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

Revert back: After much trial and error this worked on my Windows 10 machine... With Adobe products closed, revert to previous Camera Raw version (12.2.1) here. Also revert to prior version of Bridge (10.0.4.157) by starting the Adobe Creative Cloud installer, clicking the Adobe Bridge menu (...) selecting "other versions," and installing version 10.0.4.157. Wait to ensure both installs are complete and all is well, the nightmare is over! (Restart the computer and open Bridge to ensure RAW file thumbnails appear.)

Correct John there is no option to revert back to the old UI, only assumptions that is the case. The screen capture you showed simply shows how to alter the position of filmstrip.

The old UI is gone, revert to an older version or learn to use the new one.

So, after countless hours of fumbling with 12.3, and attempting to revert with the illusion of success, only to find lost thumbnails after reboot, I've finally gotten my workflow back by dropping ACR back to 12.2.1 and also reverting Bridge back one iteration to 10.0.4.157 ... After system reboot all is well! Please Adobe: listen to your power users, acknowledge the monumental fail of 12.3, and fix it!! I will be monitoring these forums for an acceptable fix before ever allowing another version upgrade to Bridge or ACR. After well over a decade of use it would sadden me to have to abandon Adobe but I'll not be forced into such a backwards move.

The way I used to work in RAW is totally gone with the new 12.3 version. Please please please use the former UI for this new version. Then I can find everything quick again for my workflow. Now I have to search, click, click, click etc. I temporarry are back in 12.2.1 that works fine!!

The worst layout ever! Why don't Adobe staff consult users??
Please revert the layout back to how it was or give users the option to toggle between the two!
It's a disgrace and makes the workflow harder!!
Stupidity at it's best!

Pointless reverting back when the camera I have needs the NEWEST version to open the ARW files!!!
