You can now choose to have the filmstrip in the left panel (recommended for portraits) or the bottom panel (recommended for landscapes). To change the filmstrip orientation, do the following steps:
1. Control-click (macOS)/right-click (Windows) the current filmstrip to access the context menu.
2. Select Filmstrip Orientation.

Keyboard shortcuts
The default keyboard shortcuts starting from Adobe Camera Raw version 12.3 are updated. For details, see Default keyboard shortcuts.
Apply ISO-adaptive presets
Easily create a custom preset that adapts to different ISO values. You can then set this preset as the default setting for raw photos in Preferences > Raw Defaults. For details, see Set raw defaults specific to ISO values.
Adjust hue locally
Access the Hue slider in the Adjustment Brush, Graduated Filter, and Radial Filter panels. This slider allows you to change colors in specific areas of the photo without affecting the rest of the photo. Ensure to select Fine Adjustment if you're adjusting skin tone for extremely precise hue adjustments.
Read this blog to know more about Hue.
Center crop overlay
While cropping a photo, it is common to align a part of the photo exactly in the center of the frame. This was difficult to precisely do with a 3x3 grid overlay. You now have an option to use a 2x2 grid overlay while cropping a photo. This centered crop overlay guides you to precisely crop the centre of the photo.
