Trevor.Dennis Apr 6, 2012 12:12 PM (in response to mariesor)Alt/Opt 2 will brighten the interface. Alt/Opt 1 will darken it again. I think the idea is to bring Photoshop's interface into line with Lightroom, and while mid grey has a nuetral affect on the images you are working on, a dark backgriund does tend to show them to better effect.

CameraAnn Apr 6, 2012 12:30 PM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)The darker interfaces are probably fine if you are producing images predominantly for Screen or Web Browser viewing but they are very misleading if your output is destined for Print and you will probably find that the printed output is much darker than you expected it to be.
I also find small text on darker interfaces very tiring and hard to read.
It will be fine just as long as the Creative Suites continue to give their Users a choice of Interface which the LightRoom team seem unable or unwilling to do.
Because of the design of LR's UI, I continue to avoid purchasing LR!

Pattie F Apr 6, 2012 1:12 PM (in response to mariesor)If you are not in favor of the new darker UI, you can change it to one of four schemes from dark to light that is available to you.
One of the lighter ones is very similar to the CS5 setting.
UI Color Theme can be changed in Preferences/Appearance
Please see the FAQ below for more details:
FAQ: How can I change the user interface color theme and size of the text?
I hope that helps!

CameraAnn Apr 6, 2012 1:46 PM (in response to Pattie F)Indeed Pattie.
And I am so grateful that CS6 gives each of us the option to set the UI in the way that best suits our individual needs.
