Basic Panel gone - why?
In LR 4.1 Develop Module the Basic Panel suddenly disappeared. Why? How do I get it back?
Right click on one of the other panel titles (like the Tone Curve panel title) and make sure there is a check mark next to Basic

Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.
Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if
this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
would be valuable. Thanks for the reply. -
Why can't I toggle between current settings and defaults on the ACR basic panel?
When I try to toggle between current settings and defaults, I get a blue or black screen in the "After" image so I can not compare before and after. The toggle doesn't work when I am viewing a single image or when I am viewing before and after side-by-side. The blue or black image looks like the image is totally clipped, but it's the same whether clipping is on or off. Command-Option-P does not work either. Also, the histogram totally disappears when I try to toggle. So I think something is corrupted, and I'd like to know how to fix it. BTW, this toggle works fine when I am in the adjustment brush panel; it's the basic panel where it doesn't work. I use Photoshop CC (2014) and Bridge CC on a new iMac--Yosemite. All are up to date (ACR 8.7.1.311). I am not using Lightroom. I would appreciate a suggested fix. Confession: I am very new to the Mac environment and just returning to Photoshop after an absence so I'm finding my way; there's a good chance I'm making a rookie mistake. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions on where else I might post my question.
The only fix at the moment is to hold the option key when clicking the green button.
Send Apple your feedback and this might get fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html -
In Develop Module, the Basic Panel (white balance, color saturation and tonal scale) disappeared. How can I restore these tools?
When you say the Basic panel has disappeared, do you mean the whole right side panel or individual tools such as the White Balance tool is gone? If it is the whole right side panel that is missing, you may have hidden it. Using the Tab key, you can cycle between hiding and showing the side panels. You can also move your mouse over to the far right side of your screen to get the panel restored but it will disappear when you move your mouse off the panel. There is also a small triangle on the left edge of the right panel that you can right click on in order to determine the show/hide behavior (I personally use the manual mode).
Regarding the individual windows contained in the left/right panels, they can be opened and closed by clicking of the triangle that is displayed next to name of the tool in its header bar. While you can elect what modules will be shown on the LR Top panel, I am not aware of any mechanism to completely hide individual tools in the left/right panels. If all else failes, you can hit the Shift/Tab key combo a few times to restore all of your windows the the default behavior. -
Where has the preview panel gone is Bridge CS5?
Today when I opened up Bridge, the preview panel on the right hand side has disappeared. It shows as being selected when I go to the Window Menu but it isn't there. The scroll bar is also missing so I can't view all of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any ideas about why this has happened and how I can return it to it's normal format? Thanks, Michelle.
Fantastic. Thank you, much appreciated

No, but you can choose Reset Workspace from the workspace menu to get it back to normal.

Can someone explain to me why, when working on a .DNG file in LR4 (4.3, to be exact), your get a different set of sliders in the Basic panel than when you have, say, a .NEF file open? This is most puzzling, as I am working from Scott Kelby's book, which shows the Highlights, Vibrance, etc. sliders available with a sample .DNG file open, but when I open the same file, in that panel I get Exposure, Fill light, etc. instead. If I then open a .NEF file, I get different sliders. Is this supposed to be this way? Confused...
Rob is correct, it's a question of Process Versions...but you need to understand that LR does NOT change the PV willie-nillie. If you had previous settings applied by a prior PV, LR will respect those setting. To get the most recent PV, OYU need to decide to do that. You can click on the PV warning in Develop or apply the PV update enmass by using a Preset...note, PV 2012 is almost always better then previous PVs, but not always (if you relied on some of the previous PV's artifacts which could sometimes work well). So I suggest doing the update image by image to confirm the PV 2012 is, in fact an improvement...

