Redesign of Photoshops interface

June 25, 2008

Matt Kloskowski is the guest blogger over at Scott Kelby’s Photoshop Insider today. He has a post about what he would change with some of the photoshop dialogs and pallettes.Most of his ideas are great and really need to be adopted.

Check out the post here.

I really like the idea for a Camera Raw Palette.

This one is simple in nature but very likely extremely difficult in implementation. Doesn’t mean I can’t dream though. See, if I work on a raw photo, I’d like to not go back out to another dialog to adjust something in the raw settings. I’d love to have a little palette or dialog right there in Photoshop that I can adjust and have my image update. I realize this is totally crazy and defies the laws of everything raw but you never know what those Adobe engineers can pull off. They’re some of the best in the world and if anyone can do it I bet they can. Think about this… 5 years ago, did you ever think you’d be able to do non-destructive retouching and selective edits on a raw file? Probably not, but if you take a look at Lightroom 2 beta you’ll see it’s happening today.
