P: Allow Collapse of Crop tools to make Geometry features always available.

I'm frustrated with the changed placement of the Geometry features in Adobe Camera Raw 16.02.0.1763 for Mac Ventura 13.6.3. Rather than being in the Edit controls (where they've always been), they're now located in the Crop tool functions. Of course, this placement doesn't make sense because it's not a Cropping function, but my main concern is that because the Cropping tools are always at the top of the window, the Geometry tools are not always displayed if the window is not fully maximized. (See screenshot attached.) Please either return the Geometry tools to the Edit section, where they logically make sense. If not that, at least allow for the "collapsing" of the Crop tools so that the entire Geometry panel is visible, as it was before.

    Adobe, please revert back to the main-menu location for the Geometry tools. I absolutely need to be able to use/see the "grid" while making Geometry changes. If this unwelcome change cannot be reversed, tell please us how to unistall the Feb 2024 Raw Editor upgrade and re-install the previous version with Geometry tools in the main menu where they were previously located.

      This move also means that the grid is not accessable when using geometry - which is exactly when I need it (architectural photographer). Really wish they'd move it back. I just spent 45 minutes I needed for working to explain the issue in chat, de-install the updated version of Camera Raw, and re-install the old version. No idea how I'll even know that the issue's been fixed and I can update again.

        Totally agree, the new changes were unnessary.

        I also hate that the 'Constrain crop' checkbox has been moved down the bottom of the tab, almost hidden, it took me far too long to locate where it had gone.

        I also find it strange that now when we use the Geometry tab the image is shrunk down and no longer appears at 100% viewing size.

        Almost every update just slows down the workflow, it's so tidious.
