It leaked! It's real! It runs! And everyone's super-excited about this leak for some reason. Oh, and it looks exactly like the Windows Beta UI - surprise! (I am actually excited for it to drop. Or enter public beta.)

The Many Sliders of Photoshop CS4

adobegripes:

mrgan:

Preferences > Memory Usage

Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast

Filters

Blur (note the rendering of the thumb arrow)

Layer Blending

Layer Style

Threshold

Color Balance

Things to keep in mind:

None of these looks like the standard OS X slider:

Don't mind the special function ones like Layer Blending, however blur takes the piss I mean you can see they even faked the runner under it probably because the UI drawing code used there doesn't support alpha transparency, f'n amature hour if you ask me.
