P: Photoshop 23.2.2 Share Button is distracting

[Jeff Arola]

In photoshop 2022 (version 23.2), photoshop implemented a Blue Share button in the

top right corner of the app workspace that is supposed to turn into a button of the sme color as

the other tool options bar icons.

With the latest 23.2.2 update the Blue Share button does not go away after first use as described

on this page under Easily find the Share button

I reset the photoshop preferences as i do after every photoshop update by trashing the preferences folder.

Share button that the Blue Share button is supposed to appear as after first use

In the 23.2.2 update the button still stays as a Blue Share button after first use

@davescm That's so much better now 🤣

If you can't beat them, join them...or better yet, overdo them 😉

Anyway - modifying UIColors.txt still works, but you have to make a new one because it now has two added sections.

I have updated the file on github - Share-button-fix 

Сhecked its compatibility with earlier versions of Photoshop - the presence of added sections does not cause problems.

I'm curious to know how % of Adobe users really care or need all those sharing features anyway,
Seriously, stop forcing us to use Adobe Cloud, we don't need it and we won't extra pay for it.

Bring back the handy SHARE button in Photoshop FILE,it is quick and handy.The blue button on the right is slow and useless as it's saving the photo first to iCloud...

This should be an optional button, not required distraction.

There's also work around's to make it less annoying in the above link, I don't understand why Adobe keep pushing this eyesore on us 🙄

[D Fosse]

Yes, please go to the Bugs thread Ged linked to, and vote. We all hate this button and want it gone.

[rcraighead]

I already voted up on that thread. I was confused by the new "PS Feature Request" process. Oh well.

Away with [removed by moderator] ! Useless Button!

[jazz-y]

I got tired of keeping track of the number of elements inside the file with each update and updating the UIColors file manually, so I updated my script by adding a preset system and a couple of convenient functions that you might need when customizing the interface in some cases.

Please add quick share back. I understand it was removed due to low usage but the removal has greatly slowed down my process and made it very difficult for me. Also, when exporting it is difficult to know the quality with the number slider. The drop down menu was very straightforward.

Duplicate post. Please don't do this as it can waste our time.

[therebelkoda]

Please please please back QUICK SHARE FEATURE!

Thanks for the tip on how to change the colour.

Resetting preferences doesn't help unfortunatly.

PS has a long standing cutting edge visually atractive UI that doesn't distract workflow.  The subject relitively new addition

of a share document button is designed with a bright blue background. It screeming for the user's attention to click it. Is it tied to buying a subscription - thats the message I pick up.  Bad taste & needs to be corectected. Love ADOBE but this button must be consitant with PS's standard theme with white text and grey bacground.  Being a designer I think its ugly & distracting. THX

We've yet to hear from a single user who likes it, but quite a few (including me) find it annoying.

I'm new to PS 22 and am so glad to see that others find the Share button as annoying as I do.

[Ged_Traynor]

Finally an option to change the blue button to not blue 😁

[D Fosse]

Really? You mean it's fixed? A simple preference checkbox is all we ever asked for.

I've just spent a half hour re-modifying UIColors.txt once again, but I didn't have to do that?

EDIT: Indeed. I uninstalled/reinstalled just to get a clean table, and yes! It's no longer blue if you check that button. Wonderful, thank you whoever made that happen!

[Ged_Traynor]

Yep, unmodified UIColors.txt

[davescm]

Thanks Adobe - fixed in Preferences  v23.5 🙂

Yes, it looks like they just added two new elements and made a checkbox (as far as I remember, this was in early CS versions, when there was a separate switch to gray out the Photoshop logo on the toolbar)
