Are you interested in creating custom adjustment presets on Ps Desktop?

I really hate the adjustments presets displayed by default, especially because one preset was bright orange--just as bad as the old blue Share button as a distraction. I removed the presets using C27618681pmp5's helpful instructions. 

I agree with those who want the old panel with icons, same size and resolution as before. Glad to see it looks like happening!

Pivotal to this will be how individual presets can be labelled: clearly enough to be discernable at a glance, compactly enough to show many presets at once. As a starting point, you should refer the Shapes panel rather than the current Adjustments panel.

The "Large List" mode of the Shapes panel manages to have larger thumbs and clearer text all while using less vertical space than the current Adjustment preset List Mode. 

The Shapes panel has various other features that would likely translate well to custom adjustments, such as the option of large thumbs & small thumbs, optional row of recently used thumbs, optional search bar, and nameable and re-orderable folders. 

So don't reinvent the wheel and further fragment the UI, but base the new changes on pre-existing UI language that is already quite solid.

I loved the Configurator too! Being able to customize/simplify to just the tools I needed was brilliant. Ps keeps getting more complicated with new features that I don't need, so being able to reduce the options shown would be wonderful. Then they change the interface which just makes life harder. If they had put the new adjustment presets under the legacy that wouldn't be so annoying. 

The ability to create custom panels was great with the help of the old Adobe Configurator.

I now find essential to my professional workflow is - Configurator Reloaded.

Custom Presets
As PS has no real (fast) preset (preview) system (unlike ACR and Lr), it would for sure be extremely helpful to see quick previews of some of my own actions, or adj layers selectable by me.

My "biggest regret" is that there is no quick preview system for LUTs and as it is also an adjustment layer, this might finally solve it?

For the previews, I even suspect you first saved the adjustment layers as a LUT and use that for the on-hover previews? At least, that would make it quick on older computers too. ATM, it does take about a second on my old PC, which is way too long, esp. as changing actual LUTs is still fast here. I guess those in ACR are GPU-accelerated, and a new PC will solve that too.

I will probably wish icons could optionally be kept very small as well, so I can quickly audition a dozen of common adjustments/LUTs w/o having to mess up my workspace. I don't mind if in this mode I would lose the preview in the icon.

Panel organization
See above (small icon option) + 
For me the main thing is that they could either be displayed all by themselves in the current panel, or in their own new panel.  (This is because I use a custom panel with Adjustment layer icons and want to avoid doubling up.)

It is a bit confusing...the other thread is about the panel in general, but this one primarily for suggestions about the presets section.

I don't have any, as I just want the presets section to go away altogether. Or be split out into a separate panel that I can close - as long as my own presets are still available in the Properties panel rolldown. So that's my suggestion 😉

Perhaps the following topic is a good place to start?

How to switch back to legacy Adjustments panel?
