I too would like to use the old interface. Upon opening the "new and imporved" ACR for the first time, it allows you to select between the old and the new with a notation that you can change your selection later in the preferences. So, I chose the new one to see if I liked it. I don't. Can't find much of anything, there isn't even a select All unless you control click. I've looked and looked in the preferences. I can't find the option anywhere. 😞

Ctrl/cmd-a selects all.

As far as the into option that you mentioned. I saw that, and it looks like that was just to choose a layout: thumbnails on the side or bottom, and the right panels only opening one at a time, or remaining open until closed. No option for the old UI.

Yes, that's the way I understand it as well. That initial screen allows you to choose the position of the thumbnails, but it doesn't say anything about going back to the old interface. Regardless of which position you choose for the thumbnails, that position can be changed after you make the initial choice. But the interface is what it is.

Frankly, I quite like the new interface. But I like Lightroom Classic and use it more than I use Camera Raw. So I understand this new Camera Raw interface and have adapted to it rather quickly. I suppose if enough dedicated Camera Raw users object to the new interface and complain enough it will be like when Adobe changed the import dialog in Lightroom a while back. There was such an outcry that Adobe changed it back. It will be up to those of you who are upset enough with the new interface to "lobby" Adobe sufficiently to get the interface changed. Not that it means anything, because I'm really a nonissue, but you won't get the vote from me.

Do you mean to the old version or the default with the thumbnails on the bottom? You can't change to the old interface of older versions of ACR.
