I don’t really notice any difference. The color picker works as it always has - for me, at least. Am I missing something?

I think new versions ought to come out every 2 years not every year, not every year. I assume this is because it is a subscription service, it’s a marketing decision to release new versions annually. And because there is the pressure to release a new version each year, Adobe has to come up with new features. For example, do we really need 10 ways to zoom in to a document? 3 or 4 is plenty. They seem to have built a great deal of redundancy into the programs. The Properties panel is something I’m getting used to, and I can see the logic but it, too, is redundant. 

Ways to zoom in:

• Zoom tool in the Tools panel
• View menu - zoom in, zoom out, fit on screen, 100%, 200%, Print Size
• Short cut - Command+ to zoom in, Command- to zoom out
• Spacebar+Command to zoom in, Spacebar+Command+Option to zoom out
• Use the status bar (the little bar at the lower left of the document window - type in the % of magnification desired
• Scrubby zoom - hold down the left mouse button and drag to the right to zoom in, left to zoom out
• With the Zoom tool selected, you can also choose from the Control panel - 100%, Fit Screen, Fill Screen
• You can also zoom using the Navigator panel

I will say, I like the Puppet Warp feature - both in Photoshop and Illustrator.

If you could be more specific about your difficulties, perhaps I can help. Otherwise, call me if you want and we can talk more.
