I lost my Basic module in Develop mode...HELP!

While letting someone borrow my lightroom, I lost my Basic module in the Develop mode.  I am LOST without it.  How can I get it back?  Reinstall?  Time Machine from past?  Will I lose pics if I do that?

Right click any panel header onthe right hand side of the interface, and place a check mark next to "Basic."
Or, press Ctrl-1 (Windows) or Cmd-1 (Mac).
There's also a menu command to view the panel, but I can't remember it and I don't have LR in front of me right now.

    Right click on one of the title bars, like Detail or Tone Curve, and check Basic.

  • In 5.4 my basic panel in develop mode is different on my laptop and desktop.

    Desktop displays highlights, shadows, whites and blacks, Laptop displays exposure, recovery, fill light and blacks which was the same as my previous lightroom 3.4. It was not an upgrade I don't think, I did have 3.4 installed previously. I prefer the version on my desktop.

    Difference is due to whether photo being viewed is set to use current or legacy process version.
    one place to check: develop module - camera calibration section.

  • Lost BASIC section of adjustment panel in DEVELOP mode.

    Editing my first image in Lr5, v7.  Somehow I have lost the BASIC section of adjustment panel in the DEVELOP mode.  This adjustment panel now starts at TONE CURVE, just under the TOOL STRIP.  How can I get the BASIC section of the adjustment panel back???

    Right-click on Tone Curve or any other tab and choose Basic again.
    Or in develop Mode press Cmd+1 (Ctrl+1)

    Question:  I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop.  On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared.  I am lost.  Help.

    It's a common issue. The Basic panel is merely hidden.
    Hiding/unhiding panels is actually a feature of Lightroom but it is unintuitive - few people know it exists - so most newcomers are thrown when a panel somehow gets hidden.
    Right-click anywhere in the right hand side panel area and a context menu will appear.
    Click the Basic option to make the Basic panel re-appear.

    wrong one indeed, but it's also Friday in Ireland! I hope the original poster sees the answer, amid this clutter...

  • 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.

    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.

    Happy New Year!
    The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
    The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
    The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
    Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
    Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
    This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
    I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
    SUGGESTION
    Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
    Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
    Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
    Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
    Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
    Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
    The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
    If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
    If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.

  • Lightroom 4 Bug: can only see photos in Library mode, not develop mode

    This may be related to other imported catalog bugs, but does not seem to be quite the same. In Lightroom 4, with an upgraded Lightroom 3 catalog:
    1. Select a photo in Library mode.
    2. Click on Develop to go to Develop mode
    Screen shows "No photo selected". I cannot edit photos in Develop mode.
    I can see and edit photos that are found in smart collections, but not photos that are simply in my collections from 2012, 2011, etc. folders

    This happened to me, too, after importing a couple older LR3 catalogs (upgrading/consolidating). I could see the photo in Library module but when I pressed "D" (single photo selected) I was getting the "no photo selected" error message--for every photo I tried. I wasn't able to open any photos at all in the develop module. (These were photos that were fine before installing LR4 and upgrading.) Photos were from imported LR3 and LR4 Beta catalogs.
    I restarted and everything seems ok--for now!
    So if you come across this thread with this same issue, restart and see if that helps. (Before restarting LR I optimized as suggested above, which did nothing for the "no photo selected" issue. And this isn't related to the parent folder issue, I left my photos in the same place and didn't have more than 3k photos in any of the parent folders. I read in other threads that people had the issue again after importing other catalogs. I'm about to do that so I'll report back.

  • Allow editing metadata in develop mode

    My biggest dissatisfaction about Lightroom right now is the distinction between Library and Develop modes or views. I would dearly love to get rid of the "quick develop" panel - perhaps make that something that could be displayed via the application prefs - and put the keywords and metadata panels into the develop module. I find myself frequently wanting to switch from one module to another - to add a keyword while I'm adjusting the exposure, or to jump over to the editable histogram while I'm sorting out the keepers from the losers. I don't currently use the Web or Print modules at all, so I just ignore them.

    Quick Develop serves 2 purposes - adjustment of lots of images in increments, and adjustment so you can compare and evaluate images (eg when you've been bracketting). It also uses cached data, while Develop accesses the original image data - so things happen quicker.
    I didn't like QD at first either, but I'd recommend you give it more of a chance and don't delete it (you can Alt/Opt click it). Secondly, Ctrl/Cmd click the Sync button in Develop so you enter Auto Sync mode - this makes Develop adjustments apply to all selected items and great reduces the back and forth between Library and Develop.
