In previous versions of Photoshop it was possible to recognize adjustment layers by their thumbnails, in CS4 that has been removed except for gradients, patterns and solid color.
I find that a wrong move. Thumbnails are handy, they allow you to quickly see where you’ve used your different adj. layers (useful if you’ve a big fan of non-destructive editign like me). The only thing that is left is the names, but
a) names don’t view as fast as icons
b) it basically limits you of using names, because once you do, you have no clue what the layer is unless you click on it
Why oh why remove the different icons and turn it one and the same??
Don’t tell me that there is no setting that can fix this….sigh
