I am trying to decide what photo editor to change to after years of using another application that is no longer being sold. I am using the trial version of Adobe Elements and the one thing i find completely lacking is a tool bar (or ribbon) for common items along the top. Almost every application i have ever seen has one. Making it one click to save, open, zoom, copy or past, center, etc. There is certainly enough room along the top to add one. I understand you can use keyboard shortcuts like control-c, etc. But I am handicapped and using the keyboard is a pain in the butt! Even if I weren't, I would still want this almost universal feature. Why bury these things two (or more) clicks deep in pull down menus when you could just click in a customizable ribbon, making the workflow so much easier.
I understand some people may not want one, so make it an option in Expert mode. Is there any way to get a common task tool (or ribbon) bar at the top, or is there any plan to do so. This may be a deal breaker for me. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Here is an example of what i am talking about. In fact, if you post a reply, you will see a very similar tool bar (or ribbon) in the posting editor on this very site.
