Accessing photos in "Develop" module

Hi,
I have important some photos into the library catalogue, but they are not showing up in the filmstrip or develop module, even when I click to select one.  I can work on it in the ibrary section, but mnot the develop section.  What do I have to do to make it appear in 'develop'?
Thanks,
Deborah

Have the original image files been moved or deleted since you imported them, or are they on an external drive?  If LR can't find them, it displays a "?" by the top right of the picture.

  • Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

    Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe.  I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5.  I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it.  I have ran into 0 problems until today.  I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not.  When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
    Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue:  the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module. 
    I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does.  But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module.  It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems.  It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
    It is not the photo itself.  I think it is something wrong with my lightroom?  I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

    Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
    There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
    The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

  • Why do I get a blue rectangle covering photo in Develop module?

    I have purchased upgrade to LR6 (or is it LR CC?).  The new software downloaded, installed, updated the catalog so it seems to function normally.  When I first opened the program, it seemed ok, but soon a large blue rectangle (with an X across it) appeared over the selected photo in the Library module.  I signed out and signed back in; I restarted my computer.  The rectangle was still there, but I saw that no module was highlighted.  When I clicked on Library, the rectangle disappeared.  So, I thought I'd fixed the problem.  BUT, the rectangle persists in the Develop module (only there).  The controls do seem to work (if I click the crop rectangle, I can see it in the upper right preview window), but I can't see through the rectangle to actually edit anything. 
    Any ideas?  (I run Windows 7, 64-bit)

    Dear Jim,
    I appreciate your continuing help on this.  What I've been told is that
    this suggestion is a bit backwards. System is set up to use whichever card
    the software calls for.  Computer has no way of knowing what LR wants or
    needs; it's the software (LR) that has to choose among the available
    cards.  I don't know how to tell LR to choose the NVIDIA--LR should be set
    up to make that choice.  So, this sounds like a software problem.  Perhaps
    you can ask how to tell LR to do this?  I'm not sure I can find this out.
    (LR5.7 didn't have this issue, so it's somewhere in the changed software;
    system is unchanged.)
    The following is generic--but I hope you'll find it of some use.
    I can't be alone in being frustrated by the need for expert advice whenever
    Adobe does a software update or upgrade.  If my system is adequate and
    up-to-date, why should it take hours and hours of my time (and yours), and
    possibly some esoteric tweak, to fix a problem?
    Though you have been working hard to be helpful, Adobe generally is
    not--unless one wants to spend hours repeating oneself on the phone and
    days waiting for a query to reach the proper level, etc.  Been there; done
    that.  It isn't fun.  Even community inquiries (like how to deal with the
    awful new Windows email interface) more often than not go unanswered.
    Adobe seems to be trying to get individual and non-professional
    photographers to increase or upgrade their involvement with Adobe software
    and related products. Perhaps many such users would be happy to turn off
    their GPUsas I am notbut it seems to me that Adobe needs to think more
    about how ordinary people, not just sophisticated computer users, can work
    with its software.  I'm pretty sure that expert users also would be happier
    with more seamless transitions.
    Thanks for hearing me out.  Trying to be helpful and not just complaining.

  • Photos in develop module are different then when in the library.

    When i'm editing photos in the develop module they look really clear and good. When i switch to the library, they have a lot of noise and look nothing like how I edited them. I am using lightroom 4 for my mac. It's annoying to have to switch between the develop module and library to see what they are going to look like.

    The differences in most cases are unoticeable however I am getting this banding effect on a BW image I am editing and it is very difficult to tell if it is there or not in the the real image.  In Library it shows up as this magenta band in tonal differences and in develop it isnt there.  I looked at the image on my laptop and it doesnt show up there in Bridge but it does show up on Lightroom in the Library module. 
    This is pretty lame considering I would be sending this file out to get printed and hoping no banding shows up.  I don't like guessing, that is why my monitor is calibrated etc. 
    If anyone has a similar issue or fix let me know.

  • Deleting multiple photos in Develop Module?

