Photoshop CC 2023 Update

Question

Today I started editing a couple of images in PS CC, and found the side panel had changed significantly, offer MANY drop-down options that weren't there yesterday (or at least were organized totally differently). I find this new organization far more complex and less intuitive, which has caused my editing workflow to become much more time consuming and laborious. In my mind, this isn't a welcome change, andf seems misguided. I'm wondering if the development team actually ASKED PS users what they prefer before making the changes.

@Clark S.

If you are in Photoshop, which workspace were you using before and which one are you using now? Best practice is to arrange the panels as you prefer, then save the arrangement as a new Workspace. All of this is in the Window menu.

(or ask again)

As Jeff said, we need a screenshot. Otherwise we are guessing.

Which specific options are you looking for? We can tell you where they are so you don't have to hunt.

Yes. There is a public beta version of Photoshop where users are asked to report bugs and provide feedback before features move into the released version. You can download it as a separate install from the CC app in the Beta section.
