John Nack, principal product manager for Photoshop, has posted a call for feedback on his blog. He lays out Adobe’s difficulties in pleasing the many and varied audiences that rely on Photoshop. He notes, “Photoshop is so packed with features that the ones you need are needles in a stack of needles. The sheer volume of choices can be paralyzing, and people don’t feel they’re doing things the best way.
Most customers use only a fraction of Photoshop, yet every part of Photoshop is used by a lot of people. Therefore it’s difficult and painful to remove any features. How, then, can we make Photoshop fit your needs precisely without disadvantaging others?”
Adobe may answer this question by using its Configurator technology to create panels tailored to targeted workspaces within Photoshop. To help you envision this, Nack is distributing a downloadable PDF walk-through. Once you check it out, see Nack’s full post for details on how to give your feedback on this approach.