    Trying to delete multiple photos is not working for me. Even though I select several images at once and click to delete images from disk only 1 image is deleted. Is this a glitch? GPBob

    Here's how to...
    1. Go to Library mode from 5 menu options on top right corner.
    2. Press (G) on your keyboard for Grid view mode.
    3. CTRL+mouse click to select multiple images.
    4. Once you are ready to delete the photos, Press DELETE button on your keyboard or Right click on one of the selected images and choose Delete Photos option.
    Note that when you are in Develop Mode and choose multiple photos from bottom row, it only deletes the one you are seeing in the main display like you are experiencing. I'm assuming you are pressing DELETE button on your keyboard to delete. However, if you Right click one of the selected images and choose Delete Photos option, you'll be able to delete all the photos you have selected.
    Hope that helps.

  • I own LR and Develop module has been disabled---asking for me to renew membership??

    I purchased Lightroom in 2013 (not Creative Cloud subscription). I recently purchased a new computer and downloaded LR to that one. I have LR registered under my Adobe ID and its listed under "products" that I own, I'm signed into LR with my Adobe ID on my desktop. When I downloaded the program, I used my key I received when I purchased the program to get it up and running. Today I tried going into the Develop module and it says that it has been disabled and to renew my membership to get access to the Develop module again. I do not have the CC subscription...I own it. SOOO, I've been searching and trying to follow Adobe troubleshooting for a few hours and now I've decided to see if I can just get the answer here. Where can I input my key in the program on the desktop or get it to see that I OWN the program and do not need to purchase the membership? On my desktop CC icon, it says that my "trial version" has expired.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Photos in Library module and after export look different than in Development module

    Hello,
    I experience a problem.
    After I update photos in the Development module, the updates seem not to be shown in the Library module. And when I subsequently export to Flickr, Flickr is also showing the original photo, not the adapted one.
    I noticed this the first time after making Blacks a bit deeper, causing a sunflower to become a deeper yellow. I thought that my adaptations were not applied in the Library module. After I checked with cranking down the Saturation all the way back (to almost black-and-white), that adaptation WAS applied in the Library view. So it had to be something else, causing the same color difference between the Library and Development modules.
    When I switch from the Library module to the Development module, I see a slight delay in applying my changes, but they are applied. Before they are applied, I can see that the original photo is shown and that looks the same as in the Library module and on Flickr.
    The photostrip on the bottom of the Lightroom screen also shows the original photos only, unless I go to the development module and select a photo (adaptations are applied in the photostrip after I select the photo, not before).
    After I played a bit more in the Development module, I found something strange in the Camera Calibration menu of the Development module. The Adobe Profile (my default) caused an obvious color difference between the Library (less saturated) and the Development (more saturated) modules. The Camera Standard profile also showed a (very) slight difference, but I was unable to notice the differences using the other profiles.
    So I was thinking (but it's only a guess), that the profiles are not applied in the Library view and on export, but they are in the Development module?
    I use Lightroom 5.6, Camera RAW 8.6.
    Please help me, as this is very annoying. I currently cannot export my photos to Flickr or anywhere else, unless I overcompensate before exporting. And I really don't want to do that. My Lightroom photo is my perfect photo, and I want to keep it that way...
    Many thanks in advance for any help,
    Peter

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for your reply. Let me react to each possibility you mention and provide some extra information.
    - "Check your Export / File Settings / Image Format and make sure they are set to JPG not Original". Done that, it's not on Original, but on jpg. This would not explain why I see the difference in the Library and Development modules, by the way. But better to know for sure.
    - "...the most likely thing that is wrong is your color-management on your computer is not working properly". It is a PC with Windows 7. I have been using Lightroom for maybe 6 years and I never had this problem before. The last time I changed my setup is more than a year ago and this problem only started to happen a short while ago (after the update to Lightroom 5.6? I'm not sure, but that's the only thing that has changed lately). I use a Spider to create a custom profile that is correct for my setup and do a regular update on the profile.
    - "what brand and model of monitor do you have?" I have an EIZO FlexScan S2411W and use that for a long time as well. I chose this brand of monitors for its good color reproduction and I have been happy with it for years now.
    What I am not getting is why would all this show a difference between the Library and Development module? The only difference is the Lightroom software that is switching from one module to another, and that should deliver the same photo. I'm also stating in my first post that the differences are very noticeable using the Adobe Standard Camera Profile in the Development module. I have a feeling that the profile is part of the problem.

    I have used lightroom for ~2 years and have lightroom 5.5 installed on a PC. Yesterday evening I uploaded a new set of photos which I cataloged and rated as usual. After that when I switched to the develop module trouble began. First thing was when using the crop tool the picture would disappear and only reappear once I closed the tool. Then exposure and White balance changes would change the histogram but not the appearance of the photo. Finally clipping was also not appearing on the picture. I first reuploaded the photos. No effect. Then I reinstalled lightroom. No effect. Help please!

