I absolutely hate the updated Camera Raw editing.    Very user-unfriendly!!!  Please change it back.  I was in the middle of working on wedding pictures when the update happened.   All of a sudden my workflow slowed to a crawl.  To have to figure out where everything is.

 

PLEASE CHANGE CAMERA RAW EDITING BACK!!!

    You can download an earlier version from here:

    However, ACR will not be going back to that form. This is intended to make the transition from Lightroom to ACR and back smoother for users so what you see is what it will be in the future.

     

    I suggest you go back until you your editing and then update to the new one to get used to it. Yes, it's different, very different, but it does have its merits.

    Wow.  I've maxed out the font size for Bridge (to the largest of only four options) so that I can actually read the menus.  "Preferences" >> "Interface" >> "User Interface Scaling" has only three options: Auto, 100%, & 200%, with nothing in between.  Selecting 100% with max. font size is borderline small, and 200% with min. font size is ridiculously large - there's nothing in between!  A 150% option might work OK, but it's not an option, as should be others, such as 125% and 175%.

     

    I like everything else about my displays setup and how my other applications appear, but I cannot make this work to get even close to my other apps.

     

    This fails badly on both usability and accessibility (ADA compliance).

      I really hate this new workflow. You can't even see the stars on all your images at one glance. You have to click on the individual image to see its star rating. This thing is too much like Lightroom, which I never liked. If I'm going to be forced to use this Lightroom-like disaster, I might as well switch over to Capture One.

                I just wrote a mesage of complaint about the new interface in ACR.  How many reports does it take for Adobe to get the message?

                 

                The old saying of 'don't fix what is not broken' apparantly is not known by some at Adobe.  

                I sincerley hope the message is clearly received and that a fix is posted quickly.

                 

                Respectfully,  Mike Leonard

                  Still shaking my head! ACR is far more user freindly than Lightroom ever was. Maybe we have to scream loud enough and often enough before they get the message that WE WANT OUR OLD ACR LAYOUT BACK!

                      Couldn't agree more! Can't stand the update, If i wanted a lightroom interface I would use lightroom. The only reason I use bridge and Camera raw is because I can;t stand lightroom.
