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

someone can literally suck my big fat stinky powerful big toe if they want to tell me to be a forward thinker and use 12.3. Power users will note that their long used keyboard shortcuts, basic functionality, color coding, window maximization, and streamlined experience is all out the window with this update. reverting to 12.2 was the best thing i did this week. my only issue now is bridge isn't synced with ACR anymore. smh adobe. i pay for a working tool. and now it works worse. LIGHTroom is for LIGHT users. it's the apple photos app adobe equivalent. editing 6000 photos this week alone isn't possible in a fluffy childproof software like LR. i need TOOLS THAT WORK. that's why i pay for this shit. thank you.

I will say, reverting to 12.2.1 has given me a new love for ACR after the 12.3 tragedy

How do you COLOR LABEL??? 
First, go into Adobe Bridge, Preferences> Labels. Uncheck the option named "Require the command key (ctrl-key) to apply labels and ratings. Then you can add ratings and labels with number keys 1–9 in both ACR and Bridge. Click on a thumbnail and you can how assign colors using number keys. 

ALSO- why TF is there no INTENSITY SLIDER for presets?? the "profile" thing doesn't let me use the slider for most of my user-imported presets. 
If the sliders move, it's a preset. If the sliders don't move, it's a profile. And they are separated in the browser, partially for this reason.

There are  two types of profiles now: DCPs and the newer XMP-based ones. In terms of the newer XMP based profiles, they specify a base DCP. For the vast majority of them, including those made by third parties, that base DCP will be Adobe Standard. So the first consideration is that XMP Profiles are built on top of DCPs and extend the DCP profile. On top of the base DCP, there is an optional Look Up Table/LUT. XMP-based profile can also specify many but not all of the options from the GUI we use. There are some reasons why these profiles do not move corresponding sliders. For example, a preset for vignetting adds just a vignette and do nothing else, the other adjustments are not altered.

How do you COLOR LABEL??? I've tried using command, control with a number or just a number by itself. This is how I organized what files to export and what to discard and so I know where I am.. I scroll down to the end of the greens.. and continue working on the unlabelled.

I dont' use LR because it's bulky and does all kinds of annoying things I don't want. As many others commented, why make ACR into LR? We chose ACR because we don't want LR! I don't want to learn a new software and Adobe is supposedly industry standard. But 12.3 is pushing my patience like never before. I'm a wedding, event and product photographer and I need a tool that can handle thousands of images a week reliably and efficiently. After the thousands of dollars I've paid to Adobe this is what we get..?? PLEASE ADOBE.

I had to reload an older version of Camera Raw because the 12.3 is pretty much unusable in production. Way too much scrolling, hidden features, etc... 

It was bad enough when the last version hid sync and select icons, now that's totally gone. WTF? 

If you want to "move forward", and dumb things down (like Elements), at least offer Expert where you can control the UI.

If you were scrolling too much, change it to single panel in the preferences, so that only one panel is open at a time. Yes the hidden features can be a pain at times, but after using the new version for some time, I found it very difficult to go back to the old version.

It appears that our Andrew loves to use quotations to justify his rather nasty demeanor against fellow forum members.
It's a pity there is no block or ignore feature so we don't have to read comments that provide zero value to any such topic.
