Bring Back Adjustment Titles

Request: Allow Text Labels Next to Icons in the Adjustments Panel

I am writing to request a customization option for the Adjustments panel in Photoshop. Currently, the panel forces a choice between a compact grid of icons without text labels, or hiding the tools behind a dropdown list / preset menu.

Please allow us to customize the Adjustments panel so we can display both the icon and its title simultaneously, as in previous versions.

Having to hover over every icon to find a specific adjustment—or rely on a dropdown list—adds unnecessary friction. Hiding these essential tools behind extra clicks creates a real barrier as the saying “out of sight, out of mind” requires me to continually have to search the web for where these functions are located. 

I have been using Photoshop for almost 8 years, relying on it heavily for critical monthly projects. For users who know the software well but aren't in it every single day, removing text labels adds an unnecessary layer of complexity to a familiar layout.

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to see an option restored in a future update that lets users display both adjustment icons and their corresponding titles.
