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

Even worse, the button pulses about once per second on my iMac workstation, even if I set the UI to neutral colour scheme. Truly distracting for a button I never use.

@Air Bob I just made it invisible 😀 a combination of amending the UIColor text file and enabling Neutral Color Mode

I wish someone would update this at Adobe and solve this irritating issue.

Neutral Color Mode does not change the Share button's color. It blinks on both Apple Silicon and Intel powered machines even in the newest version. Users shouldn't need to make code configuration changes to solve this.

Suggesting a new feature something is fine, but this button is blinking so much it feels like Adobe is forcing this on us!

@jane-e Photoshop version 24.5 here and even though I dismissed the Share pop up on my pevious version, after updating its back but no longer is the Dont Show Again option popping up. Any ETA on getting this fixed once and for all????

The "share" button sits right over the space that confirms a placement!  Please get rid of that.  It's useless.

I agree, this was a silly feature, or at least the way it was implemented is very juvenile. I honestly can't think of a single scenario where I need to share SO urgently that I need a permanent floating blue button accessible at all times. Yes, Adobe, I saw your very dodgy response suggesting we just change the color of it. That is not a solution and frankly that kind of blatantly dodgy suggestion is frankly annoying. A floating button like that should never be placed in this type of UI. I literally have to minimize the window to see the Accept button in certain scenarios, and it also blocks other tools depending on my layout. This is the type of bush league UX that makes me seriously question what's going on behind the scenes.
