Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI
spotplace writes "It's not common to see a company blast their own product for failing to adapt to times and people's necessities, unless they're trying to give you a reason to buy the latest and greatest of said product. That's exactly what Adobe has done. John Nack, senior product manager at Adobe, says the old Photoshop interface doesn't cut it anymore: "I sometimes joke that looking at some parts of the app is like counting the rings in a tree: you can gauge when certain features arrived by the dimensions & style of the dialog. No one wants to work with — or work on — some shambling, bloated monster of a program.""
work th9a7 you of OpenBSD versus numbers continue
3ds MAX comes to mind.
I'm talking to you, AutoDesk. Your competitors are getting better and better, and with more modern interfaces. It's not your fault your the oldest--but it is your problem. Pick the best of your competitor's interfaces, and steal it.
Feel free to contact me to do this for you. I gaurantee that with your functionality and a modern interface, you will be unchallenged again for another ten years.

You're all invited to try out, and share, if you like, WinImages. It's free to download and there are no restrictions on your tryout other than technical support - unpaid copies don't get any. WinImages is an extremely powerful image editing and manipulation suite with a strong emphasis on layered image handling and efficient tool interaction.
With regard to the subject at hand, we've offered user configurable tool caddies for years now. You can select any tool that suits you for any particular type of job, drag it into a new or already populated tool caddy, name the resulting tool set, and save it for (re)use at any time. Adding a tool is as simple as drag and drop.
WinImages operates under Windows 98 and up, under Parallels or Bootcamp under OS X, and I suspect it probably works fine under Wine though I don't actually know that.
If you would like a copy, use the contact form here (except between 2:00 am and 2:30 am MST) and provide us with your name and your email. We'll use the email to send you your download information, and nothing else unless you contact us and tell us otherwise. Your name goes in the registration info for the program - and to anyone you give the program and registration info to (which is perfectly OK to do - just give 'em the whole thing so they're aren't w/o the docs or a properly working install, etc.) Or you can give 'em the program/installation and tell them to get their own free code from us, if that suits you better.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
I recently installed CS3, I checked Photoshop and Illustrator in the installer. Imagine my surprise when, apart from the additional Adobe crap I never asked for, I suddenly have two Opera browsers, in addition to the one I installed myself, for a grand total of three Operas. Hiding inside the Bridge CS3.app and Device Central.app packages, sniping torrent files, showing up in menues etc. Uh oh, now Photoshop is beachballing like crazy because I tried to "Save for Web & Devices"... I think it's on to me.
Why can't I manipulate graphics with text commands any more?
Why do some comments have a black border around them?
I find it amusing you got modded Redundant rather than Offtopic or Flamebait.
It means what you said, that the GIMP is not a scratch upon on Photoshop, is so obvious to everyone it not worthy to be included in this conversation.
You missed the emoticon?
nice sig.
