,
Kate
