How to switch between light and dark themes in Photoshop

Situatie

Adobe Photoshop defaults to a dark theme when you first install it, but it’s easy to quickly switch to a light theme on Windows and Mac.

Solutie

Open Photoshop on your computer.

If you’re using Windows, click the “Edit” menu, and then select Preferences > Interface. If you’re a Mac user, click “Photoshop” in the menu bar, and then choose Preferences > Interface.

Click Photoshop > Preferences > Interface on Mac.

In the Preferences window, locate the “Color Theme” option in the “Appearance” section. Click the colored square corresponding to the theme color that you’d like to use in Photoshop.

Select a "Color Theme" in Photoshop's "Preferences" window.

After you click a square, Photoshop will immediately apply your selected theme.

You can change the color that Photoshop uses to highlight selected items. You might want to do this if you use a dark or gray theme because the default highlight color isn’t clearly visible in these themes. To change the highlight color, click the “Highlight Color” drop-down menu in the Preferences > Interface window and select a color.

In the "Highlight Color" menu, choose the color you'd like to use.

When you’re done, click “OK” to save your changes and close the Preferences window.
