The many sliders of Photoshop CS4

mrgan:


Preferences > Memory Usage


Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast


Filters


Blur (note the rendering of the thumb arrow)


Layer Blending


Layer Style


Threshold


Color Balance

Things to keep in mind:

  1. These can be found in just Photoshop; I can’t imagine what I’d find elsewhere in the suite. Actually, fine, here’s the first one I found in Illustrator CS5:
  2. The most common out of all these seems to be second one, Brightness Adjustment.
  3. They’re all ugly. The only near-acceptable one is the Layer Style slider.
  4. None of these looks like the standard OS X slider:

In fact, there’s nothing acceptable about the Layer Style slider either. The entire purpose of the pointing part of the slider is to point to something. With Apple’s slider, it’s pointing at the interval lines below, with Photoshop’s Layer Style slider, it’s pointing to the cosmos trying to sort out the reason it exists.

Man, I pay a lot of money for Adobe software that inevitably frustrates. This lack of attention to detail on a version 11 product makes it hurt that much more.
