P: Revert UI to older Camera Raw UI (12.2.1) after Interface Changes

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

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

This is a user to user support forum. What would you like us to do? 

Do you need assistance in rolling back to the last version? 

If you want to tell Adobe your opinions of the new version, you're in the wrong location. What you should do is go to this site and follow the instructions:

The new UI is what it is. Something that might help if you choose not to revert to a previous version is right click on one of the section headers such as Basic or Tone Curve, etc. and choose the option, Single panel mode. If you choose that option then when one of the sections is open the others will collapse.

Well done. You have made ACR completely useless. Cropping a single picture takes forever, and the whole workflow is a joke. How is it possible to release something thats not working?

[jorgec27243569]

Please just change it back, why should I have to "downgrade" to an earlyer versión, don't know what you all were thinking whit this update, you just made a lot of professional photographers very mad, I just want to know what doy you have against cropping? Haha 

You messed up just please fix it

Dear God yes. I am here trying to find how to lock the stupid crop tool to the aspect I want and not change it back after every freaking image. This is why I didn't use LR, because of the stupid crop tool. Why can't we decide to leave it like before?

[JuliePoolephoto]

Agreed. Is there truly no way to lock it like before?

Digital dog, do you have a solution? That is the reason I am coming to these boards, to look for a solution. 

[TheDigitalDog]

Yes, there are three possible solutions:

1. Roll back to the last version. Installers can be found here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html#12_x

You will need to use the CC application to roll back Bridge to the last version if you use it with ACR.

2. Learn to use the new version. 

3. Move to another product.

You want to lock this?

We are shouting as loudly as we can.  Hopefully someone with some clout at Adobe chooses to use  ACR day in day out.

[TheDigitalDog]

Try shouting in the right place. Again, this is a user to user support forum.

If you feel better now, then our time was not wasted.

I think some people enjoy complaining almost as much as they enjoy doing nothing about it.

Cannot imagine why anyone would post here, it is almost like an Adobe employee told us to: 

[Jerry Salur]

Jeffrey, why are you defending the UI when most hate it? You are a senior Adobe employee and seems like you are not listening to what your customers want! Instead you ban anyone who questions the apple cart!

[Jerry Salur]

Zero respect shown by Adobe to its users. Reap what you sow Adobe....

[Jerry Salur]

Are you Andrew Rodney, Dave?

[Jerry Salur]

Well said Billy Ben. They are both also protected species here too. Probably paid to 'defend' the almighty adobe king....

[lwdgrfx]

I completely agree, Sean.  I'm baffled that anyone would think these changes were in the right direction.  As far as adapting to the new, I'm perfectly willing to do that but not to changes I did not ask for and which make ACR seriously worse.  

[lwdgrfx]

My question to Jeffrey as well.  

[Jerry Salur]

Part of the dumbing down of western society.

[Jerry Salur]

Mine were free Dave......

[Jerry Salur]

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.............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
