CS Photoshop/Illustrator, User interface-Brightness

It is possible to adjust User Interface-Brightness in Preferences in Illustrator, but I can't find any in Photoshop.
Anyone can help me?

No one knows?

Photoshop's User Interface brightness

Hi there,
could anyone try to explain to me why all the other applications from Adobe (concretely from the Production Premium bundle) have the sweet ability to darken their user interface, but Photoshop doesn't?
Photoshop is THE ONLY application that's missing the sweet slider to darken/brighten the user interface. I just discovered that even Illustrator CS4 has this ability, Premiere does, After FX does, so, what's the point? Why can't I darken Photoshop a bit? I think it's a bit more crucial to darken the UI in Photoshop than it is in Illustrator, as you're more likely to perform very sensitive color corrections in Photoshop and anything bright stands in your way, which is BAD!
I hope a soon-to-be-released patch will fix this.
Thanks in advance, cheers,
- Lukas

Hey, Rob,
thanks for the tip, I use the same technique, I was just really almost shocked when I discovered that even Illustrator has this sweet slider to adjust the user inteface brightness.
I'm amazed that such a key photo editing software wouldn't have this feature. Like Lightroom, that's almost completely black, why can't we tune down Photoshop's UI brightness?
Don't get me wrong, CS4 is ways better than CS3 even in terms of UI brightness, but still, if the sliders are available in all other Adobe products (Premiere, After FX, Illustrator, Soundbooth and I bet it's in Flash, InDesign and Acrobat...), why isn't the same option in Photoshop?

Photoshop Elements 9 - user interface brightness

WTF? Where is an option to change a brightness of PE's interface?
This is really annoying to work again with dark interface. I hate it.
Hey. Adobe!
Please make quickly an upgrade to this option. I feel I am very dissapointed with this upgrade and all great new stuffs doesn't compansate this big loose.
BTW. new help system works horrible slow! (I have fast connection if someone want to ask).
Not good. Not good.

Yes. The truth might be that there is new interface core. PE9 works and launches really faster and better. That is great!
But base question - what the difference can make an interface's colour? NONE.
Believe me, this is not matter what colour is used in any core.
Just it looks like that Adobe forgot about that option.
I always hate dark backgrounds with white fonts ... this is horrible to work with for me.
I work many hours per day with images and I switch between different applications.
And switching often between "dark screen" and "bright screen" really makes mash from the eyes. This is horrible.

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5

Illustrator CC 17.1.0 running on MacBook Pro i7 OSX 10.9.5 - crashes when editing preferences, user interface. Also crashes when quitting application. Anybody any ideas?

While 2 GB is the absolute minimum to install Mavericks, if you want to do anything with the Mac you need more then that. Upgrade your RAM.
Until you upgrade the RAM seriously consider shutting down the Mac nightly. You should also seriously review the items in the User Login Items to see if there are any there that you really don't need to have startup with your login to reduce the amount of RAM you are using.

Why among plans of a subscription of Creative Cloud there is no user option of a subscription? Why there is no universal plan of a subscription for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro - the most running appes? Thanks.

Acrobat DC User Interface: Way to Change Theme? (Too Bright)

Just installed Acrobat Pro DC -- an first thing I notice compared to my typical darker themes (Windows, Office, and even previous Adobe product versions) is that the user interface is extremely bright. It's like surfing bright webpages, and hard on the eyes.
Is there any way to darken the UI (Themes, etc.) ?

I have to add my name to this series of complaints...
The new design is appalling. As others have said, it is way too bright with no contrast between documents and interface and no way to skin the UI the way you would like to. Not only that but it fails to remember where you last stored docs, instead featuring an annoying pop up asking me what I want to do next. Coming from the top design software suppliers in the world ( I thought ), you wonder why the team that designed this was not forced to lie on the floor while the rest of the Adobe designers laughed at them.
Seriously, was this designed for a 10 year old occasional user? Take that back a 10 year old would have moved on....
And that ghastly menu which takes up all that space with no contrast. And I know my name, you dont have to include it on the top right.
I really thought XI was a great tool and nice to use. This is a real step back.
Please give us some or all of the following:
A customisable interface
An option to choose an "old-style" Adobe Acrobat XI option if we prefer
The ability to remove annoying features in a proper preferences setting (such as my name - did I mention, I know who I am)
The ability to alter contrast
Advanced settings
etc etc - Everything anyone has said above
And please - if anyone at Adobe actually listens, do NOT take this design and transfer it to your other software.

