So disappointed in Photoshop Express compared to Photoshop Fix!

[joey_aloha]

I've LOVED Photoshop Fix, and Photoshop Express just sucks for the things I use Fix for.

So far, the following completely ruins my workflows, and if Fix stops working, I'm going to have to find an alternative to Photoshop on mobile (and I pay for a CC subscription).

• No ability to paint color (can't change someone's eye colors now or darken limbal rings)
• No ability to darken or lighten with a brush
• No ability to saturate or desaturate with a brush
• The heal and warp (reshape) brush tools utterly suck... you can't see the brush size when you zoom, and it doesn't remember the last settings (opacity, feathering, size), so you have to reset every time. The Reshape tool also just doesn't work as well as the old warp tool.
• The "restore" tools on the brush tools don't let you set feathering

It's such a downgrade, and the features that got moved over are just way harder to use.

Huge bummer.

JUST BRING BACK MIX!!!!

It was perfect just the way it was and now I can't access my 100+ edit or make new ones. This new app is WORTHLESS!!!!! I will never spend money on Adobe products again and will actively convince others to do the same until you undo this stupidity!

[Ralph3784043654i9]

Bring back photoshop mix.  It is user friendly.  Your site says Photoshop Mix is now on Photoshop Express? Where is it on there?  I have been looking and can't find it anywhere? This is frustrating.   I would pay for Photoshop Mix if you brought it back.

I read the link, but it doesn't explain how to do the things I used to do with Mix and Fix, and it doesn't show where these things are located in Express.  I am lost!

You keep replying with the same reply, like you are an AI Robot.  Your stock reply is showing me bright colors and candy pop filters to photos, filters that I never use.  But nothing is said about things I do use.  Layers, making parts of the layers get cut out the way I want, with options to easily enlarge, or shrink elements, to reconstruct a photo using what I used to be able to just easily control it to do.  You got rid of all of these easy to control options.  What you gave us is layers, but no way to control what is in the layers.  When something goes wrong, I have to start over and hope I remember the steps.  There is no way to easily backtrack.  And you have words describing things that I don't recognize.  So I have to Google these words to see if you are now calling functions I used to do with these new words.  Most of the time I end up not even understanding what these words are or what they do.  What used to be user friendly, is now like learning a new language.  It just dosn't work, and I end up getting frustrated, and just quit.

I 100% agree! PS Express is terrible in conmparison to Photoshop Fix. I evern paid for the extra perks and its worthless. No layers, no accurate brushes, only lets you edit the face (what in the actual world). I use this as wuick editing for work and now theres nothing availbke compared to it!! 

[Brad38035797db9v]

Please bring back fix and mix and just charge people. PS express brings nothing but stress.

[Liana32458400jqu9]

Adobe, I would pay for PSmix!!!! I used it for my business of designing fabric. I cannot achieve the fluid design process in PS, fresco or Express. In Express, Adobe assumes that the user just wants to erase the background or mask out a person. I used the original PSmix to creat complex designs but it was easy in PSmix. I will pay to use it!! It was a great app and so fluid and easy to use. 

[Liana32458400jqu9]

I agree. Photoshop mix was user friendly, I felt like I was magic melding layers. It was so fluid. Mix is in Express, but, you can only erase layers separately without seeing the other layers behind it. It is not the same. Adobe please fix this. I'm actually afraid to start learning and using Fresco and Express because you will only delete those apps, too, once Adobe no longer wants to maintain them.

[Liana32458400jqu9]

Adobe, please make mix in photoshop express work the same as it did when Mix was a stand alone. I created so many fabric designs for my business using Photoshop mix. I cannot achieve the fluid design process in Photoshop Express. What I liked and need: the ability to duplicate a layer, rotate, flip, mirror the new layer. Once having 8 layers of the same image mirrored, rotated, have the ability to erase on active layer with both the smart tool or the manual tool. Then being able to add back in on active layer in places necessary. I have tried this in Fresco, I can erase, but, not add back in. Yes, I can undo, but, I need the ability to add parts of an erased layer maybe several steps later. In the current mix in express, it separates the active layer from the design so the user has to guess what needs to be erased. Attached is a sample of how I used the original Photoshop mix .  I had one image that I could rotate, mirror, erase strategically on active layer while seeing the layer underneath and adding back in on active layer where necessary. I cannot do this in current mix in express. Nor , can I figure out how to do this in photoshop. 

[Liana32458400jqu9]

Please bring back mix!!! I designed for work on PSmix on my Ipad. It was perfect and easy to use. Mix in PS Express does not work the same. I don't want to start trying to use Fresco for out of fear that Adobe will just end these new apps like they ended Mix and sketch.

Why say you'll fix it later if you aren't going to?
And why is this tread labels "solved" ??

Hi. I'm not sure if it's just me, however it's not giving me an option to submit any features feedback on this link? I cannot see a suggestion section. 

Ive have basically lost like 80% of the fix features I used daily. It's devastating and ive not seen one person say they are happy with the express premium, so I'm not convinced. 

[Jamie379698379lnq]

How do we submit this sorry? The link is just taking me to the discussion page. Do we do the suggestions via the live chat? 

I take it there is no chance of reactivating the fix app until these features have been moved over? Thanks 

[Brad38035797db9v]

It's sad that adobe did this. I would be happy paying for mix and fix.

[세경379419848nt9]

There are so many people who have the same opinion, but Adobe parrots the same answer. I don't need anything else. Please edit Photoshop and return the mix! I don't mind paying for it. Adobe doesn't understand the benefits of mobile editing apps at all. I've been using Mobile Photoshop Fix for quick work, and I'm completely disappointed with Photoshop Express, which is connected as an alternative. I paid 50,000 won for a subscription, but I won't be making any additional purchases again. Photoshop Express is full of features that I really don't have, and I've deleted all the practical and easy tools that existed. I unilaterally deleted the Photoshop Fix without reflecting the consumer's opinion at all. I won't trust Adobe anymore because I think this could happen again.

[Kurt15D5]

Here's a suggestion. Make it exactly like Photoshop fix so I don't have to learn another program. Photoshop fix was a wonderful program that I would've paid money for to use because it was so damn good. This new version of Photoshop? I can't write down the words that I feel because I will probably be removed from this forum permanently. 

[Ralph3784043654i9]

Why are you asking us for updates to make Photoshop Xpress better when you actually had sites that worked perfect. Just take what's there and stick them in Photoshop express. That's your job not ours. You came up with a fantastic product. You took this fantastic product away from us. You left us with something that was substandard And hard to use. And now you're asking us how you can fix it? Do you have the technology. Just fix it... give back what you took away from us 

[MROCH]

I have to agree, its 80% of the way there but needs some tweaks to make it more like the desktop app I feel completely unfamiliar compared to the real deal and the iPad app is great. Same story for the mobile premiere app, both have most of what they need under the hood but it's confusing to use especially if you expect it to work anything like the real apps in my honest opinion. Still love having them both for a few simple edits but they are really hard

to use and take more than twice as long to do something I would normally do on desktop. Getting there!

[Brad38035797db9v]

What you said is perfect. This is such a disappointment.

[IY____]

YES, EXACTALLY WHAT PEOPLE THINK !

So disapponting of the fact that is covered by the other app 'WHEN IT DOSE NOT COVER ALL the good FIX's functions !'

[Anna38485181z6rm]

100% AGREE!! This product is truly worthless.
