The new Adjustment Panel is a User Experience nonsense

[Martin Dedron]

For all those who almost always use the adjustment panel, it needs to be visible, practical.

This means : having its options one click away without hiding your workplace.

This is exactly what the newly updated panel gets away from.

Before : 

After :

1.  Why adding a blank space between each pictogram? This takes way more space without bringing anything, therefore this is a horrible idea.
2. Why making it mandatory to display those newbie features??

Honestly, I am shocked by how ridiculous this is. Those presets are not even browsable, they are not described effectively, and more than anything, they are useless. If you know how to use the adjustment panel this is exactly what you don't want to see. It takes too much space on your screen, it brings absolutely nothing but an amateur "hey! this is what you can doo 8) soo fresh dayuum" 2011-web-early-SoMe editor.

I think this update is a total nonsense.

I would expect at least to be able to hide these useless features ; and to reduce the space in order to make a viable UI. If your screen is just filled with a flock of gadgets that tell you "yahhhooo look at this sunshine effect", then you just can't work.

Even with the "old" panel, too much space was used. I think there should just be a simple floating window, containing absolutely nothing more than what is below :

Thank you for understanding.

I voted for it too. If the developpers could understand the space viability of little panels that'd be great. For this reason I pasted my message there.

(1) might cater to those with touch screens. Spacing of the web too was "destroyed" when catering to most people becoming couch potatoes with iPads... 😉

Nice of Adobe, but it should be an option in the flyout menu.

[Martin Dedron]

iPads have their own versions... Adobe should not force unfit features that lowers the interface usability.

iPads was another subject.

I mostly meant people using large touch screen devices — the "monitor on your lap" kinda thing. I first imagined it could be cool for them to select tools with a finger, but after all they also have a pen for precise touch. And sure, that layout should be an option only.
