P: Bring Quick Share back to Photoshop (removed from 23.3)

[Peaceful_experts5FA9]

Adobe, bring back the Quick Share button that was at the top right of Photoshop (it was just removed with the April release of Photoshop 23.3)

The reasoning for removing it is stated as "due to low usage, desire to simplify the options bar UI, and redundant functionality to other export functions."

But there is no other export function (that I am aware of) that allows you to send an image directly to another device via AirDrop -- This was extremely convenient as I didnt have to save/export a file onto my HDD everytime I wanted to send something to my phone or tablet.
Please bring it back and tuck it away somwhere if you have to.

Edit: that link made sense before the separate topic was merged into the same topic that the link was pointing to!

If I get a chance I'll take a look at this, it should be doable between AppleScript. Automator, and Shortcuts.

Begging is not enough. You still have to vote...

What do you mean it's not gone? Maybe you haven't updated is why you still have it. 

[Peaceful_experts5FA9]

@J453 yes, I wasnt under the impression that this features removal was accidental. We are simply requesting that it be brought back (intentionally).

Why can't I Share by email now in Photoshop 2022? I always sent photos to my iPad this way and now I can only Share to iCloud.

Hi in photoshop when you press the share button you will see a window there is a mail option...regards

[Bojan Živković]

Are you on Mac? Post is tagged Windows but you are mentioning Apple products. 

[Roscodosco]

That option is no longer there since the update before the one I did yesterday. I no longer have the email option. I don't know how to get it back. 

[Roscodosco]

I'm on a Windows computer but before the latest updates of Photoshop Cc 2022, I had an option to email. I would email a photo to myself & view  on my iPad.

The quick share option has been removed in v23.3:

Thank you. That was a useful feature. I voted to bring it back. 

[Ahmed24157036ze4x]

PLEAASE, bring back that button.

ASAP

[JHillPhD]

They should give users the option to vote to keep features and not just remove it until everyone updates and then with no backup way of quickly sharing to our clients via airdrop on mac

[JHillPhD]

We all need to upvote the feature at the top of the post

[Roscodosco]

Bring it back, PLEASE, please, please. Not having it is making a lot of extra work to send files.

Why ADOBE why?!?? I just thougt genius how easy was to transfer from my photoshop screen to the iphone with one click. I'm on a MBP 2019 no M1... Dont wanna run Rosetta whatever... it was there until a month or less ago. WHY WHY WHY? 

[justnickrich]

Literally used it everyday multiple times a day, this was a horrible decision, they should have left it optional at least.  

[Daniel Haniger]

Ya think? Intentional... means there was a discussion and everybody in the room said ....share? [removed by moderator] Remove it! 

NOt a good decision as alot of us use it to transfer files to our iphones... and yes... Apple makes iphones.

[Kukurykus]

Official statement often doesn't refer internal marketing findings. I wouldn't take it too serious since it most likely doesn't explain unsaid motives but only justify them, perhaps to enforce us to use the product the way more beneficial for company.

[jeannies82383877]

Yes, this morning my share button is gone as well on my 2020 intel imac, so it's not only affecting M1 users.  This is totally ridiculous, is there somewhere we can complain, I mean what is the big deal leaving the share button there?!

[deebeeandswivel]

What the...? Removed for not being used... I can probably give you 50 features I have never used, but as I never use them I don't know what they are... SHARE however was/is one of the MOST useful features. Is it that Apple want some money for you to have it on there? Holy crap Adobe and Apple. Get a grip. I pay £50 a month for this software, I have spent tens of thousands on Apple products... so do millions of people. Don't you all have enough money? We use this feature more than many other features. For crying out loud... just give it back!

Removed for not being used...

There's more, useful to read the entire explanation: 

....desire to simplify the options bar UI, and redundant functionality to other export functions.

[bjohnson7377]

Why remove one of the biggest time savers in Photoshop? That was a very short sighted decision. Now I must save it as a jpg and drag it into an iMessage or an email. And their excuse that its redundant doesnt cut it. There's no other share function that exports a jpg to those platforms now. It just has to be done manually again. This is the opposite of progession. Back to the old way.
