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

    Thank you so much! ACR is again usable. Alas, if Adobe desided new awful UI stays forever, we're stuck with no updated for a long time.

    You should not have to run the uninstaller.

    Hi, Branislav - I believe I've now read the entire thread but plan to read it once more just to be sure.  I understand that I have to run the 12.2 installer but what I'm not clear about is if I need or don't need to do anything else - like uninstall Bridge, for instance.  Will the 12.2 installer install over the 12.3 current installation?  
       All I really want is one button to click to make 12.3 disappear forever.  I can't imagine what Adobe was thinking.

    Installed the new version of ACR and absolutely HATE IT. If I wanted to use lightroom, I would, but I dont because I hate it. Please change ACR back to the way it was. The “new" not improved version is messing with my work flow, its taking longer to do/find anything and is not intuitive or user friendly. I understand that software updates need to happen, but please stop messing with the basic layout and function of the software. We spend enough time editing and once we get a system/process going you can’t just go and move/change it to look completely different. You just doubled my editing time. Please just change it back.

    Just read the whole thread and you'll see that you are not alone and how to revert back.

    Hi, Adobe!
    Since you introduced the latest Camera Raw change, I've noticed that I really do anything to avoid using it. Usability is awful, this new layout is absolutely user unfriendly. I've been such a big fan of Camera Raw since day one. But now I hate it 100%.
    I just want to say that I wish you could roll back to the older, better layout. It was ultimately perfect. Now it's like "shut me off and never open again". Really unhappy with the mess that you turned it into. Sorry for such a loud opinion. Can you ask around other users? I've got a feeling that I'm not the only one.

    No, there isn't. Revert to older version or move forward.

    Cannot stand the new camera raw layout!  Ugh why must they always change things SO annoying.  Is there a way to revert to the old look without changing the version?  Adobe you suck if you don't give us these options....hope they didn't assume everyone would love their new look because they don't....personally I can't stand it!
