Bug? In LR5 Mac, Develop module, option+slider undocks right panel!

Holding down option key (LR5 Mac) with slider causes entire right panel to undock
In the Develop module, I used to be able to hold down the option key while adjusting a slider, giving some extra features in the panel section. (To see the extent of masking in the Detail panel group, in white/black, for example)
Now, the entire panel undocks and I can't slide the slider, instead the panel moves around in th LR5 workspace. While I am unintentionally moving the panel, there is a blue border that appears around the panel. See the screenshot. Has anyone had this issue, and if so, were you able to fix it?

In develop module, Details panel group (sharpening), I hold down option key and attempt to move any of the sliders. Instead of the view changing as described in this page: http://laurashoe.com/2012/11/26/develop-module-secret-lightroom-powers-revealed-the-altopt ion-key/, the whole panel becomes undocked and moves in the LR workspace.
While its moving, there is a blue border around the panel window (as I show in my screenshot).
The slider does not move, the whole panel becomes undocked. In the screenshot, I was attempting to slide the Sharpening/Detail slider.
I am working with OS Mavericks, LR 5.3

Develop module options just disappeared

I'm new to Lightroom - just downloaded v.4 a few days ago and love it. Just now I installed OnOne presets (free pack recommended by Lightroom website). When I opened Lightroom after installing, my Develop module options had changed - few options, no "shadow" option (now it's called "recovery"), etc. I uninstalled OnOne but problem is the same as before. Any ideas? Thanks!

Your images are in Process Version 2010. Change them to 2012 for the new tools.

LR5 upgraded catalog is only giving LR4 Develop module options - help!

After a successful upgrade to LR5 from LR4 on an old catalog I'm encountering an unusual situation:
when I use the Develop module the palette options are not LR5.
Instead of Shadows, for example, my LR5 catalog is showing Recover and Fill Light from LR4.
I'm working on a MacPro tower and the catalog in question is on an external hard drive.
I've checked the upgrade status and it is definitely a LR5 upgraded catalog.
I've upgraded many catalogs over the years from LR1 to now and this is the first time I've
seen this issue.
Any suggestions appreciated.

You are working with images that were processed with an older version of Lightroom and process 2010. Lightroom honors those previous adjustments and retains the 2010 process. To change to the new 2012 process go to the calibration tab in the develop module and make the appropriate choice.

LR5: Moving develop module sliders blurs the image for a moment

I'm evaluating Lightroom 5 during the 30 day trial and it's all cool except for this one big annoyance that I noticed immediately when trying to work on an image in Develop module. As stated in the title, moving any slider (exposure, highlights, noise reduction, etc.) causes the image to go very blurry for the duration of the slider movement. It goes immediately back to being sharp as soon as I stop moving the slider. This is super annoying, feels as though my eyes are going bad.
What's interesting is that the problem doesn't show up when I'm adjusting the Tone Curve directly, but it will get triggered if I'll expand and use the sliders underneath. So looks like a bug that only applies to sliders.
This doesn't happen at all in Lightroom 4.4, which I still have installed and can compare side-by-side.
As for the hardware, I'm using the 2013 Macbook Air with 1.3 GHz i5 CPU and 8 GB of RAM. The OS X version is 10.8.4 with all latest upgrades installed.
I've already tried optimizing the catalog, giving it more space (currently at 3 GB) and purging it. I'm not using Smart Previews, although I've turned them on for a moment to see if the problem persists with them on - it does. I've also re-rendered the 1:1 preview for the specific image I've been trying it on. Btw, the file is a NEF from Nikon D300 and I'm using the 2012 process (as was the case with LR4). Not sure what else might be relevant here.

If this is indeed intentional, is there any way to turn it off? I would much rather it had taken a bit longer to update the photo, than to have the image switch to this "pixel doubled" version.
Also, this doesn't happen at all in LR 4.4 on the same machine. However, if it indeed isn't a bug, this probably means LR5 requires more resources to process a photo than 4.4. This would be somewhat disappointing, given that LR5 was supposed to be faster than its predecessor.

