Open letter to Adobe:
In Summary: I consistently go back to Photoshop CS6 over Photoshop 2014 due to the way 2014 handles.
I am an advanced user and use Photoshop to create art from photographs for clients. Even though I know there are advanced features in 2014, every time I start a project in 2014, I end up completing it in CS6. These are the reasons why:
1. 2014 is just not as solid a product as CS6. I know that when I start something in CS6, I will be able to complete it. I am an artist, so bear with my descriptions, but 2014 feels and acts like you are sitting on a three-legged chair versus a four-legged version with CS6.
2. 2014 is not as stable. I rarely have CS6 crash, but 2014 has frozen several times and I have lost work, even with the auto-save on.
3. 2014's tools can switch from a normal tip to other types on a whim.
4. When cropping with 2014, I've had sides of the picture change. Hard to describe, but artistically, it's there. When I take the project into CS6 and crop it, there are no changes to the sides during cropping.
5. I have had times when I can't change to a specific font in 2014 and then come back to 2014 later and it will change.
Should I report these as bugs? How? Some are very difficult to describe and almost impossible to document in a way that your programming team could trace.
For the time being, I will continue to switch back and forth between 2014 and CS6 as I need; so, if you would please, continue to update CS6.
Thank you for listening.
