Photoshop: Allow simple maths in number fields.
So if I want my canvas to be 43px smaller I can basically type 160-43. Or if I want it to be 2.5x bigger I can do 160x2.5.
Any number field can benefit from this. Very often I have to open the calculator to figure out numbers.

(Excuse my English, I am French and I pass by Google translation. I hope you understand what I mean :-p)
For those who do not know, in Illustrator or InDesign, in the fields where you enter numeric values (such as height or width fields of an item), the four basic operations we can do.
For example, if you want an item to be 2 times higher, we will type * 2 after the height and validates it by pressing Enter. Same thing if you want to move it 10 pixels on the X axis, + 10 you type after the value in X and you confirm with the Enter key. If instead of hitting Enter, you Alt + Enter, it performs the transformation you while duplicating the item.
By cons, we still can not do it on Photoshop. This is unfortunate because it is handy.

I would love it if the Image Size and Canvas Size dialog accepted expressions. For instance, if an image width is 592, let me type in 592 * 2 instead of having me do the math to type in 1184.

When you Ctrl + T a layer, it would be nice to use simple math operations to change the size.
Example: You have a rectangle that is 800px wide. But I want to change the rectangle to be a third of that size. Instead of making the math operation somewhere else, this could be done straight in Photoshop by introducing /3 after the width value. Illustrator and InDesign do this for a long time and it would be good to make Photoshop do it as well.

How cool it would be if we could enter simple mathematical expressions in size field .
Lets say i have a canvas size of 67 px and if i need to increase it by 4 .. i have to do calclations manually .. Insteas how cool it would be if we could just add 67*4 in canvas dialog box

This isn't a outrageous feature request, its a basic utilitarian feature present in EVERY SINGLE OTHER ADOBE APP.

Creatives are not able to use calculations when changing the canvas and/or image size of an image ...
