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 don't like the New ACR 12.3.0. I liked that the Interface was different to Lightrooms' Develop Module. That was my reasoning for prefering ACR over LR. Do you know if I can just go back to the previous version of ACR.

I hate it too. Who can we complain to? I have been using ACR for almost 20 years now and all updates have been minor. This update was completely unexpected and not at all convenient or intuitive. At least you can still open up previously installed versions of PhotoShop or Bridge if you don't want to use new versions. Here we were just left with this disaster. I have a lot of files to process right now and we're stuck with this.

I was lucky enough to have automatic updates turned off on my home office computer. However, my day job and the computers at my design business got the aweful 12.3 update. I have tried using it and I absolutely despise it. The new ACR version is terrible it looks bad, lost functions, and is slower to use. I so want to go back to the previous UI. Adobe, please if you care about your customers give us the ability to go back to the old version. I have always been a fan of Adobe, but the new ACR is bad. Really bad.

Sorry to tell you this, but the June 2020 Camera Raw is more complicated and less easy to use than the previous version. Why hide things in submenus, when they were more than adequately available previously?

Click on Detail and one has to search for a way to change Masking, Radius, and Detail. I found out how but those were immediately available previously. Who approved these changes?

Is there a way to go back to the old screen and keep the ACR updates?

Hello. Same issue. Where's the masking in detail?

Click on one of the arrows on the right side of any of the three adjustments listed under Details. Really dumb changes.

Don't understand the reason for the changes, as all the same functions and adjustments are available, just in a less obvious presentation. Cheers.

I completely agree........this is horrible. I'm wondering if it's possible to uninstall the update so I can reinstall it and then pick the old UI.....I can't even work with this and the font is so small it' s useless.

Even i dont mind new UI but they should have kept all buttons and tools on their original position. save as and open images also changed to top and bottom right i prefer the way it was close to each other on bottom left side.

I don’t mind the new layout and improvements but a massive fail is moving the tool bar on the right hand side as opposed to it being along the top of the window. It requires about 3 times more mouse/cursor travel, and on big screens that gets seriously annoying. Please provide an option to choose top or right for the tool bar

Another topic was merged with the current one.
We want the whole old UI reverted back.
This new UI is unusable when doing radial filter adjusment. Very backward update.
