So you can't do "save as" or the old zoom functionality or constrain proportions because of the new OS. But you CAN go back and revert it to the old way of doing it. That makes zero sense to me. The idea that you change an interface to support the back end is the complete inverse of good user experience design. You make the front end easy for the humans and you make the back end do the work. That's what Software is supposed to do. Not the other way around. Not to menion, that there is an entire industry that needs overwrite the same graphic over and over whereas the "save as a copy" is easily appended by a user by adding a number or letter after the file name. It's been happening since we've been making files. You KNOW when you want to make a copy. That's why you "save as". When you save over something it can be a mistake, but I can't see that being such a problem as to make an entire user group who needs it to do that futz around with the name constantly. To have to remove it every single time you want to adjust a graphic so you don't have to play with the code is beyond annoying. It slows you down to a crawl when you are using key commands and moving as efficiently as possible.   ... View more

[swearing removed] you people are just trying to find stuff to do. Did you notice you HAVE to have all of these featurs that let you "revert back" becauses the new ones are terrible? Are you all just trying to make sure you have a job by moving things and making them worse? Like.... let's not let people constrain when sizing! Or, let's do this stupid animated zoom! Now it's save a copy because God knows there's nothing more annoying especially when doing ux and web design as saving copies so you have 59 copies instead of writing over something. Yeah... great idea. Well, thankfully I've spent a better part of an hour looking up EVERYTHING on the web to figure out how to "revert back". Nothing like making a previously bloated product even worse! Thanks Adobe. You guys rock.   ... View more

I'm sorry.. you're right. You're probably a programmer type. I misspoke. DPI and resolution are different and I often flip them around in my dyslexic brain. Sorry if my handicap upsets you. It still doesn't make what I'm saying any less relevant. I don't care what it prints at. I care if I can get an image to the size I want on screen. To be more specific, I need it to display on a browser at the size I want. The advent of the high resolution screens while making images crisper makes it one step removed from what the browser renders which adds another layer on there. What I see on screen isn't exactly what I see in the browser any longer and now I rely even more on the pixel dimensions to ensure I have the right size. The pixel dimensions I have to flip back and forth on a dropbox to see. The ones I used to see immediately but don't any more. the ones I can no longer directly manipulate along with the resolution. Those things. Those pixel things. Those little boxes on the screen that make an image. Those boxes that in essence work in exactly the same manor as dpi. Instead of drops of ink on paper they are little boxes that we register as an image. Far less of them indeed than dpi but the concept is exactly the same. That's why this dyslexic brain flips them around on me. ... View more

what is it about the fact that I have found it useful to manipulate pixel dimensions and resolution to get the image size I need for online use that isn't quite getting across. I used to be able to manipulate the pixel size and the resolution to get the needed dimensions I desired without any fuss. Now I'm supposed to flip back and forth between resample on and off, constantly flipping the selection to see how many pixels it is and to get what I want? Or perhaps I'm I supposed to make random guesses on the inches until I get the right number to show at the top? If I'm super industrious I can sign up for an online calculator and give my email to one more marketing firm. Or I can do what I have done which is look up the conversions and waste my time when I used to have it at my fingertips. OR... they could have left the flexibility they originally had in the product alone. It's not like it wasn't there before so why was it useful then and suddenly unnecessary now? ... View more

@Abambo I've been working on this industry since the 90s so I have a pretty good grasp on how "all image processing programs" work. Perhaps you didn't read what I wrote. I want to take the dpi down and I want it to shift the size up or down. It STILL does this. It's ALWAYS done this. I used to do this and have the flexibility of seeing the outcome in pixels or inches. BUT NOW... it's displayed ONLY in inches. So how I'm supposed to "keep thinking in pixels... as a professional" when I can't see the pixel measurement? I'm sure you're "brilliant" and do the math in your head but personally, I'm visual and don't have the time for getting my calculator and trying to figure out the inches to pixel conversion. I'm more interested in solving the problems that are relevant to the task at hand. I don't need another genius who can't think out of the box, imposing their perception of the world on 100% of users. Maybe inches are great for some, but not all. Why that flexibility has been removed is nonsensical. ... View more

The units are in pixels. All units and guides are in pixels and points for text.    The problem is that I want to manipulate the dpi and see what it does to the pixels. I don't think of my web images in inches. I just don't. It won't let me select pixels because someone decided that I as a user didn't need pixels. If want to change the width to a smaller size and allow it to increase the dpi, I don't know what I'm doing in inches.   Inches mean nothing in web design, everything is defined by the pixel. If I want to lock the dpi and change the pixels, that's fine, but on as many occasions if not more, I reduce the dpi to 72, which will scale the image. I need to understand what that means in terms of web design, not print. Once I do that, I can often crop as I please or get close to the size I need and use the canvas size for the rest.   If you tell me something is 10" I don't know what that means in pixels. Great. It's 10 inches printed. I don't print, I am working on UI's for web applications and everything is 72 dpi. I'll have to do some crazy calculation to figure out what I'm looking at or bring it in and see what it does. guessing means it will be wrong and I can't sit around trying to guess how many pixels = inches. I never had this problem until I went onto the "cloud" which is a crock to make people pay more money and nothing else. ... View more

Are they KIDDING?? Hey ADOBE, Who's brilliant idea was that??? I'm a freekin professional who has spent an entire career changing image sizes and thinking in PIXELS and now I can't change it??? WTF??? How am I supposed to change an image size to 1800 pixels without the resolution going down to 2.2 pixels???????? Listen geniuses! I know what 1 pixel looks like compared to 2. I know 1800 and 1600. After 30 years I SEE AND THINK IN PIXELS. Whoever decided this was a good idea doesn't know your users. Do I have to do some crazy math now to figure this crap out? You guys suck. You had a great product and because you're trying so hard to keep your jobs you come up with useless features and have a bloated, useless buggy, skitzo piece of software. I long for the days when it wasn't a subscription and you jerks didn't reach into my computer and ruin my application!!! ... View more

I was on an older OS, desperately clinging to it until my computer couldn't take it any more and dies. I just switched and am pulling my hair out because things are twirling and flipping around, lines are drawing themselves and all of this animated bloat ware is in my face. It is like working in a Microsoft product! I likened it to working not with a hammer, but "Inspector Gadget's" hammer with all of these useless things attached and springing out of it. ... View more