Photoshop CS6: Dark user interface style [UI skin] like Premiere Pro or Lightroom?

For Photoshop CS6, how about add option to set a dark user interface style [UI skin] like Premiere Pro or Lightroom? It's very helpful to be able to work on images in a dark interface because it enhances our eyes' perception of color. Can this be possible in CS6?

Actually, there is some value in changing the background color.
Contrast of the image with surrounding gray values does affect your perception of tone and saturation in the image.
So you want to view the image with a surround that comes close to the value that the final result will be viewed in.
For print, that means a 50% gray or lighter surround (mimicking the world).
For video that means something darker but not really black.
And for movies you want a nearly black surround.
Unfortunately, OS controls/widgets aren't designed to do that. Premiere and AE managed it by creating all their own controls and not using OS controls.

User Interface (UI) Too Small on InDesign and CC Suite

I have a 27″ IMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. Its native screen resolution is 2560×1440.
When I opened CC Indesign 2014 for the first time I was shocked to see that the tools and rest of the user interface were SO SMALL that I was having tremendous difficulty seeing them clearly. I'm talking 5 and 6 point type!!! And the icons... minuscule!
I lowered the resolution of the display, but type then becomes fuzzy. I searched the web and found that there were others who were having the same problem.
I find it hard to believe that a company specializing in software for the design/creative community would overlook something as CRITICAL as size of the graphical user interface and its customization to work optimally on different platforms and with different display sizes and to satisfy the particular needs of each user.
The UI obviously greatly impacts our working speed and facility.
I called Adobe and their tech support could not help. I called Apple and got the same.
I've been a graphic designer for over 20 years. Frankly, at this point, I find the suite UNusable (I took a quick look at Photoshop and Illustrator and the same issue applies).
This is just unbelievable! Anyone out there have an answer?
Someone suggested we should repeat our complaints INDEPENDENTLY in the general forum instead of them being buried on one thread. GREAT IDEA!!

CC 2014 has a Expermental Preference you can use to increace the UI size 200% for High resolution displays

Why hasn't Adobe navigation and user interface design improved as much as it could have over time?

I haven't tried CS6. I'm sure it's great based on what i've seen alone. But as a user of adobe products for a number of years, i have to noticed there are still a lot of stagnant,awkward, stiff, irriating, slowing down elements found in the navigation and user interface on cs3-cs5, that i'm sure could have been eliminated or improved on at least from 2005 or 2007 onwards. I find some of these things inexcusable and unprogressive from bad traits that defined 1980's and 1990's general computer navigation and so on.
CS5.5 has lessned this a bid bit and is more fluid in bits and pieces but for those using cs3-cs5 and in general, i find some things just horrid. As a graphic designer no one is supposed to admit the flaws or irrations of these programs. We must hail them as god, never critisize, and always adjust to new things which i think is a bit fascististic and silly
The way the tools, options are laid out can be improved to be quicker, and easier to find and use. Using your voice as a commanding system would be helpful as well.
A lot of cmds are too complex to remember, they can be simplier or resemble the name of the tool or option. Its makes a chore to follow this system and competition for the smart *** who memormized all the cmds.
The way in which you loose floating side boxes, and the amount of tools or names hidden in the bars sometimes seem random and its always a constant search to find them incase you forget where they are.
The inability to open cs4 or 5 files in cs3 is just beyond extremly annoying. Whey shouldn't you be able to open cs1 or 2 files or photoshop 9 files as well? Every five years work expires as well?
The layering system gets tricky and seems that a lot of things don't work when you normally move things. Its about going back, remembering and clicking on this or that, looking it up to make everything work. Sometimes which leaves you in a rut and wastes a good amount of time. You will always find this even after you've been using it for years.
The use of the fill paint/airbrushing, clone tool, lasso tool, pen tool, history being two steps back can be vastly improved to be much better to use
Masking and tools that have more complex features should find a way be automatically done or sampled. They can also have less complex steps and tha ability to be previewed, automatic or simpler ( in case you can't remember how to do something or aren't getting it)
A lot of the special effects, and blending modes are useless, outdated, super-ugly and don't resemble true darkroom effects ( such as polarization, and bas-relief for example) which they could much more vividly done. There also could be more options that are closer to repro cameras/CTP software for halftoning and more complex digital effects.
Having to press or get used to pressing muliple keys or clicks for the most basic things simultaneously can be reduced to be easier
Adjusting text, new documents, photos should have a smoother, quicker navigational experince where things a lot of room to be , clicked back, re-done, saved in the wrong place etc..
Indesign could use more shapes, include more features that illustrator has, and possibly even photoshop to save time.
There should be a way to remind you of features, complex things you've forgotten, other than history and daily usage/practice of the programs
The help should resemble more of "visual -learners" guide books with voice features.
There are a lot more
Regarding other things:
I think the price encorages more piracy and allows people to not have a concept of what is means to owning software.
The loss of a manual or lessening of them for certain programs is a loss because it's always useful to physical info you can flip through while looking at your program.
I think adobe should make entirely better products for professionals or people in the industry rather than spoonfeeding the same software to all.
They should also make less expensive add-ons like before for graphic software.
What do you adobe could have improved over time and if so what do you think they could have improved on?

