A lot of Photoshop users wonder where Adobe gets feedback for feature development in new versions of Photoshop. There are a variety of ways; from the Feature Requests section of the Adobe User to User Forums (here’s the Mac forum and here’s the Windows forum for Photoshop and here’s the Bridge Forum).
