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.

I used this all the time when working on design remotely and sending iMessages to my buddy for review. Going to back to screen captures and that feels kinda lame. Bring Back Share!

Super annoying. I use this daily. As other commenters have posted, there is now no way to directly export via Airdrop or Mail, which I used to use multiple times a day. The creative cloud sharing option is of no use to me whatsoever.

 

Please fix this Adobe, if we were builders, we'd be pretty pissed off if once a month, someone snuck into our toolkits and replaced our hammers with tubes of glue 'because we noticed you haven't used the hammer much recently'...

Loll you still split in a half my sayings and ask for answer to something I can't have idea about. I already twice sent you to entire thought you ignore. I can admit, as separate part of sentence it has no sense. I wouldn't say anything like it without broad context, therefore I can ask you the same question what that does mean...

 

I'm replying to you as I'm having educational lesson thanks to you, and that's somehow nice chat after all 😉 But if you are unhappy by making 'more noise' why are you part of it for so long? It wasn't me first replying to you. I answered to my fellow scripting mate Stephen_A_Marsh. Then you joined the dialogue, and the conversation has started. As respectful person I'm trying to be I accompanied to you, but I have feeling you're doing it against yourself. At one hand you want to be here, then you feel remorse you shouldn't continue it (speaking of 'noise').

 

I'm not trying to hold you, you're free to go - but any time you need me to talk don't hesitate to drop by 🙂

 

Remember, there are not same people - there are differences between us, some share their views with passion, others can't deal with. The problem starts when you can't take it as fact - instead of leading discussion you start to argue as someone doesn't naturally see the things the same way you do. It leads to intolerance, with which I believe Adobe sometimes worse, but usually quite very well handle, to be beyond.

 

I'm not your foe - anytime you meet me remember we both are valuable folks of this community - each of us serves his help own way. That doesn't mean some of them are better. They better fits to each of us individually, whilst using other methods we wouldn't be so good at what we're offering.

As a slight aside - and I don't want to hijack this thread or take away from a valid request for the return of a function, it amazes me when I see folk attempting to disconnect analytics on their systems (not just for Adobe applications but operating systems and other applications), then some complain when features they use are removed because they are little used. There are threads full of this in these forums. Analytics can have a positive side....... just saying 🙂

 

As for the quick share feature, I never used it - but support those that did.

I couldn't reply for your question because I have no information you ask me for.

 

I was aware of that just after reading the values of votes you made up. 🤔 🤔

 

"thus I would say 500 votes may be still not sufficient amount ‌‌"

 

More noise. And:

 

Regarding the above the quotation you used in (not last but) previous post was part of joke, an introduction to next sentence.

 

Moving on, leaving from this noise making (but by all means continue the noise):

 

I wouldn't underestimate Adobe folks. I can't say for everyone, but I find many reasonable people amid them. They may fail sometimes at some harder tasks, but differentiating 'signal' from 'noise' when collecting informations for further use wouldn't be something that stress me. With dedicated web tools they may check page activity during different phases of its existence, or simply skip anything that potentially yields false results.

 

No need to complicate this process: it's about the upvotes!

I couldn't reply for your question because I have no information you ask me for. I don't think you'd like me to fabricate something to satisfy you? Instead I told you the number is irrelevant in my post, that was nothing I would focus on. You have misread its importance. I could use whatever, like 'a high number' saying 😉 Read preceding part of that sentence you quoted from the half. There's its sense I'm referring to, not the quoted ending itself.

 

Regarding the above the quotation you used in (not last but) previous post was part of joke, an introduction to next sentence. That wasn't any argument to take seriously, simply kind response. Again, read the whole if you're interested to grasp the sense 😉

The number was random to some degree, it was not about particular result to gain, but the main goal to achieve, that inevitably leads to disregard parallel expectations of others.

 

IOW a factitious number, hence why my question was not answered. 

The signal to noise ratio, thanks in part to both of us posting after voting keeps creeping higher. Making the low number of votes (signal to Adobe) further drowned in noise (number of posts). Do consider that ratio. 

As to the thread you reference: a rant in a forum designed for tech (user to user) support. More noise (rant). No signal (support). Locked for that reason.

The number was random to some degree, it was not about particular result to gain, but the main goal to achieve, that inevitably leads to disregard parallel expectations of others. My basis is an comparison to other polls, where many votes did not guarantee to introduce features, and then less followed ideas, but surprisingly more welcome to implement.

 

Paraphrasing what I told you in Does anybody else feel like the constant bugs and problems in photoshop are destroying productivity?, as different people we're bent to use other indicators for our conclusion, which with time we can verify, and adapt to reality more accurately. Otherwise we would become disrespectful to each other, and would believe only own expertise is ultimately critical, than also alternate approach to same phenomenon from other side.

 

One made by us comment producess notifications (unless disabled) each time other users come with new content. As result it increases number of views by number of visits (including switching pages) without any activity. Although we can't know whether one user is equivalent one site refreshment, or 100 I agree views are imporant along with other elements, but we can't forget of the rest factors my post was about. I would continue and say at least some of them, but as respect to you I finish here to not be recognized as rants creator. That's not my aim, but friendly disscusion if someting 😉

quoteUnless someone uses two accounts, then as one double customer you can trick the system to vote twice

 

Illustrating (potentially) how poor the response so far has been. 

Too much talking/ranting and posting, not enough voting. Those are the facts. 

 

"thus I would say 500 votes may be still not sufficient amount ‌‌"

 

What number did Adobe tell you was the right number of votes ???? 😜

Unless someone uses two accounts, then as one double customer you can trick the system to vote twice ‌‌:P Or if that's detected the other calculation is considered in specific case and you deserve for a half vote: (1/2=0.5) ‌‌:D

 

Sometimes 5 is more than 10, it's all about benefits from particular feature to find something is enough valuable for company to apply one time combination, thus I would say 500 votes may be still not sufficient amount ‌‌;)
