P: Shades of grey for different selection states are not different enough

Hi Adobe team,

I always felt it's difficult to visually distinguish between selected and non-selected pictures. In library mode, the grey tones are quite similar and in compare and overview modes the frame around the selected image is dark and/or very thin and barely visible.

Is this something you ever considered changing - or at least making it configurable?

Thanks and best regards

Johannes

Idea for Adobe engineers: create the ability to choose the accent color of the system or the highlight for the background of the selected photo to have a more contrasted color to make it easier to see which photo we are in!

I would like this too.  It would also be great when moving folders within Lightroom, to have the target folder highlighted more brightly (Windows).  At the moment you can hardly see which one you are selecting (moving to) as it is only a marginally lighter grey than the rest.  Same when you want to move a few selected photos from one folder to another.  So in general when using Lightroom with Windows, anything selected needs brighter highlighting!

I too Agree for this request. Also I might suggest that the Arrows in the Various Panels like example the Folders be a Yellow or Green or Similar to the way the fields are display in the Mac Version. Or is that a Mac exclusive feature?)

I totally agree with this request, it would make things easier for me as well.

I voted for this one.

I wouldn't mind seeing a stronger difference as well even when just one image is selected.

My complaint is about how the filmstrip deals with "selected" and "most selected" images. Selected images are highlights with white, and the most selected image is highlighted with a just barely brighter white, the difference almost indiscernible.

Exhibit A 

Seven "selected" images, with the left most image being the "most selected" image, and that image showing larger above the filmstrip.

Exhibit B

The same seven "selected" images, with a different image as the "most selected" image, and that image showing larger above the filmstrip. Can you EASILY tell which image is most selected now? It has changed since Exhibit A. It is the 3rd from the right. 

This is my complaint, that the difference between the highlight given to the "most selected" image does not differentiate it enough visually to make it EASY to tell which image is selected. Often I have 10 or more very similar images and I select them to flip through to narrow down to the best one. It makes my life HARD when I have to strain to see the difference in the two tones for "selected" and "most selected".

Exhibit C

Lightroom would be SO MUCH BETTER if the "most selected" image in the filmstrip was highlighted in a way that made it stand out from the other "selected" images as I have demonstrated below.
