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

Darwinism will change the audience of users: failure to adapt to changing realities sent many species to extinction.

An observation: some 375 million years ago in the Devonian, there was a critter which is believed to be the first with digits patterned like those of all tetrapods today including us. Elpistostege watsoni who also breathed air through a hole on top of his noggin and could clamber out of the water to forage. That would seem to me to be the originator of a procedure used in traffic in Los Angeles which requires an extended middle finger.

Nothing fishy about that, now is there!

Adobe US is currently on shutdown, he's not supposed to be checking in here at all.

Really despise the new ACR. Do not change stuff that is working fine for years Adobe !

If any programmer that makes changes to software, making it more of a struggle to work with, with more unnecessary clicks, thinking he/she provides users with an upgrade, please get them back to school!  Adobe, we did not ask for this 'improvement'. Because it is not, it is a setback. This has nothing to do with 'getting used to it'. It is just really crap UI.

Please get the older UI back, so much better as it makes my workflow more efficient. That is all that counts. Listen to your customers and do not come up with changes without -at least- test it with professional customers (!) A dissatified customer.

Andrew Rodney must be an Adobe employee. I have never seen anyone defend the company so much.....

WHy does Jeff Tranberry ignore the questions from users who are totally fed up and stressed from using the new ACR 12.3?

It's not too much of a high expectation.

When was the last time an Adobe employee told you, outside an NDA, what Adobe would be proving in a future release of ANY Adobe product. 
You can ask of course. Don't be too upset if you don't get an answer.

 @Jeffrey Tranberry, Sr. Product Manager, Digital Imaging 

Please confirm that Adobe will be (atleast) giving the option to Revert to the old User Interface with in the next update for Adobe Camera RAW. Can you please also provide a ballpark date we can expect to be able to upgrade. 

Thank you in advance.