Basic Panel further improvements
I've played around with the new Development Basic Panel. Not easy at the beginning but quite consistent. I like the way the histogram is divided in sections and that these sections are logically organised in tools. I wonder if it's possible to go one step further :
by having a TAT for these tools : we have it for the tone curve, why not for the Basic: for exposure, highlights, shadows, black and white? It could be time saving and maybe more intuitive to interact directly onto the picture;
by having a clipping overlay for all the sections, not only for the black and the white at the beginning and the end of the histogram; this way we could see wich part of the picture will be affected by each tool.
Sounds good (and possible) or what?HEAD Productions wrote:
I don't care for them to be arranged in the "workflow order" as Victoria Bampton has suggested. Each photo requires a different approach and an order that relates to the histogram would be of more help.
Well, you may as well adapt and adopt the current order because, believe me, they won't be changed from the order they are in with the current beta. The reason the order is what it is is because the engineers wanted the order to indicate the suggested order in which the controls are designed to be used. Even in early testing, the testers tried to fight the current order up to the point where over time, it was obvious that the current order was optimal for most images in PV 2012.
What you really need to do is forget how you adjusted images in the previous process versions and adapt your edits to the new PV 2012. While some of the controls may share a slight similarity with the previous controls, they are different enough that trying to use old logic for the new controls will only frustrate you.
Think of them as Exposure and Contrast being the main tools, Highlights and Shadows as fine tuning the previous adjustments by recovering highlights and opening up shadows and Whites and Blacks as the final tune to adjust the end points, if needed (often they aren't). -
How do I get the basic panel in the develop module to reappear in Lightroom 5?
Hello! 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. I went online to see how I can fix it, and what was suggested 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 hope I can get some advice.
Thank You!The trick is to right-click on one of the other panel headers, e.g. Tone Curve, and you'll see a context menu allowing you ro reselect the Basic Panel.
Alternatively, when in the Develop Module simply do Ctrl+1 (Cmd+1 on a Mac), or in the menu bar go to Window>Panels>Basic Panel. -
I have lost my "Basic" panel in the Develop module and can't figure out how to get it back. My right panel goes from the Histogram straight to the Tone Curve panel. My Basic panel should be below the Histogram. Any ideas how to get it back. I have even uninstalled my lightroom and reinstalled it with same issue. Help!!!
Right click on or near one of the other headers and a pop-up will appear and you will be able to select the Basic Panel for viewing.

I am on a MAC OSX 10.9.5, and using LR 5.7. I have lost the "Develop" Basic Panel (white balance & color saturation). Every thing else seems to be in place. How do I get it back?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions in this forum. See this.

In Develop mode not all of the adjustment panels are showing. The basic panel is not evident.
Right click near to one of the other options e.g tone curve and a popup list will provid you with the option to display or hide the options. see image capture.
-
and the basic panel is the old format...does not have the new sliders that were introduced in LR 4. Using Windows 7 if that matters.
still seeing fill light and recovery instead of shadows and highlights
thanks
jpYou have to change the photo to Process Version 2012.
Under the histogram in the develop module is a Lightning Bolt icon. Click on it. -
Basic Panel Keyboard Shortcut No Longer Works
For some reason when I try to use the keyboard shortcut (command 1) to return to the basic panel it no longer works. Any ideas?
Is there a keyboard shortcut in your operating system for Cmd-1? This would most likely override the Lightroom keyboard shortcut.
Also, you can try deleting your preference file: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html -
Adobe "greyscale" available through Lightroom 5.4 or CC 'Basic Panel, B&W'?
Does "Black and White" selection In Lightroom 5.4/CC "Basic Panel" completely, fully convert an image to Adobe "Greyscale"? Do not want to create another large file by having to go into PS CC just to 'convert to 'greyscale'. Need to know if all color in files are removed when selecting B&W for publishing purposes, please.
thanks for your time and your response Geoff, but alas that is one of the criteria I've already tried without success. :-)
Here's what I just got on four random images;
This is on image 3 but the same thing applies to all of them.
Before; brightness 0, contrast 0, blacks 0,
Auto (one image) brightness 23, contrast 10, blacks 6,
Group, sync on brightness 23, contrast 10, blacks 5,
is auto still lit? YES
Apply auto again brightness 23, contrast 10, blacks 6,
Point one is that the AUTO button is still lit after being applied. ?
Point 2 is in this case only the blacks are moving, allbeit only one notch I know, but I seem to recall it being a larger number on the other files I was trying it with and it varies from image to image as I recall.
The same thing seems to happen with the other auto button in DEVELOP, HSL / Color / B&W but the differences seem more noticable there, but there's more of them...
Thanks again.
