No Glyph Palette in Photoshop CS

Why no glyph palette in Photoshop CS or CS2? I thought Adobe was all about consistifying their suite.

I know PS is not supposed to be a type-centric app, but trying to access OpenType* features without the glyph palette is a pain in the pooper. No one wants to trial-and-error all the contextual/stylistic/swash options in the Character fly menu.

* Adobe’s ballyhooed format!

Because the OT-handling was so different - some might say “unique” - in each of the CS2 app, I did screen grabs and posted them on our site:

One hopes that CS3 will see the Adobe engineers speaking to each other and sharing their toys.

I’d actually forgotten about that discussion, but found it in a round about way. I thought maybe possibly someone had written a plugin for Photoshop to give it a Glyph palette. That page was one of the first links that popped up on Google.

Please note that if you want a glyph palette in Photoshop, you should request it in the appropriate place: http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html

Use the same form to ask for more consistent UI, or whatever it is that’s bugging you.

We really do notice the number of user requests for these sorts of things.

Thomas,

Do you know if there’s any plans of introducing a “magic button” to Illustrator that will create logos for you? Many clients already seem to believe that something similar exists. ;-)
