Designers: Come design Photoshop itself

Yo dawg, I heard you like using design tools to make design tools, so…”

Ever wish you could make Photoshop work exactly the way you want? Ever wish Adobe designers would walk a mile in your shoes? Ever wanted to stand up & champion the needs of the millions of creative people whose livelihoods depend on these tools?

I know I did; that’s exactly why I came to work here. And now there are two openings for designers to shape Photoshop & the next generation of imaging tools.

These are not easy gigs, but you’d be bored if they were, right? You have to want to learn (and learn, and learn) what a crazy-diverse range of customers needs, then combine your transformative vision with fortitude & exacting attention to detail. You don’t change an industry standard overnight, but keep sweating the details & you’ll be amazed at what’s possible.

  1. If I were younger and farther West, I would jump at the chance!
    Meanwhile, how about imposing a simple principle: For choices with only 2-3 options, don’t use drop-down listboxes. Use radio buttons. Saves clicks, and is more instantly understandable. This could become a JDI, I suppose…
    Meanwhile, the UI has been improving steadily since around 7.0, and this is much appreciated.
