I haven’t read all your ideas for changes in Photoshop yet because as soon as I read # 2: FIle > Automate > Watermark my heart started pounding with exciting… I thought I had just found the answer to my problem: watermarking countless images at one time, in an easy fashion. Unfortunately, I soon discovered, as I read the blog more closely, these 10 ideas were just that, ideas not realities (yet). Wow, what a bummer.

I have an absolute TON of images I want & need to watermark, but I have not been able to figure out how to create an action and do whatever all needs to be done before going to “Automate” and “batch”. Sorry to say I’m one of those who has a hard time with understanding directions.

IS there anywhere I can find a good quick tutorial or something on how to do this? I like REALLY REALLY need to figure this out so I can watermark my boat load of images.
(I have CS2).

I sure hope Adobe implements your ideas cuz I need #2 to happen. : )

Thanks Matt!

Glad I visited this blog today. I’m a Lightroom Killer Tips addict!!

Luv you Matt!

For the same reason, I disagree with all of Scott’s suggestions for making the interface more like Lightroom’s in various other ways. The print is too small and hard to see in Lightroom’s squashed-up way of pushing the important interactions over into that tiny area. I’m for pull-down menus and separate white large dialog boxes with large print in every case!

I’d guess that there are plenty of people who think the Lightroom-style of interface cool now who won’t think so as they age and (perhaps) find their vision getting worse. In my opinion Adobe would be making a marketing mistake if they altered Photoshop in such a way that established users had important and very basic reasons not to upgrade as they grew older. As it stands now, they can pick up new users for Photoshop as Baby Boomers retire and get seriously into digital photography. That is, many Boomers will become new Adobe customers as long as they can see Adobe’s interface well enough to find it pleasant to use.

The #1 “Improvement” for me would be for Adobe to offer size adjustments in more areas than just the display size of font choices. If in the general preferences they offered a way to make all the text in dialogs and everywhere else bigger, that would be great, as would making the tool icons bigger. For a number of reasons, including the lack of access to the top of the screen, Apple’s visual aid thing through the system doesn’t work well enough to use it for this purpose.

The blend mode palette with thumbnails is an awesome idea. That’s my favorite.
