UI Improvements. (Suggestions)

[firstdefence]

I've seen quite a few posts criticising the UI, so I thought I would create a specific post for sensible commentary and explanations; both written and visual, of how you think the UI should be improved.

<moderated>

This is your chance to give intelligent feedback regarding the UI and usability.

In Photo, I would like to be able to search color swatches by name.

Would also like to see Spare Channel highlighted when selected.

I am using V1 so, sorry if these changes are already in V2.

As far as I can recall, it may have been there all the time from the very launch of Designer in 2014.

@loukash Fantastic! You are right! I just totally missed it. Might be a good idea to move it up on the panel.

Thanks for your help! This will save me a lot of time!!!

LOL! I also noticed this thread may not have been started in the correct section. Fortunately, for me, if it had been in the right section, I would have never seen it since I never read that section. In any case, I have already saved tons of time with the information I received.
