P: Photoshop 26.10 Selective Color UI Changed

Contributor ,
Aug 04, 2025 Aug 04, 2025

So... one of the best Photoshop tools I've used for decades for color correction has been replaced overnight by a duplicate of "Color Balance." I can't simply no longer correct individual colors as I did intuitively before. Why has a tool that worked perfectly been destroyed? The change has been so disastrous and counterintuitive that I can only think it's a silly programming error!

Wasn't "Modern Interface" what Microsoft called Vista?

The redesigned Selective Color Correction window no longer displays previews. (MacOS 15.6., PSD 26.11.)

Since they've chenged the interface of the selective color tool, you can't use the shortcuts.

Normally you use Ctrl 1 for red, Crtl 2 for yellow and so on, but since the interface has changed this does not work.
It is a lot of extra work to get to your mouse, go to the second screen and click one of the colored buttons (why???), to select the next color.
So please fix this bug! 
P.S. I am glad the bug with the info pallet (before/after) has been solved, but I really would prefer my older version of Photoshop!

I've been using Photoshop since 1998 and I HATE this new palette. Please, Please change it back. It's unattractive, confusing and throws a wrench into my workflow. It doesn't even make sense. I am so dissappointed by this change. It was simple and straightforward before. Why add more clutter that hinders the simplicity and ease of use. Just my 2 cents. I H.A.T.E it.

I couldn't agree more!

They must have had a trainee that doesn't even understand that this palette was originally invented for correcting CMYK-files.
(I have been using Photoshop ever since version 2.0 - if I'm correct - 1993 or 1994;-)

This is simply not true. I used to use the shortcuts on the keyboard (Crtl1, Ctrl2 and so on) and it doesn't work anymore!

When you have to correct about 250 images, you don't want to use re-editable adjustment layers.
I only make small corrections for fine-tuning and I don't have time for the 'modern way'.

FYI, I use 26.6 at work, no choice, and CTRL+3, 4... works to change the colors, in the image>Selective Color. CTRL+1 and CTRL+0 does scale the interface.

Whyyyyy oh why did you mess with my selective color tool? It was beautiful as it was and this new slider is driving me nuts. It most definitely is NOT working the same and I can't simply "ignore it." The results are very different and I find it impossible to get the result I'm trying to see. Is there no way to revert to legacy?
