What's the one thing you'd really like to see adobe sort out? This'll be a nice place to air you greviances.. and to possibly be told by others that such features DO in fact exist..
For example (and probably the most obvious) transparency in illustrator without having to use frikkin masks
A keyboard shortcut that just deselects everything and takes you to the pointer tool.. one that you can use while typing. (the amount of v's I have sneaking into text boxes is ridiculous)
In illustrator, the ability to paste inside another object (not mask.. as if you mask a massive object it still gets in the way all the time)
ps haven't payed properly with CS4 so forgive any ignorance there..

More filters in PS. Especially the Artistic ones.

______Flash, the interface is fucking horrible:
Bad for designing in
Bad for coding in
Bad for animating in
You can tell the entire dev team are JUST coders, and they all probably just use Eclipse or Flashdevelop etc these days so they don't give a shit about it. I mean that CS4 UI update was a complete joke they broke more things than they fixed.That tabbed interface in every program was a fucking mistake too, total nerd decision they always think tabs make everything awesome just because they work in web browsers doesn't mean it would work in Photoshop. Also the actual implementation was a buggy inconsistent pile of shit too, its like someone got really excited about programming it then bored after a week so just rushed it together.
OH AND FIX FIREWORKS FOR FUCK SAKE, reprogram most of it because its a dated piece of shit now and sucks up 10% of your processor even when no images are open, is it programmed by the work experience student or something?
- could you add a character and a hard return before all your posts please? noone can read the 1st few wordskelpie

- "You can tell the entire dev team are JUST coders" So true. Get some non egg-heads to work on Flash.CyBrain
- And don't ever overhaul actionscript again.CyBrain

________ on and basic things in illustrator get more tedious with every version, that appearance panel is turning into a disaster
- on the contrary, i'm loving the appearance panel more and more.inkpink

When in the type tool and typing, you can hold the apple key to activate your black arrow and then click outside the textbox, then hit v to bring your black arrow into play
- yeah that is what I do. But it's a mission. alt+v would be so much betterProjectile
- i think esc does the trickadded_valium
- Projectile0
yeah that's another one.. illustrator, like in PS, you should be able to drag an effect from the appearances panel onto an object instead of having to create a whole new style
- u copy appearance between objects in the layers panel.. opt-click and drag/drop the dark dot.inkpink

still in flash it's possible to break keyboard shortcuts for tool selection.
standardise kerning between flash and photoshop
only allow pixel integers within flash and make it easier to snap vectors to pixels in photoshop.
just a few off the top of my head

Adobe are in desperate need for competition especially in the web design arena.
+ Photoshop is tedious to web design in because drawing a box is a ballache and you either litter then canvas with hundreds of vector shapes that are tedious or you draw each one using a square of pixels which can't be changed easily. You can use smart objects but then you can't change the text on buttons for example.
+ Illustrator doesn't deal with pixel measurements very well and is tedious for developers to export
+ Fireworks is woefully buggy and dated, things break in it constantly or shift, the filters are low quality, crashes constantlyDesperately need something like Fireworks with the filter/compositing technology of After Effects. Imagine being able to compose a button with stacked blur and overlay effects but with live text/resizing and having access to normal map rendering technology for 3D program quality gloss. It would be like the best thing and the worst thing to happen to web design.
Yet what are we going to get? Catalyst which is a massive pile of dogshit, I mean we all know for a fact that anything made in that will run like shit anyway because it will be a massive pile of clunky framework stuck to flash, its only there to make lazy developer lives easier not actually make better quality work

How about autosave in illustrator and maybe photoshop?
I know the file sizes can be prohibitive in those apps sometimes, but fuck me... indesign can do it, why not the others?BTW, you can also hit cmd + enter to exit a type box in illustrator.
- After Effects saves as it crashes which is awesomeBIGGESTDOGINTHEWORLD
- OOH NICE THANK
yeh i usualy cmd+click outside but it can be a hassleProjectile

illustrator cs4 - yes they gave us multiple pages... but if you re-order them, the page number stay the same!!! why would you do this to us adobe? why?
illustrator masks - paste into instead of clipping mask as mentioned above.
also, swallow your pride adobe and take all the good bits from freehand!
- Freehand +1 - Still miss that!burnt
- yeah me too!!!Projectile

stop crashing, and more torrents for demo cracks please. Oh, and what these other people said too.

Fireworks - proper 9-point resize handles as per Illustrator, InDesign

Adobe software is a bloated pile of garbage but sadly all we have really. Why can't dreamweaver render my code properly? Why is it a 500mb text editor when Coda does the same for 50mb? The interface on Flash is becoming a nightmare and is buggy on Mac.
Make it small, make it fast and fix the interface on everything.
- this will all come when cs6 comes out next year
.....2 months after cs5Gucci - CS4 was supposed to fix the UI... they fucked upBIGGESTDOGINTHEWORLD

With regard to Fireworks, Adobe are focussing exclusively on "performance, stability and bug fixing" for the upcoming release. That's good news.
- Yeah most of the bugs are fixed CS5 now...... gotta pay for those fixes thoughBIGGESTDOGINTHEWORLD

Photoshop:
Bring back Ctrl+DoubleClick on workspace=New Document PLEASE ADOBE
Let me chose old way of sorting documents if I dislike having them all in the same shared window by default.
Make the OPTIONS window SCALABLE.
Focus on making Photoshop FASTER first please, it's been perfect since version 7.
Make customer service a bit faster please, it took me an hour on the phone to get my serial number fixed. :( It takes 20 seconds to find a working serial off the net... Using google no less.
Remove having to deactivate the software from my machine. What if my motherboard crashes? Will I have to spend 2 hours on the phone?After Effects:
I think alot more logical things could be accessible through right click.
Scaling sequences could be made even simpler.
Make the bounding boxes on objects that have an alpha channel, smaller somehow please. Why can't they have an alpha too?Thanks Adobe,
- digdre0
bring macromedia back?
- Redmond0
Also, make adobe bridge optional please. And make the install faster. Photoshop 6 takes 1 minute to install and it's nearly just as good as CS4. CS4 takes nearly half an hour.

Adobe actually reads this site.
