I recenlty upgraded from Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5.3 with no problems. However, now after 3 weeks of use, my entire 'basic' panel in Develop has disappeared. I no longer have Wb tool, or any sliders for temp, tint, exposure, black, white, shadows, clarity, etc. If I am going to lose a panel, I don't want it to be this one!
I'm using macs running mountain lion. I've updated two computers to Lightroom 4.2. One shows the new form for the basic panel of the develop module, e.g., including the brightness slider. The other installation reverted to the Lightroom 3 panel, and I can't find a preference that affects this.
I was editing a photo in Lightroom 5 the other day, and I thought I hit something, but all of a sudden the basic panel was missing. Suggestion was to right click on one of the panels and it should have an option that says basic, in order to get the basic panel back. That is what I did, but what it does is just opens and closes the panels. I don't know how to get my basic panel back.
I went to develop a photo yesterday, and suddenly noticed the Develop "Basic" column (has Treatment: Color, B/W, then White Balance, then Presence...all the stuff between toNE CUrVE and Crop/Red eye, etc. I can't imagine what I accidently hit to make this disappear, but I have once again tried Lr Help, touched everywhere on the screen and can't seem to restore this part of develop. It happened once before when I lost the "Regions" on the tone curve. All I had to do was click the little box to the right, and it got restored. I don't see anything like this for the Basic section, tho'.
I have just downloaded LR5 & trying out the develop mode. Don't know how it happened but lost the 'basic' menu in develop mode, how can I gewt this back?
the basic column in the develop section of lightroom is not there, I tried the advice to right click (ctrl button on my computer) on one of the headings, but nothing showed up.
setting up presets for making adjustments to more than one image, I keep hearing about doing that by way of the "quick develop" panel, but I don't like that panel... its a bit too basic or something... I don't like making settings where I can't see a bit more about what I'm doing.
Is there a way to create presets when in the Develope mode? I don't see any clues on the the basic panel, but hopefully I'm missing something. Is there not a way to record the settings I've made inside the basic panel into a preset?
Preforming basic color correction in the develop module. Often I see an image is just a little Cyan or Red, how do you correct. The only controls are blue/yellow or magenta/green.
How do I turn on and off the Baisc Control Panel ( color Temp, exposure, contrasts, shadow, Higlight, white, blacks, etc)? Somehow I have managed to turn it off, so it is not in the Right hand side panel under the Histogram. Insteasd the first Panel is TONE CURVE
I'm using LR5. Somehow my BASIC panel has disappeared in the DEVELOP module. The only way I can make adjustments now in brightness, etc is using the Tone Curve. How can I get my BASIC panel back?
Can add the "keywording" panel in the Develop tab?
In my workflow, I rate or tag a photo only after I've made some PP adjustment. So, my workflow would flow better if the "keywording" tab resided in the Development tab as well. Is this possible? Can you add a panel from another tab?
I want to take advantage of a FULL SCREEN to see my images.However, the panel with all the controls takes up about 1/6 of the real estate.I know the panel can be auto hidden, but I hate that workflow.
I would love to put the panel on a separate monitor leaving just the image full screen on the other.
I just purchased Lightroom 5.2 and am trying to edit without success. In the Develop panel, I can see and use any of the edit adjustments/sliders on the right. The edits are visible in the small photo in the filmstrip area at the bottom of the page but no changes occur to the main screen image as they are applied. Behavior is the same regardless of file type (.jpg or .NEF).
The photos will accept edits in the Library panel (quick edits) and apply/display them to the main screen image.
I am using Lightroom 5. In the Develop mode, is there a way to add a metadata item to a panel. I shoot with several cameras and the way I process an image depends on the camera I used. I would like to add the "Camera Model" to the Histogram panel just under the ISO, Lens length, f stop, and shutter speed. Now I must flip back and forth between Library and Develop to get the information.
