How to switch back to legacy Adjustments panel?

You lions of the Photoshop menu! Thank you all -- everyone posting about this and especially those of you posting screenshots! Without you, I'd still be sitting in frustration trying to get around the new 'adjustment' presets, not a one of which does a single practical thing I need to enhance oil paintings. Thanks to you, I can now find my way around well enough to (with a tonne of clicking) sort out how to use the app as I always have. You are my heroes! I can't thank you enough!

It gets weirder. When I checked Turn Off Native Canvas and restarted Photoshop, my computer went completely berserk. It started with the Layers dropdown menu flickering (literally turning on and off rapidly), then random Photoshop windows opening and closing and then other random apps opening. I had to manually shut down. Restarted Photoshop and noting else, enabled Native Canvas and all is calm. BUT, when I restarted Photoshop, the Adjustment panel was once again reversed with black type and white icons until I clicked on one of the icons (Levels) and it revereted to normal.

Hi @Trevor.Dennis, sorry you are experiencing that. We'll look into that. Can you file a bug report with reproducible steps and a video recording of your screen? 

@Zesty_wanderlust15A7 Hmm, super weird! That was not intentional at all, perhaps a server issue?

Thanks for the tip, Trevor. In the instance of the Adjustments panel reversing to black type and white icons, I'm finding that simply clicking on any icon in the panel reverses the panel back to "normal." I did try Deactivate Native Canvas, and when restarting Photoshop, the Adjustments panel was reversed momentarily on startup and then self-corrected. Haven't run it enough to see if this prevents the panel from reversing during a session. Entertaining, I guess, but more evidence that this is a pretty half-baked effort.

Responding to agree, and to bring more attention to this thread. I spend more than 40hr/wk in Photoshop too, and the Adjustments panel is critical. It used to work and I feel like I had the rug pulled out from under me.

Here to strongly agree and be updated when there is a fix, thanks.

Doug, I have found the new Adjustment panel completely empty on two occassions now.  Both times with the beta version.  Both times a Preferences reset fixed it, but the second time was within hours of resetting Preferences!  I have turned Deactivate Native Canvas now, because it seems to fix anything remotely display related, and 24 hours later, all is still well.  Although it feels a bit of a stretch to be happy about a panel full of icons going missing.

Thanks for listening. I hope that you fully restore the panel to the previous compact and legible form. In other words, restore it exactly as it was. I am noticing that the new icons are not only smaller and blurry but the entire panel sometimes reverses out so that the header type is black instead of white and the icons are white.  

Thank you!  Great to see that you're willing to listen and respond and actually care about users.
