The current design gives a huge importance to the degrees of grey showing workspace, panels, stacks or selections. While having the choice of light or dark 'skins' seems an excellent idea, I am pretty sure that won't happen. By the way, the last (hardly visible) change in organizer 2022 is a still 'lighter' interface which does not help visibility. adaptation to small screens and new trending 'lighter' modes for other uses. ergonomy for non sedentary editing/management I do believe that ten years ago, when Adobe decided to 'revamp' the UI, especially for the organizer, they optimized to two new factors: Today's smartphones and tablet intensive users have different needs and their preferences have led them to forget desktops and switch to laptops. Now, I am not an ergonomy nor eyesight specialist, but I am happy to still have a correct vision at 76 after a life before many kinds of displays. Not long viewing/editing sessions on a small, near display. For organizing, there is a difference: I often use a laptop when moving or travelling and I have to adapt to many kinds of ambient lighting. That's critical for those who have to print regularly or perform detailed retouching. That means, ideally working in optimized lighting condition, on a large desktop display at reasonable distance. I am happier with the new interface of the organizer since PSE11, but that's not critical for me, provided I am working in ergonomic conditions for editing and organizing. You justify this totally valid preference by your 'eye strain'. No option at all doesn't do anyone any favors.īy I understand that you prefer a dark interface like the one in PSE10. At the very least, there should be an option to have both. Just because it works for YOU doesn't mean it works for everyone else. No need for a subscription.Ĭome on man, this light theme is killing my eyes.

My suggestion for you now is to take advantage of what Adobe makes available for you for free: use Bridge as your organizing software instead of the organizer. Creating an alternative based on your tastes would be creating a whole new software: a big and costly change for how many potential buyers? It's not a simple matter of changing 'skins' or backgrounds. The problem is that it's not a question of 'omitting' an alternative in interface, it's that the alternative does not and can't exist for the current interface choices. It's legitimate that you ask what you prefer, ok. better adaptation to the new modes of editing: not only in a controlled environment but also on laptops in any kind of lighting.

aptitude to differentiate the status of thumbnails by subtle grey variations which let you distinguish immediately the selected ones, the stacked/versioned ones and so on. More important, the new interface has decisive advantages for organizing. The dark interface is a serious issue for my old eyes (I would not say a 'killer', but a remnant of the over contrasty UI of the old days the kind UI and ergonomy specialists are no longer supporting). By the way, choosing black image window backgroung may enhance the colors of the image by contrast, but that may be misleading.īack to the organizer with its revamped PSE11 interface. It's not a problem with the editor where you can change the background color. Long term user of an old PSE version before PSE11 can't boast to be a 'long term customer'.Ī very, very small number of old PSE users prefer the old dark Organizer interface.
