Ironic that you removed the actual "Crop handles" tool in the Crop Panel.  Please bring it back.

Shift + T will open it. (That's how I get to it now.)

Help. I am incredibly confused. I see all of these messages, but I still cannot find the geometry panel anywhere. I am using Windows version 25.11.0. My Geometry panel has vanished from the Camera Raw window. My crop tool is on the left (not on the right), and when I click it, I get a small set of options on the top of the screen, none of which includes the geometry panel, or specifically, auto-geometry. 

 

Where can I find this? Shift-T does nothing for me either. 😞

I misspoke, I know the panel is no more. I meant, how can I find the Geometry tools? I don't seem to have a "crop panel," only the options on the top of the screen, that don't show anything like the geometry options I used to have in the Camera Raw Filter panel.

The Geometry section was moved to the crop section after the last update. Do I have to look on Reddit to find it? I searched for a solution for hours. I wish you would inform people about this change.

Moved to the Camera Raw forum, from the Photoshop forum.

Was updated to 16.2.1 (why does this app force update even when all my other auto-updates are off?) - now I am missing the "Transform" panel.

 

When I go to edit the Panels to be shown, there is one that is showing as blank. Even if I check the box, the Transform panel does not re-appear.

Can your team please provide a link to downgrade back to a working form of this app? The option has been removed from Creative Cloud.

Read the thread. This has been answered by Adobe staff.

Guess my post got moved to this thread; had tried searching but couldn't find anything.

 

The blank panel in "Edit Panels to Show" still persists, as well as a change to the shortcuts of how to access panels. 

 

"Cmd + 1" used to get me to the first panel, but it is now no longer functioning. "Cmd + 2" is the first shortcut that opens a panel, taking away one the functionality of being able to reach as many panels.

 

Would still like to know how to downgrade the app if possible.

Geometrie ist verschwunden seit Camera Raw update vorhin. Ein Tool das ich ununterbrochen nutze ... Wer denkt sich solche Verbesserungen aus?  Oder hat nur ein Entwickler wieder mal was versteckt?


Alternativ: wie komme ich auf die vorige Version zurück?

OK, hat sich erledigt. So ein Workflow-optimierer war der Meinung das ne Extra Rubrik für ein Tool und 3 mal klicken statt einmal sicher besser wäre ... ich hasse es wenn dinge verkompliziert werden.

Does anybody know what happened with a Geometry tool in the Camera Raw editor? For me, It was one of the most useful tools for straightening lines in the photos but with a new Update of the Adobe Bridge, this tool disappeared. I got the lens blur tool which is crap. Why do we need this tool? For professional photographers, this tool is unuseful because we have lenses for such things. I understand, that we can use a tilt-shift lens for such things but why pay several thousands of euros if we already have it in the older versions of Adobe Bridge? I hope this is only a bug or some technical issue to resolve. If Adobe decided to remove it from the new versions of Adobe Bridge I can say it is a shameful and stupid decision.

I also want to know why we can`t browse for the older versions of Camera Raw like we can at the other apps?! Both of the screenshots are attached. 

What an idiotic thing is this?!! Please don`t say it was a demand from the Lithroom developers to remove it.

This is such a horrible idea. Everyone uses Camera Raw a bit differently, I use the Geometry Panel all the time. So why do I now need a separate key command to bing it up? We should be able to customize which panels we want to see under the edit tab so that evertyone can have their own efficient workflow.

Terrible decision, Geometry Panel in Crop wasn't a good idea, 

First: the grid disapeear on crop mode, can't control the verticals, 

 

Can I downgrade to 16.1.1?

Don't know about the downgrade, I think it should be doabel.

In crop you can get the grid shown using v on the keyboard. If it doesn't show the grid straight away (e.g. shows the third grid instead) you can right click and choose the overlay of the grid. Then v will show the grid. To alter the settings of the grid, though, you have to leave crop first, then adjust the settings of the grid and go back to crop. It is a pain in the neck and the workflow previously was much more straightforward. One can only hope that functionality will be restored (and if it is then I don't care too much whether it remains in crop or not - though I would prefer if it went back to a separate geometry panel).

I absolutely agree with Geometry panel separate,
