Remove "featured" advertisements from welcome screen

Earlier today Photoshop updated and added advertisements for new “features” to the front page. 

 

I pay you money. I should not have to scroll past advertisements for features I neither want nor use to get to my own files interface. I don’t want to have to disable the welcome screen entirely, I want it to be functional again. 

 

These should be optional. Add a toggle for them.

    I agree with every comment in this thread. I also don’t want the “Generate” box at the top--as if AI were my first choice… give me a break! Maybe Adobe could try vertical columns instead of horizontal bands, so everything would be at the top.

    On one launch they were actually gone and I had the old version that was I was able to hide. However, on the next launch, it had returned to the new version. So… that means it’s not hard coded and there should be a way to disable it.

    Well, I sure agree with EVERYONE on this post that it is the most annoying and irritating feature Photoshop has ever done. I hate having all this rubbish come up when I just want to get started with my graphics! If it’s not hard coded, Adobe, then give us the checkbox to make it go away! Thumbs up, mattb256!

    Does Quiet Mode disable it?

    Nope. Tried everything a Google search provided, including this. Doesn’t get rid of them. :^(

    Yes, please let us disable. This is distracting, takes up screen space, and is not helpful. I’m not interested in these features.

    I don’t want firefly and Ai adds on my home screen. I want to see my most recent images that I have worked on! I can’t find any way to turn this crap off, if any know how let me know. Very frustrating to see new feature and AI generation tool clutter.

    Agreed!! It’s already so frustrating that they’re forcing features onto users that I am ethically opposed to while also pushing prices up (no doubt in part to develop said features). The home page should be a dashboard for my working files, not for their advertisements for the software I am already paying them for >:(

    Maybe if enough of us protest the marketing people will actually listen,  But I’m not too hopeful.

    I agree absolutely.  What an abuse of the paying user.  Get rid of it or show us how to remove it
