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

I am of the opinion @1654796 that the XMP works fine still. It's just that the database option is not an option anymore.

Another thing I just realized- I worked on an image in Camera Raw, lastly using the Geometry panel, opened it into Photoshop, did some work, and closed the image. Then I opened a totally new image, but Camera Raw defaults to opening the Geometry panel for some reason, not the Basic panel as the last version did (and I would want it to, since for just about every image I would start working in the Basic panel, but I would never want to start in the Geometry panel- 99% of the images I never even open that panel). I tried selecting other panels, then opening images, and each time, the subsequent image opened to the last panel used.

However, if I use the Adjustment Brush, then the next image opened does indeed default to the Basic panel.

Previously, when new images were opened, it defaulted to the Basic adjustments. Is there a setting hidden somewhere I may have missed? I have preferences set to Solo Mode, BTW.

OK, bug nostalgia aside can anyone answer my question above?

She also had a ship named after her, the USS Hopper, a guided missile destroyer.

The cool thing is Grace Hopper became a "Rear Admiral" and had a guided missile destroyer the USS Hopper named after her.  Quite an impressive person.

Grace Hopper retired as an Admiral, having been allowed to stay in service into her later years; she was part of the Rickover Navy days...

I remember that one! Similar event at Los Alamos about the same time. The computer was still there [at Los Alamos]  the last time I visited, a museum piece four stories high with a cooling building the same size.
