“Shall we add some useful new features in this version? Perhaps Lazy Mouse or incremental undo for brush strokes?”

“Nah lets add 3D, that’ll be REALLY useful.”

Every time I use the brush tool in Photoshop I wish for both lazy mouse and incremental undo… and every time I’m reminded they squandered time and money on the useless 3D feature.

And this is coming from someone who has tried to use the 3D feature and even suggested it as a solution to problems for colleges. Every time we’ve given up after an hour or so because it just plain doesn’t work.

Another one missing from the “Known Issues” List? Do they even try working in their own expensive piece of software when they test it? Or does someone in some 3rd world digital battery farm who doesn’t give a shit just go down a list checking things off?

Update: You need to uncheck “Align new objects to pixel grid” when making a new document. They could have added this feature without it looking so fucking broken.

This always bothered me. Why does one color picker text box include the “#” and one doesn’t? You can’t cut and paste the color from one to the other without having to either remove or add a “#”. It’s two different ways in the same application!

Photoshop: Colour picker inaccuracies

As a digital designer I’m actually insulted that Adobe is investing time, staff and money in creating a product to make it easier for print designers (I’m guessing this is the goal seen as it’s InDesign inspired) to create web pages.

If you want to help web designers then invest time and money in Fireworks or a true Fireworks sucessor (NOT created with Adobe Air).

I would have said “Make Photoshop not suck for UI work” but it would require changes at a fundamental level so there is no point.

Photoshop: Starting to notice a hell of a lot of bugs that are absent from Adobe’s list of know Lion issues. Opening image sequences is completely broken.

How many months did these incompetents have to test this? Yet they miss functionality as basic as this.

Love how Adobe wasted their time developing a non-standard 8 corner resizing system for all their applications… then Apple releases their own system which still leaves the Adobe products feeling woefully hacked together because they wrote their own glitchy shit in the first place when it’s not their responsibility to decide what is an OS shortcoming and what should be fixed by them regarding window management.
