P: Bring Quick Share back to Photoshop (removed from 23.3)

Adobe, bring back the Quick Share button that was at the top right of Photoshop (it was just removed with the April release of Photoshop 23.3)

The reasoning for removing it is stated as "due to low usage, desire to simplify the options bar UI, and redundant functionality to other export functions."

But there is no other export function (that I am aware of) that allows you to send an image directly to another device via AirDrop -- This was extremely convenient as I didnt have to save/export a file onto my HDD everytime I wanted to send something to my phone or tablet.
Please bring it back and tuck it away somwhere if you have to.

Even if it was intentional, you are seeing that there are a lot of folks who depended on that.  Since this was intentional then please intentionally bring it back. It's a little button!  Customer is always right ... remember?

BRING BACK THE QUICK SHARE BUTTON! I reallly do not understand how the reasoning for removing it was due to low usage, this feature was essential to my daily workflow. The ability to quickly text graphics to clients or save to photos, or email designs was so convienent. Instead now I have to export as a .jpg and then send through imessage on my mac or save to icloud and have to go on my phone and find it there and save it, and there seems like no other work around for this. Really hoping they fix this soon

I no longer have just share, I now have "share for review" and then it wants me to make a completely redundent, unnecessary, space and time wasting psd copy only to have to reduce it back to what I already had. Is there any logic in this world any more?

Was one the best things added in awhile, that I used almost daily — so of course you removed it.

 

Can't wait to hear about some useless AI feature that lets me paint realistic fruit trees in a bathroom or some other hogwash.

Couldn't agree with you more, that "due to low usage" can't be the case with all of this.   Most people just shrug and move on but I'm still checking for an update when it will return.  It's completely taken time off oy my workflow when covering LIVE conference events when I need to turn around assets fairly quickly to be used for social media.   It didn't "simplify the options bar UI" either, it's causing more headache.   Please bring it back good grief.

I decided to try Photoshop 22 and found that the Quick SHare button had been removed.  "Due to low usage"?  Sorry it doesn't wash.  An excuse like that was thought of by a bored executive.  Not only has the option been removed...apparently it has been totally taken off of Photoshop.  I have read through Adobe on-line for several hours and have found that it is virtually wiped out...there is no way I can find to transfer my documents to Photos and all I can ask is that I be allowed to continue using Photoshop 21 for as long as possible, unless you plan on making things simpler again.

It has taken me a long time to be able to comfortably use Photoshop.  Adding a snag like this under the pretext of "Due to low usage" (please don't insult my intelligence),  tells me that a time is coming when I simply will not have the time, energy or patience to continue my subscription.  I hope that you will have the time to think this over again for the sake of the customers who have valued Photoshop as much as I do.
