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

Bingo.

I've also noticed that in Photoshop v2015.1.1 different filters have different appearance of sliders (like different vertical position of an indicator or its look):

And there's, of course, the Camera Raw Filter which also has a different appearance of its sliders.

I think the sliders appearance should be more consistent across the application.

Can we get some kind of and update on this? I'd like to know if I should continue this subscription or cancel and roll back to cs6.

Adobe: your new Photoshop (CC 2015.1.1) interface sucks. Who's in charge there? Fire them.

From another active thread, this is the exctly kind of thing we should be getting in interface updates. Functionality and efficiency improvements.

Everything is just gray, there's no other way to explain it or spin it. The only vision seems to have been to simply make it flat and gray. Nothing was improved (already making it pointless) and astonishingly you've made it worse. It fails to be innovative, inspiring, or even as low as just cool looking. It's dull, boring, uninspired, and uninviting. And you guys never even mentioned this change anywhere that I ever saw. That seems odd, shouldn't Adobe have been proud to tout the new interface?

On a positive note; the custom Toolbar is cool. You actually did that just for the users, and you did it in a way that wasn't forced upon everyone like it or not. It's a nice option for us to use if we feel it will help us. More thinking like this will always be welcome.

Whether or not your "millions of users" are raising a fuss on this forum or in some other way does not necessarily mean that it's been received well. I've yet to find anyone that's a fan, most dislike it and dislike the way it was slammed on them with no warning. Others have just dismissed it as "typical of Adobe today" or something similar. I kind of think people (advertising + design) are losing faith.

A well-earned reputation can provide a buffer only so long.

Here's another annoyance/bug/feature (depending on your perspective).

Photoshop (and Illustrator) don't respect the Cmd-Opt-ClickFinderDockIcon shortcut. That's a common shortcut which hides all visible windows (Mac only) and displays the desktop. Today I noticed when I try to use the Cmd-Opt-CligkFinderDockIcon feature, it hides all windows _except_ Photoshop and Illustrator.

We are trying to take action. But please stay on topic, and within the terms of use for the site.

To be fair, I posted nothing worse than many of the other frustrated Adobe customers. I encourage you to help take positive action to help us with this farily serious problem.

This is a great conversation that's separate from the one you posted on, so I created a new conversation to continue the discussion.

Please reference the new conversation here: Photoshop cc 2015 - switching screen modes doesn't work if icon from toolbar is h...

I gave the 2015.1 a second try (next to a closer look to Affinity Photo) and immediately found a bug (or a feature?):

I configured the tool bar and disabled the icon for the screen mode (don't know the exact name in the english version. lowest icon on my screenshot) as I always use the shortcut "F".
Unfortunately, it is not just the icon that is not shown anymore, but the whole functionality is gone. Pressing "F" has no effect. Activating the icon makes this function work again.

All the other icons that I remove from the "official" toolbar to the "..." tray still work. Why not the view mode? Is this a bug or did your developers have something certain in mind with it?

Thanks
