In photoshop 2022 (version 23.2), photoshop implemented a Blue Share button in the

top right corner of the app workspace that is supposed to turn into a button of the sme color as

the other tool options bar icons.

 

With the latest 23.2.2 update the Blue Share button does not go away after first use as described

on this page under Easily find the Share button

I reset the photoshop preferences as i do after every photoshop update by trashing the preferences folder.

 

 

 

Share button that the Blue Share button is supposed to appear as after first use

 

 

 

In the 23.2.2 update the button still stays as a Blue Share button after first use

Please add quick share back. I understand it was removed due to low usage but the removal has greatly slowed down my process and made it very difficult for me. Also, when exporting it is difficult to know the quality with the number slider. The drop down menu was very straightforward.

Duplicate post. Please don't do this as it can waste our time.

I got tired of keeping track of the number of elements inside the file with each update and updating the UIColors file manually, so I updated my script by adding a preset system and a couple of convenient functions that you might need when customizing the interface in some cases.

I already voted up on that thread. I was confused by the new "PS Feature Request" process. Oh well.

Bring back the handy SHARE button in Photoshop FILE,it is quick and handy.The blue button on the right is slow and useless as it's saving the photo first to iCloud...

This should be an optional button, not required distraction.

I'm curious to know how % of Adobe users really care or need all those sharing features anyway,
Seriously, stop forcing us to use Adobe Cloud, we don't need it and we won't extra pay for it.

Anyway - modifying UIColors.txt still works, but you have to make a new one because it now has two added sections.

I have updated the file on github - Share-button-fix 

Сhecked its compatibility with earlier versions of Photoshop - the presence of added sections does not cause problems.

If you can't beat them, join them...or better yet, overdo them 😉

I don't see what all the fuss is about. The blue button is not distracting at all now 🙂
