The new interface is very similar to Lightroom. After working with the latest version, I instantly started to appreciate the cleaner look. The new Camera RAW has a whole new look to it. The first thing that you will notice when you open the new Camera RAW 12.3 for the first time is how different the interface presents itself. The option to choose the full-screen layout is located in the top right corner. This new filmstrip view can be a nice feature depending on the amount of screen size available to you when editing. There is now a filmstrip view at the bottom of the page that has the option to be viewed horizontally or vertically. In past versions with blending and stitching images, the process could be very long.

The speed upgrade is noticeable when using local adjustment tools, and when merging HDR and stitching panoramic images. Access to tools and edits is much faster. The overall engine of Camera RAW, as with most significant updates, has got a speed increase. If you don’t see anything showing the update tab, make sure to sign out and sign back in. Make sure to upgrade Adobe Photoshop to 21.2. All updates can always be found on this page. To upgrade, go to your Creative Cloud app and go the page for updates. Although there were many changes, I will only be focusing on the upgrades that concern nature photographers. In June 2020, Adobe made a significant upgrade to both Adobe Camera RAW 12.3 and Adobe Lightroom Classic.
