Photoshop CS4 Stop with the damn tabs already grrr
This new tabs business in CS4 is driving me insane, horrible interface disicion.
Tabs suck unless you’r some old lady working on pictures of your cat. If you frequently need to have multiple images open, references, matte creation, compositing etc.. you open new images all the time and drag contents from one into other windows.
With the old floating windows all you do is control+drag a layer and there you go, takes a second. With tabs you have to control+drag, move your mouse to the tab you want, which is frequently some stock photo named 2509523509fu.jpg so when you have a ton opened you have to search for it. Then you have to hover the mouse over the tab for 5 seconds to switch and then you can drop the layer. Huuuuge waste of time when you do this hundreds of times a day. Does adobe even know thier own target group? Tabs are not needed for the power users that are the main target for Photoshop. Alll this bloat to “help” is not needed, you don’t pay out your ass for CS4 if you’r just some clueless user editing a few photos.
I know you can go to preferences and uncheck open new documents as tabs but that doesn’t get rid of tabs. You now have to drag new images on the toolbar to have them not open as tabs, wtf?
If you have an image open and go to open new image then the new image will be opened as a tab inside the floating window that had the focus, NO STOP IT! arghhh.
When I go uncheck “open documents as tabs” that because I don’t want tabs ever, anywhere.
