Photoshop filter panels preview

Dear Adobe Community,

can anyone explain me the reason why working with most filters in Adobe Photoshop is so clumsy and complicated? I mean - is everyone happy with the filter preview is usually shown in a separate panel, on a checkered background, separately from other layers? In example: Liquify, Filter gallery, Ripple and many many more. It is especially disturbing when working with light objects, which are hardly visible on that checkered board. I also don't get the logic of showing the filter preview separately from the rest of the picture - trying to set the right values of the effect is always like a blind date, the result can be seen only after applying the filter. This is so inefficient. 

If there is a way to change the preview modes on those filter panels, I don't seem to find it. There actually is a check mark in Liquify panel for "Show Image", but it changes nothing for me. Maybe anyone has tips for that? 

 

Thank you.

Some of those filters are decades old. Adobe actually used to sell a separate filter package as an add-on.

Yes. I still don't get it though, how come there's an update for the app every single month with new features, new tools, etc and at the same time it still includes this stuff from like 00s. I really think this Filter section of Photoshop has an urgent need to be completely rebuilt and I kind of wait for this for more than a decade already.