Lightroom installed on Mac, developer module disabled.

Hi, I have been using the trial copy of Lightroom (on my Mac) and yesterday (Tuesday) I purchased the download from Amazon and it installed perfectly. The only problem is that the Develop module and the Map modules are showing '...module is disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate'.
I have followed the instructions on the help page referring to the SLStore and SLCache folders but those folders are not showing in my Finder. Can anyone advise please?

If you have the serial number from Amazon, you could probably just uninstall the version that you have and download the trial version from Adobe and install it. Then you could activate that with your serial number.

If you rented the film on your iPhone or Apple TV then you can't transfer it - when you rent on an iOS device you can only watch it on that iOS device.
The only way to be able to move rentals is if you rent them on your computer's iTunes (you can't use AirDrop nor Bluetooth) : How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer
Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
Click the Movies button.
Select the movie, and then click Move.
After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
For purchases from the store, not rentals, you should be able to copy them from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option
For AirDrop, there is a bit of info on this page : Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content.

Old Develop Module in new upgrade LR5

I am trying out the 30 day LR 5 trial to see if I would like to upgrade. For some reason my Develop Module contains the same tools as my older version, though I know I shouldn't even see a "brightness" tool... How do I fix this and get the new tools so I can continue my 30 day trial?

You are probably viewing photos edited in Process Version 2010.
Update the photos to PV 2012 and access the new tools
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/develop-module-options.html
Be warned that there are big differences between PV2010 and PV2012 and you may not always like the changes.
http://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-lightroom-process-versions
So it's up to you whether you want to convert all existing photos to PV2012 in one step - or if you want to convert them one/several at a time.
New photos imported into LR5 will automatically be edited in PV2012 so there will be no conversion required and the tools in the Develop module will be the new ones as expected.

About Lr Develop Module

Develop Module has two very tiny square spots to click turn on/off panel. It takes a little concentrating to hit the right spot. Could those toggle buttons change a bit? Just simply one spot toggle on/off. It would be easier to use.

Try putting the Develop module into "Solo" mode (right-click on one of the panels - "Basic", "Detail", what have you - and select "Solo Mode" from the menu) - this automatically closes open panels as you open a new one, saving you from the trouble of closing them yourself.

I backup Lightroom 5 and now I cannot see "Basic" from my develop module

I backup Lightroom 5 and now I cannot see "Basic" from my develop module! Help!

Right-click on any other panel tab and make sure they are all checked.

Just updated to LR5.4 on my mac and the Detail Panel in the Develop module is missing. How to fix?

How do you fix the missing Detail panel in the Develop module? I just updated on the Mac to LR 5.4.

Right-click on any RH panel header in Develop and put a check mark next to the Detail panel

LR5 - Selected image does not display in the Develop Module

I recently upgraded to LR5 from LR4.1. I have seen on several occasions where the selected image in the Develop Module does not appear. I can move back to the LIbrary view and the image appears, but when I switch back to the Develop Module, the image disappears and only a black box appears (dark grey really). This seems to happen after I have deleted flagged files using the ALT-Backspace shortcut. This has happeded when I deleted while in the Library and Develop Module, but does not happen every time. I have disabled the "Show photo on Mouse Over" view option. Prior to that, the preview window shows the selected or moused over photo.
The only thing I can do to get the develop module to work again is to restart Lightroom. I've seen no other posts regarding this issue and it is very annoying when trying to go through 4000 photos! I can find no place to report bugs, so I am posting this here.

i found LR5 the most bug infested LR version ever.
i "use" it only as test setup.
real work i still do with LR 4.4.

nope.. in this forum you will only hear that this is not such a big issue and will be fixed soon.