CS6 Hi Resolution Screen User Interface Problems

I have a new Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop which has a native resolutions of 3200 x 1800. When I install the CS6 suite on this laptop, the user interfaces are too small to be seen.
Here are some screen shots. Oddly enough, inDesign is the only application that looks proper.
Photoshop
Illustrator
Dreamweaver
InDesign
I've tried to find a solution to this but I can only come up with "Retina" based fixes... Have you guys made these fixes for PC users?

I have the same computer and have patiently waited for the fix.... what a waste of time!!! This is absolutely incredible that a company that wants to compete in the graphic software market will not support resolutions which are rapidly becoming the standard... ADOBE your non-support is an absolute disgrace to your customers that spend money on your software....

UI (User Interface) text size and colors

Recent versions of Elements (7, 8, 9) have changed to a user interface which is predominantly shades of gray and black with few if any user options for color or font. The font size cannot be altered because Adobe use their own pixel-based font which is not compatible with Windows Desktop settings. So on many flat screens with high resolutions the font becomes almost unreadable. The upper case 'E' in the menu bar Edit for example, is a mere 2.03mm high on a 22" display at 1920x1080 resolution.
This has been mentioned a number of times over these releases to no avail, but at last there may be a change on the way for PSE 10 (later later this year?).
So if you feel the gray/black UI needs attention I suggest you visit
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/my_eyes_need_help_with_photoshop
where there are a number of comments. This is monitored by Adobe so may influence the next release. The more request there are I suspect the more likely some action. Adobe have already commented: "The amount of conversation that this thread has generated among Elements customers was unanticipated." on the thread.
If you wish to place a comment you will need a Photoshop Account and to be logged in. If you didn't create an account when you installed the product then just click Create Account at the top of the link above.

Font sizes are hard-coded in teh apps and there is no way to change that. The new CC versiosn support high-DPI displays and resolve those issues (mostly).

CS2 - Help won't open in Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive

Hi,
I am unable to open the help center in Creative Suite 2 for Photoshop, Illustrator, and GoLive.
After I click help, or press F1 to open help, I see the help program appear as a button on my Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen. But if I click on it to open/switch to help, nothing happens. It's like the help center is "invisible".
I have tried renaming my prefs file to see if a new prefs file would fix it. It didn't.
It seems like this is a problem I had with the previous version of these programs, too. (I think that was Photoshop 7??) I had fixed it in that version, but can't remember what the fix was. I can't seem to find this problem in the forums or support either.
It's driving me crazy!! Can anyone help?
Thanks!

The help (zip) files are still available:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=319210&sliceId=2
While this addresses an issue that CS2 users (including myself) have experienced, I'm not convinced that Natalie is having this particular problem. She doesn't mention getting the "CS2 product not installed" message.
>"the help program appear[s] as a button on my Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen . . . It's like the help center is "invisible"
Could it be that the help window is simply positioned off-screen?

PS: If a window is offscreen, press Alt+Spacebar, M (Move), and use the arrow keys to move the window into view.

Cs6 user interface too small to use

I have just bought a new laptop with a high resolution screen - 2560x1440 - and like many others, I'm finding that the user interface for my cs6 software is too small to use.
I have just found the following advice for HiDPI devices on Adobe Illustrator Help:
For displays with resolution greater than or equal to 2560*1440, Illustrator can be launched at 1.5 times or 2 times scaled-up UI, depending on the OS text size.
I'm not very computer savvy, and I don't know how to do that - can anybody help please?
Judith
