after updating photoshop , when i opened it for the first time there was option to use camera raw as it is (vertical film) or to change it to new UI (with new look and horizontal filmstrip ), i just clicked new UI to see how it looks , i thought if i dont like it i will just go back to using older UI but there is no option to select older UI , i contacted adobe but person who was helping me just suggested that i should install older version of camera raw or ask for help from this forum , i found it bit frustrating that if there was simple option to choose new UI so why not give option to revert back to older UI with newly updated software. maybe its bug or adobe forcing people to use new UI even if they dont like it

Dear God yes. I am here trying to find how to lock the stupid crop tool to the aspect I want and not change it back after every freaking image. This is why I didn't use LR, because of the stupid crop tool. Why can't we decide to leave it like before?

Well done. You have made ACR completely useless. Cropping a single picture takes forever, and the whole workflow is a joke. How is it possible to release something thats not working?

Agreed. Is there truly no way to lock it like before?

Guys. Andrew Rodney and Dave Grainger are both Forum trolls. Please stop feeding them. 

It is fine to argue against the topic, but there two users are actively trying to wind people up in a non-constructive way.

Please DO NOT respond to them.

So those complaining about the changes are (the most) loyal customers and those who like/praise the change are not loyal customers? Absurd. Adiós.

Kevin Lynam I agree; you've expressed my feelings 100%. If the attitude of those purporting to speak representatively for Adobe accurately reflects the company's direction, their repeated smug suggestion for us professional power users to "move on" and "give it a rest" (I hear shut up, we don't care what you think and don't want to hear from you any more) it is certainly a sad state of affairs from a company I have financially supported for well over a decade. One silver lining is that 12.2 will work well for me into the for a considerable amount of time (assuming a crippling "upgrade" is not forced on me). This time will allow one of two things: either Adobe will respond to the outcry of their most loyal power users, or they will focus on marketing the new LR-like 12.3 to more novice users which will give me time to transition to Topaz Studio. So, here's to taking the "guru" advice of shutting up and moving on. I'm done.

Kudos on your NDA with Adobe, Andrew. You must be a very accomplished professional who worked hard to earn that right, and you clearly intend to defend it.

Furthermore, I get what you're saying: 
  • ACR 12.3 is out
  • Hi-profile gourmet boutique users win in this release
  • High-volume everyday workflow users lose in this release
  • There will be no UI/UX regression or accommodation for the losers
  • Deal with it

Fine. I dealt with it by rolling back and voicing my opinion, as have untold thousands of other users. But eventually, we'll lose that option and have no choice to move into the post-12.3 world of ACR.

So personally, I'm done speaking about ACR 12.3. It is what it is, and for many like me it is not a good release.

However, I do have one final comment for the record...

It is (IMO) a sad state of affairs that neither Adobe nor the experts, gurus, bloggers or other hired-guns exhibit any EMPATHY for the rightfully frustrated end users in all of this. Just "my way or the highway" - same as all the other large monopolistic software companies we depend on everyday for our livelihood.

Y'all have a good day.
