Lightroom 6.3 update brings back the original import dialog!

With Lightroom 6.2, Adobe introduced an (in their words) simpler and improved import dialog. This “dumbed down” dialog was immensely disliked by the majority of users. That and the numerous critical bugs that plagued the release got Adobe to apologize for it publicly. With the new 6.3 update, Adobe fixed the bugs and restored the original import experience. Support for additional cameras and lenses has been added as well.

The Lightroom 6.3 update is available for both the stand-alone users and Creative Cloud subscribers.
