P: Support for native full-screen mode on macOS

Not to mention there's now competition from Affinity Photo by Serif (tried the beta. Really friendly interface, and felt smooth to use...unlike several Adobe apps I know). I bought Pixelmator a while back for sketching and painting, but I can use it for photo editing as well. Might buy Affinity as well because it also handles RAW though.

Seriously, full screen, NATIVE full screen, is a feature that is way past due, and I lost my patience a long time ago.

@391543 Yoon If I had the money, I'D pay for you to add it.

It's clear they don't want to listen to us, regardless of over 140 replies and 4 years of requesting. When El Capitan hits, workflow will grow to be even worse with incompatible Adobe software. I can't even split an Adobe program with a simple Notes app to mark down some design notes while I work. It's hilariously tragic when I really sit down and look at it all.

It's even more laughable because (as previously mentioned in this thread, to no avail) VLC on Mac has a tick box in the settings that allows the Maximize button to either act as VLC's own full screen button or as Apple's native full screen button. It's not like we've been asking for a UI overhaul or a feature that completes our work for us, we just want a simple toggle so all users can pick between Adobe's full screen mode and Apple's full screen mode. 5 operating systems soon, and the one semi-legitimate answer we've received is "Photoshop's full screen mode is better, and power users prefer it". Toggle it then. Every other answer has been support team waving their ego around like every single one of us is the wrong one. Some of the responses on here are seriously baffling for a company that charges customers $40+ a month for software that refuses to compromise.

Adobe, grab a single one of your thousands of programmers and ask him to implement the full screen toggle. He can do it during his lunch break with one hand. Heck, give me the source code and I'll implement it. And when you do it, do it for all of your rustic-feeling software. You can sidestep and dance around the issue for only so long- people are already starting to leap over to alternatives like Pixelmator and Logoist. This lack of actual support and compromise attempts is really starting to grate on the experience. I am not happy.

God, I can't believe they haven't added this feature into their code base yet.

The other day I messaged the people that build Balsamiq Mockups... They said they can't do full screen because they use Adobe Air for their app backend. Apparently, across the board, Adobe refuses do full screen.

Even the most simple of apps has this feature ... But not Adobe?????

Every day I use Adobe apps and I hate the way Adobe has refused to implement one of the best features of the native Apple OS experience.

Serious, wtf?

Like I said before, I love Adobe apps, but it really bothers me not have basic/critical OS-specific functionality missing from the Adobe UX.

I have yet another complaint to add because of the lack of this feature. Apple keeps emphasizing the full screen workflow in OSX, and all other mayor apps I use have added support for it, such as Maya and ZBrush.

The complaint this time around is: If you have an app open in fullscreen on one screen, and Photoshop on another. Opening up a dialog window in Photoshop will often result in the other fullscreen application disappearing from their screen because the dialog wants to show up on the desktop space beneath it. This is VERY annoying.

If you're not going to have Photoshop use this feature which Apple is more and more making the preferred workflow, please, PLEASE, make dialog windows ALWAYS open up on the screen Photoshop is on, so it at least doesn't interfere with other apps which have adopted this new workflow.

I've posted in this topic before and I was more patient back then. But now this is really starting to get on my nerves and I'm considering unsubscribing unless Adobe can keep up to date with the OS's development. With the release of El Capitan the feature will have been around for 5 releases of OSX.

Well, I've gotten to the El Capitan beta and the situation's just as bad as I thought. Adobe software is a Mission Control hog. Without the ability to go OS X full screen, It's basically useless in any split view, meaning you can't use any application alongside it. I just want some checklist notes next to my applications so I can tick off my project notes as I go, but I guess I'll piggyback it onto my second computer or something. I feel like I'm in the 80s.

Can you imagine now though? Either El Capitan's multi-app feature will place a shared Mission Control on one side, or it won't work at all since Adobe software can't have its own screen. I don't know which is worse.

I don't feel I'm being hard on them, it's a request that's been heavily asked for since Lion came out, and the only reasons given are either that Adobe's full screen mode is better, and/or that our opinions are wrong entirely. If anything, I think Adobe's being too hard on its paying customers.

It's been clearly shown that if they wanted to keep veteran users using the full screen mode, they'd just have to implement both and give us the option to choose. I've actually been working more on my PC since Mission Control is such a mess. It's really been impeding on my workflow, as it clearly has for many others. It's just time for Adobe to get off their throne and realize that their option isn't always the best one.

But yes, also give credit where it's due. Incorporation of Metal will make things much smoother.

Don't be too hard on them. At least they are adopting metal.

Gotta love the customer service around here. $40/month to get told you're wrong when asking to implement a feature that even the oldest of apps are implementing. We'll be passing OS X El Capitan soon, folks.
