I’ve been using Photoshop CS2 a little bit lately for a project I am working on and I have come up with a few complaints about it already. For being so famously the defacto graphics editing standard I am really dissapointed in the quality of the user interface and the usability of the application in general. Perhaps I am a little biased since I was forced to use Adobe Framemaker not long ago (which is an atrocity of a WYSIWYG editor) and now I can see similarities between Frame Maker and other Adobe products and it scares me.
For example when I try to open a particular PSD I get this screen:
I realize I’m just an idiot user but what the hell does the button “Read composite data” have to do with having an error? Clicking ok or “Read composite data” seem to have the exact same results. Ugh. A little help button or mouse-hover tool tip would be useful here.
