The home screen is a real nuisance - its ugly, clumsy, dumb and destroys a workflow.

Here is how my screen looks now:

Is there no way to get Photoshop back and get rid of this abomination?

Hi,

Do you see the < next to the Ps icon when you have a document open? If so, that typically means you are entering the Home screen by clicking on the 'home' icon. If it isn't showing then you have invoked the Home screen in some way, but I'd need steps to understand how. Opening documents in floating windows will not auto-dismiss, and you'll have to use ESC.

Hi David,

That is a curious looking workspace (floating windows and panels, no tool bar). Is that a saved custom workspace or just a modified one of the existing workspaces? Does selecting ESC when Home is active dismiss it? And which version of Windows is this?

What steps are part of your workflow, as well?

regards,

steve

It's curious because Photoshop is joining the home screen and my custom workspace together to create a mutation. This is what my unadulterated custom workspace looks like when I can use it -

ESC does indeed allow me to get rid of the home screen. I am using W10 Pro 64bit 1909, 32gb memory, i9-9980HK cpu, in a Dell XPS 15 7590 laptop

Any ideas?