When I change anything in Develope module LR5 will not allow me to open a .NEF file in PS6

I am using LR5, ACR 8.2 Beta and PS6 on a MAC. If I open a .NEF file in Develop Module and make any changes I cannot get LR to allow me to choose 'Edit in PS6". The option lights up but nothing happens when I click on it.
If I Choose a .NEF file that has just been imported and no changes have been made, LR will allow me to open it in PS6. Also .jpg and .psd files will open fine in PS6 from LR5.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you happen to be using a new camera? If the camera you are using in in the latest camera raw that is available in LR5 but is not in the version of camera raw that PS6 uses, that's the behavior I've seen where Photoshop basically doesn't do anything. Remember that Adobe doesn't go back and update camera raw in the old versions of PS. I've got a post coming out on Tuesday that covers my experiences using LR4/LR5 and PS CS4. But the way that I get around the incompatibility is to have LR render the file and send it over the PS instead of having PS try to open my NEF.
I think typically what should happen if you open a NEF, make changes to it, and try to send it over to PS is that you should be prompted by Lightroom to see if you want to send over the NEF or a rendered version of the image with the Lightroom changes. Do you see that dialog at all?

How do I change the size of my screen, in Develop Module, so that I can access the Exposure Slide in the right-hand colummn?

The right-hand column, under the Develop Module, begins with the Histogram and directly under the Histogram, the Tone Curve is seen. Missing is the Exposure Slide. How do I change the size of the screen to show the Exposure Slide before the Tone Curve?

Right-click (Cmd-click Mac) on the tone curve panel header or any of the other panel headers and make sure there is a checkmark for Basic.

"Edit in Photoshop Elements" an Option in Development Module?

In viewing the tutorials for Lightroom (while considering whether to purchase it), I noted that there was integration with PS CS2 (and soon, CS3) and that it works like this: In the "Develop" module select "Photo," then "Edit in Photoshop CS2;" the key here is that once editing in CS2 is complete the saved edits are automatically incorporated back into the Lightroom Library. Because I don't have, and may never need, CS2 (or CS3) along with Lightroom (if I get it) I'd hope that the exact same integration is possible with Photoshop Elements 5. So my question is simple: If PSE 5 is installed along with Lightroom will "Develop" and "Photo" include an option for "Edit in Photoshop Elements 5" and have the same automatic integration with the Lightroom Library? (Or, if PSE 5 is not a listed option but is accessible through the "edit with other" option, will the saved file still be integrated automatically into the Lightroom Library?)
Thanks. (And I did search the forum for this answer; sorry if it was there and I missed it.)

I had a demo copy of elements on my system when I installed the beta version of LR. Along side that I had my old and trusty PS 7.LR found PS7
and I set up Elements as a second option for editing. I bought LR and installed it over the beta version.From then on I was given the option to import from Elements in the file menu.PS7 was greyed outwhen I checked to see if I could still edit under PS7.
The demo of Elements expired so I uninstalled it.LR still offers me the option to import from Elements. I have tried the registry hack and all looks well but it is still grayed out in LR and it still "sees" a program which is no longer on my system. I have had a good look around the system including the registry for remnants of Elements that might still be around but cant see any.
Anyway it seems to me that LR can find Elements if it wants to even if it isnt't there and as I have said elsewhere on this forum, why do we have to hack the registry to get some parts this program to work? Adobe need to sort this and all the other bugs out. They owe it to all of us who have paid good money to them for what seems to be a poorly finished product.

I am working in the Develop module of Lightroom 5 and have accidentally bumped a setting and lost the Basic menu and the option to retrieve it. "Tone curve" is directly under the tool bar now. How can I retrieve the "Basic" menu?

How can I retrieve the "Basic" menu on Lightroom 5? I accidentally bumped something while working in the Develop module of Lightroom 5, and now the Tone Curve menu is directly under the Tool Bar, with no option to click on "Basic."

Right-click on Tone Curve and choose basic again or press Ctrl+1 in Develop.
On Mac (Control-Click or Cmd+1)
