"Done" button on the "T" panel doesn't show up anymore when in crop or masking tool. I'm missing it.

Can I just advise anyone who is preoccupied with production deadlines, and/or, who takes the attitude "just leave it alone", to not have their auto-update option set.

 

Keeping an eye out on new updates, and reading the release announcements and usage instructions, we can take an informed decision on WHEN (whether) / HOW to bring a new version into our own workflow. Try out e.g. the new masking features on a secondary computer - or at least plan the version upgrade when there's a little spare time available for getting up to speed with it.

 

Auto update just forces our hand and sidesteps all the above precautions.

 

On buying a replacement woodwork tool (say), we'd definitely try that out on a scrap piece of wood first - understand any differences in how it should be best used - we wouldn't (if we were wise) apply it instantly onto our main workpiece as if it was the previous tool, and then complain when we didn't get the identical usage and results. And we'd be justifiably cross if someone switched our familiar tool for a different one, without asking, right in the middle of our work. Regardless whether the new tool was later found to be a better one.

I am losing my mind!!!!  My LR just updated IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BUSY SEASON and I can't do ANYTHING!!!!  Muscle memory is a real thing!  BRING BACK THE "DONE" button, at the very least!!!  Even the masking edits look crazy different and I feel like it's adding years to my editing time!  This is a nightmare!  Why change something that people have been doing for years?  You know the expression "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" This is the very reason why.  This was not an improvement!  I have never complained before, but I am on a million deadlines and my brain cannot adjust to this change!  Not cool, Adobe.  Not cool.

Put the damn button back seemingly it's arbitrarily removed and it totally screws up my work process after more than a decade of using this software! After doing something a certain way for so long it's incredibly difficult to change it.

When I become the president I will ban Adobe from my country until they reinstate myc DONE-button. It was a much more natural workflow than it is now.

I assumed I would get used to the changes and stop missing the 'done' button in short order - but that's not been the case. I still find myself frustrated it's not there. Especially when wanting to use the same toolset but a new mask. I've having to click back and forth on the tool strip, or move from the mouse to the keyboard to hit 'enter'. As someone else mentioned, the button being removed is disruptive to my work flow and I hope they re-implement it.

PLEASE put the Done button back.

Removing it seems totally gratuitous - and simply forces people to change their habits and mouse-movements for no practical reason.

Another +1 to bring back the 'Done' button. It's habit. It's now slowing down my workflow.

I like the change. Plus it makes it consistent with the Lightroom cloud tools. I'm happy to see Adobe innovate on Classic as well.

Just updated to this new version without the done button. For me its counter intuative, especially if it is the last adjustment made, your hand is automatically going downwards the filmstrip at the bottom to select next image to work on . My arm hasnt gone up and down as much since my teenage years! Also when using the healing tool in healing mode you have two little white sticky plaster icons next to each other , one finishes the operation one doesnt. If your ploughing through hundreds of photos this becomes quite an anoyance.

This is my first time here. I NEED THIS BUTTO BACK. I feel so lost every time done cropping. Yes, i just could hit enter. But WHY would you remove such a button and just leave an emtpy space?
