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?

    Nice work! And that certainly sums up the problem.

    You should do this. Any additional pressure that can be applied to fix this is appreciated. Adobe's designers deserve the bad press for this.

    Has anyone brought this discussion to the attention of influential Photoshop bloggers like Scott Kelby (kelbyone.com)? The world seems oblivious to the problem outside of this discussion. The Lightroom import fiasco made headlines within days, but this is ten times worse.

    That's it!
    The sad thing (for us customers) is that "they" think of this as an achievement.

    Still too much contrast. Make background lighter or text darker to match the real Adobe style.

    Bob Laughton: I must admit I had a quiet chuckle to myself when I just received my Christmas message from Adobe:- "May your 2016 be filled with colour and delight" Yes please!

    Bruce Thomas: Let's all send Adobe gray on gray, barely visible Christmas cards :)
