  1. ability to arrange stuff with equal spacing based on actual space and not the center.

  2. ability to bring the back handle bar to default as you can do with front handle bar when you have pen tool selected and hold alt key.

  3. ability to bring back handle bar of either one side only to default as you can when you hold alt and has direct selection tool selected.

  4. ability to arrange paths in order of front and back on the same layer.

  5. ability to merge vector masks easily, dragging replaces it..i wish holding key could make it switch between replace/add/subtract/duplicate.

  6. Illustrator brushes- stretching symbol etc.

  7. Illustrator stroke management.

  8. spray symbols with variability- so i select 5 different flowers and make brush out of it so when i draw it draws randomly between one of 5 flowers with varying scale and any other factors that i have enabled.

  9. ability to mask a group or apply filters to a whole or clipping mask. and more but i cant recall now.

edited: Handle bars are that come out of anchor points that you drag around to determine how curved the curve is... edited: I have CS 5.1

Sorry.. really horribly asked question. Some of your "wants" are only possible in Illustrator, some are possible in only Photoshop, some are not possible at all, and some are unclear what you mean (handlebars??). – Scott Nov 29 '12 at 1:54
can you program and add these features to photoshop.. – Muhammad Umer Nov 29 '12 at 2:46
Not unless you have the Photoshop code base (which you won't have unless you are an Adobe employee) or feel like using the SDK to develop plug ins. – Scott Nov 29 '12 at 2:46

Try breaking this question up into separate questions for each feature. As it is, it's a big collection of questions that no one else is likely to find useful. – Joe Nov 29 '12 at 5:32

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

  1. this is a layout tool and you will find it in layout programms like InDesign and Illustrator

  2. Works with direct select tool (if I understood you correctly)

  3. Doesn't work. You'll have to go through Illustrator.

  4. If it's on the same layer it's on the same layer. If you want a specific order, use more layers.

  5. Already works. Copy and paste with direct select tool.

  6. Illustrator functionality.

  7. Illustrator functionality.

  8. Works with Photoshop Brush presets.

  9. Works with layer masks.

In summary, you want a lot of Illustrator functions in Photoshop. I strongly suggest using Illustrator. Photoshop is pixel based.

about #8 do you mean one brush can do lot of shapes, i.e. different flowers. Not just only variations of one flower. If, so i have never come across it...Could you give some hints. – Muhammad Umer Nov 29 '12 at 17:55
