Is there some way to darken Photoshop (without having to go into that fullscreen image mode)?
My biggest annoyance with Photoshop has always been the inability to darken it, so that I can work with dark images.
I can change Window's colors, but I dont like doing that (using XP) and that doesn't affect the bright-gray image window background color or blaring white image guides (which I need active 90% of the time).
- And is it just me, or wouldn't one consider it very unprofessional for such an app to not support dark colors by default, or the option to quickly toggle them? It has always perplexed me... and hindered me from seeing dark grays in the image, always to notice them when it's too late, outside of Photoshop. Working with game textures and website images that frequently have Alpha channels or fade to black at the edges makes it crucial that I be able to see the edges, which I can't do with the bright interface, and therefor very frequently find lines at the edges of my images that shouldn't be there, that I couldnt see inside PS.
- So is there some app or plugin that can change the colors for me, or does CS2 have the option anywhere? I use Photoshop Interface Assistant, but only auto-hides the toolbars, and doesnt change the colors, unfortunately. :shrug:
