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

I'm quite surprised that people like Russell Brown, one of the program's creators and senior design director is supporting this. All I can think is that there is something political going on at Adobe that's causing a lot of this dysfunction. The lower level worker bees are merely taking orders.

The flat, low-contrast look is not working very well. There's essentially no borders between any of the fields, which makes everything run together in a big jumble of text and widgets.

I think that not only should you be able to revert back to a previous version, but you should get a partial refund on your monthly subscription (which will lock you out of re-downloading it again, to be fair, until the next update) when doing so. There should be a financial feedback mechanism in addition to a text-based one. As it is now, it's take-it-or-leave-it, for the ENTIRE suite of software! That's kinda nutty in my opinion.

Ok, what idiot did design the new flat look? Fire him immediately and roll back the UI. We don't need this flat look where the UI elements are hard to discern. Thank you.

This is the perfect feedback for the new UI. In white is 'more' bearable. But.

There was an update today and they just keep it on. I guess we will have to buy new glasses to use this IU in the future. I didn't update my work machine.

Clear proof that Adobe is losing its edge. The newer hires clearly don't have the UI skills or correct sensibilities, and the entire program is now starting to slide downhill.
Staying with 2014 until things get back on track.
I'm unfortunately seeing a pattern of them not listening to their customers, but I also see how forcing everyone to rental vs. buy has given them the leverage to do whatever they want and not lose a cent.
If this had been a regular purchased update, they would have lost money big time.

I've been just charged for my CC subscription and still no update on the UI issue. Like hundreds of users I'm still forced to use an old version.

Thank you adobe.

The only button I feel like touching is Uninstall.

But it's more touch friendly!

This topic was created 23 days ago and no updates released. Everyday I check Creative Cloud in the laptop for a new UI update with higher contrast so I can upgrade my work Mac, but no luck.

All buttons have the same visual value... All layers look the same... All input fields are hiding... I'm really frustrated, I thought the overwhelming dissatisfaction in this boards could wake some brains in there but I guess we'll just have to use Photoshop 'as is' now, and I'm no happy. LOTS of specific feedback even screenshot have been given and still they don't get it.