    I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

  • Library and Develop Module Photos Appear Different

    I am using Lightroom 4.4   Dell Ultrasharp monitor is calibrated.  I own and have been referring to Scott Kelby's Lightroom4 book for digital photographers.  I recently took some photos of my daughters prom.  She had on a beautiful reddish orange dress.  I notice that the dress appears very red in the develop module, however, appears a bit more orange in the library module.  The change is very noticeable between the modules.  The dress also appears similar to the library module view (a bit more orange) when viewed on the web via Flickr utilizing Chrome, Firefox, or IPad.  It also appears the same when exported to a JPEG file.
    I have done some experimenting and have determined that this color change effect appears to be very noticeable utilizing the Adobe Standard Camera Calibration Profile.  It does not happen (at least to a noticeable extent) with the others such as Camera Standard where the dress appears a bit more orange in both the library and develop module.  I do, however, like the appearance of the Adobe Standard profile better and this happens to be the default profile as well.
    I have also noticed that the dress looks more orange when Soft Proofing is enabled.  The change happens immediately when the check box is enabled.  Checking the box makes the photo appear similar to the Library module view.  Enabling Soft Proofing does make noticeable that there is Destination Gamut Warning which mainly involves the dress which is the point of interest, however, there is no warning with the Monitor Gamut Warning.  I am intending to place the photos on the web at this time via Flickr.  I will be printing several later so will be worrying about the printer gamut at that time.  But for now, I would like to get the photos on the web looking as intended.
    Having the photos look so different in the Library and Develop Modules is very frustrating.  I am hoping that there is a simple setting or fix for this problem that I am experiencing.  Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi Victoria. Thanks for your reply. Re the saturation of the yellows, an example of a photo which shows the behaviour is that of a sunflower shot in direct sunlight. So a typical bright yellow. The raw files are from a D7000, so I have several "camera" profiles to choose from in LR4, in addition to the default Adobe Standard. None of the camera profiles show a difference between Library & Develop. Also, the Adobe Standard profile only shows the described behaviour when yellows are present. I can find plenty of examples where the photos are identical between the two modules when there are no yellows in the shot. I doubt this is a monitor profiling problem, given that it affects just the Adobe Standard profile, however I will try re-profiling. My U2412M display is not wide gamut. I posted here because the issue I am seeing sounds very similar to the original poster's. We're both using Dell Ultrasharp displays, although that could be a coincidence. I'll see if I can get some screen grabs from my Mac and upload here later today. I'm on my Windows 7 laptop at the moment.
    R
    Update:
    I have a pair of screen grab JPEGs from the Mac which I'm happy to share, however the upload here in the forum is limited in size. Any suggestions how I can best share the full size JPEGs?
    Re-profiling hasn't changed anything. I'm pretty sure my profile is good. Ambient natural lighting, monitor warmed up, etc. Native white point used as always. The difference between profiled and unprofiled is very subtle. The U2412M appears to be pretty accurate at factory settings.
    If I turn soft proofing on in Develop I see the less saturated image which matches Library. Turning it off again and the differences return.
    LR4 on my Windows 7 laptop doesn't have the same problem. The screen on that is calibrated with the same Spyder3, however the laptop's screen is of a mediocre quality compared to the U2412M.
    Found another thread where the poster is having the same problems with yellows, this time in LR5.

  • Red splotches on photos in LR5 Develop Module

    I get red and blue splotches on photos in LR5 Develop Module. Seems to be mainly in bright areas of photos. Not there in Library module. I noticed this in the Beta as well but thought it would be fixed before release. In LR4.4 everything is fine.

    Turn the clipping indicators off in the Histogram in the develop module.  The are the little triangles in the upper left and right corners of the histogram.

  • Move from library module to develop module  : same photo but colors differ

    When in the Library module, i see the original photo with its original color.
    When i move to the Develop module, it automatically changed or lightened the colors of the same photo.
    Did i set this automatic mode on ? or how can i turn off this mode ?

    In library LR uses a preview, from the camera, or rendered on import. In Develop it renders from the RAW to LR's standard starting point set up by the Adobe Team. You can make it more like the Preview by applying a preset you develop to better match the look and saving it to apply to your imported images.
