Curves Adjustment Line and Point Size

Anyone else find the new curves adjustment line and points to be overly thick and huge? Not sure why as the previous width and size of the line and curve points were just fine and easier to make small adjustments.

Here's a screen capture of them now in PS 27.1.0.

I'm a professional retoucher and have been using Photoshop for many years.

The thicker curve line and larger control points in Photoshop 2026 make precise tonal and color adjustments more difficult.

I still use Photoshop 2025 for my daily professional work because of this change.

Please bring back the thinner curve line and smaller control points, or at least provide an option to switch between the old and new styles.

Could not agree more with this post. This makes it much more difficult to make fine adjustments especially when dealing with sensitive color and density corrections to any type of gradient within a photographic image. I hope this can be made optional in the very near future.

Yes, I see that here on Windows.

Whilst I prefer the previous thin line curve display, I don't find any difference in the ability to make small adjustments. Both input and output step in increments of 1 whether using the mouse or the keyboard arrow keys.

Well if you can’t see the diagonal base line of the underlying grid because the lines are so thick, I can’t see how you say the ability to make small adjustments is not affected. Sure, you can say you can still move the points on step at a time … But relative to what? Let’s be real.

There is no built-in Photoshop option to change the thickness of the curves line or points.

You could try resetting preferences or updating your graphics card. You could also try Preferences > Performance and take the check on or off of Graphics Card.
