  • I honestly wish they would just roll Photos back to what it was a few years ago - it was perfect, but they had to mess with it.

    • What do you dislike about the current design? I don't use it all that often, but it seems fine for the most part.

      • I feel they've overcomplicated it with all the themed stuff on the top row. And also, in fact moreso, I hate what they did with Creations - so often I get a notification that Photos has made a collage or an animation or whatever, but if I don't follow the notification right away, I find it really hard to find them in the app later. Used to be much simpler.

        Also (and they may have changed this admittedly, I haven't checked) at the time of those changes, they borked the video editor by making all outputs in portrait mode, even if shot in landscape. So you ended up with huge black spaces at the top and bottom instead of a frame filling 16:9 output.
