Adobe to unclutter Photoshop UI
John Nack, senior product manager at Adobe, says the old Photoshop interface needs to be improved.
"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."
John writes about enhancing the Photoshop UI depending on what task the user is currently doing. The interface should be adaptable to the users need. John points at:
- Only offering the options you need in Photoshop
- Make Photoshop dramatically more configurable
- Tune the application to your taste, then share the knowledge
- Present solutions via task-oriented workspaces
- Remove outmoded functionality
- Polish what's already present in the interface
