Eye Strain

[srij]

I just got your free trial, and would love to be able to use this software but it's impossible for to use because of the very small gray letters on black.  I suppose there is no way to change this.  I've researched and found quite a few people who have bought the software and can't use it because of this eye strain problem.  I tried to change things in the user interface, but it didn't change anything that i can see.  It's unfortunate, I have been searching and searching for a PS replacement.  now I have to keep looking. if there is away to fix  this I'd love to hear about it.

Hi Srij,

 

A lighter UI is something that has been heavily requested in the past. I recommend adding your voice to the below thread :)

I too have a lot of difficulty working with this interface. I often can't tell which icon is selected. The almost black on black is extremely difficult to distinguish. Instead of making the selection black, it would be better at 50% gray or some lighter value. Or make the background lighter so the black surround of the icon is more contrasted.

 

I tried changing the gamma of the user interface all the way to the right, but it is not enough.

 

Also, the text is difficult to read. Likewise, Apple's new designs are terrible. The little darker gray on gray is a poor choice. We should not have to strain to read or recognize text or which icon is selected. It's like trying to read a book with white type on almost white paper. I can't understand these unclear user interface choices. When Jony Ive took over interface design, it was bad news. These barely distinguishable interfaces are horrible.
