Thanks Pattie.  I have to say that I am not a fan of the changes to the Adjustment Layers panel.  We now have the choice of icons that are too small to see easily — for some of us — or the long list that takes a ton of screen space.  

[Pattie-F]

Thanks for the feedback, Trevor. I will pass it on.

Thanks Pattie.  There are a number of opinions in this thread.  I tagged Pete Green so he might be aware of it already.

You can change the view by closing the expanded ‘Adjustment presets’ and clicking on the icon to the right of 'individual adjustments' to switch from ‘list’ to ‘grid’ view.

Is it possible to close whole adjustment preset, i dont find useful so its annoying and having "space" at side bar

[Liam Dilley]

For me there currently does feel an essense of different teams on different elements of Photoshop and other apps and not nessarily being overseen enough to have that continuity.

[Randy Hufford]

I love and live for Photoshop!!

Adjustments panel needed no changes whatsoever. Please revert. Live Gradients are excessively slow and laggy – major set back in productivity. Please add option to disable live gradients.
