P: New user interface lacks contrast and many usability cues, lots of other problems

I just updated to Photoshop CC(2015) version 2015.1. Adobe changed the UI to the flat look you see on phones and tablets. I do not see any way to select the classic interface, which I'm sure many desktop users of PS prefer.

This feels yet another attempt by Adobe to be trendy without caring about what users want or need. Didn't they learn anything from the dumbed-down Lightroom import fiasco?

    It would be way easier for me to use the new UI if it was like this: http://f.cl.ly/items/0E3p08041f2y0p2b...

    Aside from the new buttons in the dialogs which are not like the rest of the system UI, but at least changing this it would be great.

    Not interested, I'm waiting for the UI to be fixed or a "classic" option to be added back.

    + Even in the white option, lines, buttons and elements are in a too light gray that makes everything look the same. And I don't like the white or dark options, dark theme is tiring for my eyes and white is much too bright after a long use.

    Changing the UI doesn't help because all the elements have too similar color. Lines separating the layers, for example, are almost the same color as the background in the panel, so the names of the layers are easily readable but not each item as a separated thing themselves. I'm not interested in reading the layers name as much as seeing the different items in a panel and items in a glimpse.

    Please chat to an Adobe representative, they will help you online and control your computer to downgrade. I did it and it was a really good support but it took more than an hour. I suggest all of you do this so they know this is a very big problem for many users that will need a serious fix.
