P: New user interface lacks contrast and many usability cues, lots of other problems

I just updated to Photoshop CC(2015) version 2015.1. Adobe changed the UI to the flat look you see on phones and tablets. I do not see any way to select the classic interface, which I'm sure many desktop users of PS prefer.

This feels yet another attempt by Adobe to be trendy without caring about what users want or need. Didn't they learn anything from the dumbed-down Lightroom import fiasco?

    With the software rental scheme firmly in place, they no longer have to listen to the user to keep profits up.

    Photoshop "2015.5" came out yesterday and it's clear that Adobe is sticking with the janky new amateur interface.

    Wa ha ha ha... It's not funny at all in fact. Too near the truth I guess. But I did laugh a lot. 🙂

    Here is the funniest thing to arrive in my inbox today.

    Adobe is inviting us to come learn about UX design. I think they should attend someone else's seminar on this topic first.
