P: Photoshop 26.10 Selective Color UI Changed

So... one of the best Photoshop tools I've used for decades for color correction has been replaced overnight by a duplicate of "Color Balance." I can't simply no longer correct individual colors as I did intuitively before. Why has a tool that worked perfectly been destroyed? The change has been so disastrous and counterintuitive that I can only think it's a silly programming error!

This is simply not true. I used to use the shortcuts on the keyboard (Crtl1, Ctrl2 and so on) and it doesn't work anymore!

I couldn't agree more!

They must have had a trainee that doesn't even understand that this palette was originally invented for correcting CMYK-files.
(I have been using Photoshop ever since version 2.0 - if I'm correct - 1993 or 1994;-)

I've been using Photoshop since 1998 and I HATE this new palette. Please, Please change it back. It's unattractive, confusing and throws a wrench into my workflow. It doesn't even make sense. I am so dissappointed by this change. It was simple and straightforward before. Why add more clutter that hinders the simplicity and ease of use. Just my 2 cents. I H.A.T.E it.

Since they've chenged the interface of the selective color tool, you can't use the shortcuts.

Normally you use Ctrl 1 for red, Crtl 2 for yellow and so on, but since the interface has changed this does not work.
It is a lot of extra work to get to your mouse, go to the second screen and click one of the colored buttons (why???), to select the next color.
So please fix this bug!
P.S. I am glad the bug with the info pallet (before/after) has been solved, but I really would prefer my older version of Photoshop!

My difficulty with the new selective colour adjustment is that nothing happens with the sliders. I want to put more black in the neutrals and yet abolutley no change is visible in my selection. Any ideas why?
