You've inadvertently hidden the panel. Right click one of the panel headings, and tick the Adjustments option.

Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks

So in the Basic panel of the Develop module, there are sliders for:
Highlights
Shadows
Whites
Blacks
Is it just me or from a workflow perspective, wouldn't it make more sense to have them listed as:
Whites
Highlights
Shadows
Blacks
While playing with the beta, I found myself working with highlights and whites together or working with blacks and shadows together. The jumping around in that panel meant I had to pay way more attention to it than necessary which was distracting.
Anyone else or am I just too uptight?!

Despite the fact that I see the "top down" approach, I would still rather sacrifice that a little bit and instead having the sliders in the photographic order.
Top down is only valid for the first run. After that, I usually find myself adjust here and there a little bit. And that usually take quite a bit more time than the first run.
So when sanitizing the shadows/blacks for instance, the jumping seems tedious.

The basic sliders disappeared. Including the Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, Clarity and Vibrance Sliders are no longer available. I need help to get them back

The basic sliders disappeared. Including the Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, Clarity and Vibrance Sliders are no longer available. I need help to get them back on the program.
I can't figure out where the sliders went and how to put them back on. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

In Lightroom, go to the Window menu, select Panels, select Basic

Aperture 2.1 Sluggish Exposure Adjustment Sliders

Description of Problem:
1. When the Straighten Brick is applied to an image being adjusted, the Exposure Brick sliders become erratic and do not track mouse movement or the Wacom Tablet Stylus tip.
2. This condition substantially worsens when the Highlights and Shadows Brick sliders are also applied to the image simultaneously.
3. A similar condition appears with the combination of Crop and Highlights and Shadows.
4. This condition is so severe that I took my Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 4 Gig's of Apple Ram and NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256 Vram Computer to the Apple Store Genius Bar for diagnosis and possible repair.
5. After my having demonstrated the problem, the Genius Team took my set of internal hard drives out of my computer and installed them in a brand new Mac Pro in the Apple Store, where the problem persisted, thus eliminating my hardware as part of the the problem.
6. It was then suggested to me by the Genius Team that I create a new Aperture Library, trash my Aperture Preferences and re-import my images into the new Library. The sluggish and erratic Exposure sliders problem persisted!
7. I then, on my own, created a third Aperture Library and imported only a few images. As long as the Straighten Brick is not part of the adjustment pallet, the Exposure Brick sliders behave normally, tracking the mouse or Wacom Tablet Stylus Pen tip.
However, when the Crop and or Straighten Bricks are added or combined with the Highlights and Shadows Brick sliders, the Exposure and White Balance sliders become erratic, sluggish and nearly useless.
Of note, the Enhance sliders, however, are unaffected by the above combination of Adjustment Bricks.
8. I then tested this scenario on both the 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon and 2 x 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro models in the Apple Store, with extremely similar results. The later, 3.2 GHz Mac Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB Video card installed and having 4 Gigs of Ram.
9. I tested the scenario with my images as well as with the the sample images installed within the Aperture Application Library, both with identical results.
10. Clearly, this phenomena is a defect in the Aperture Software, as it can easily be demonstrated independently of specific Apple hardware, and as it is very common to apply the Straighten, Crop, Highlights and Shadows adjustments to an image, renders the Aperture Application useless, as an effective workflow solution. A Professional Photographer cannot guess at the Exposure settings and or wait and hope for the adjustment slider to track mouse movement while it jumps around erratically in the process.

What you're doing simply requires more calculations than your processor can perform in an acceptable amount of time. The tradeoff of the non-destructive image editor is that every transformation you apply has to be recalculated and effectively re-applied every single time you make any change to any one of them on the stack. Given the average size of a modern camera raw file, this gets very expensive very quickly.
There are certainly ways of caching intermediate data in the interest of drawing speed, but the white balance and exposure sliders fundamentally change every aspect of the image data's interpretation and are some of the most expensive operations you can possibly perform. Not only does it have to loop through every single pixel in the image to calculate the various gamma encodings you ask it to with every little nudge of the slider, but it also has to rotate them all by however much you've asked the straighten tool to. Top that off with the fact that Aperture has never been widely regarded as a "speed demon" and you've got laggy sliders.
Try Lightroom. You'll probably find it lags at times, too.
Now try sharpening a 1MB file in Photoshop 2 running on a Quadra. Not so long ago we had to wait hours for every single trivial adjustment to our low res and completely unprintable images to complete only to discover that it wasn't what we wanted at all. This wasn't a defect, it was the result of pushing the available technology beyond its limits. I have no doubt that Aperture could and should be optimized significantly, but the fact of the matter is that artists will always find ways to saturate the bandwidth of any computer on the market, however powerful.

LR 4.4.1 crashing on iMac osx 10.8.5 when using exposure and shadows sliders. Will not restart with out resetting surge protector. Worked perfectly for 1.5 years with upgrades to 4.4

Hello,
Thanks for any help you may have. LR 4.4 worked perfectly on iMac 27' OSX 10.8.5 for 1.5 years until October this year when shut downs began when making adjustments on primarily exposure and shadow sliders. Unit would not restart unless rebooting surge protector(s) after 10-15 minute wait. Apple replaced main board and cleared disc. Back-up and LR 4 reloaded and updated to 4.4.1. New surge protection or direct into receptacle makes no difference and shutdown happens immediately upon slider movement. Any suggestions or self checks an old guy can possibly do? It is Educator/student version.

Hello and thanks for the reply.
The entire computer shuts down and will not restart without a reset of the new (and previous) surge protector or if plugged directly to the wall receptacle anywhere from 30 minute to overnight reset before on button restart will work. Other than slider adjustments on LR, it has only shut down one other time when loading photos via USB 3.0 cable to LR. All images from camera are in RAW. Apple tried to replicate this earlier this week with LR but could not read anything other than an increased usage on one of the diagnostic meters when the sliders were moved quickly from side to side.
Other computer functions are normal and rarely used except for e-mail, web search, and 90% LR. Plenty of memory in reserve.
Considering two upgrades (1) LR 5 to get new camera profiles (Pentax K-3)
(2)Yosemite OSX if it would help the LR4.4 or LR5 actually behave
Hope this helps illustrate the dilemma and thanks for your support.

Highlight/shadow sliders changing back to LR3

I just downloaded LR4 as a trial. Everything seemed to install just fine, but when I open LR4, the new whites highlights shadows blacks sliders instantly turn back to the old LR3 recovery fill light sliders....I see them for about 3 seconds and they change right before my eyes. Why is it doing this?

In develop module... down right corner...!... update to current proces.> update all in filmstrip
Or down right module .... Camera calibration...process.... change to 2012.

New HIGHLIGHTS/SHADOWS not as useful?

Maybe I'm showing my amateur-ness here, but I'm not getting as good a results w/ the new updated HIGHLIGHTS/SHADOWS brick.
I didn't use the old one much, but I liked the SHADOWS to merely bump up some shots (slightly) and I sometimes used HIGHLIGHTS when RECOVERY didn't get me quite there.
But the new one doesn't seem to give me much of any adjustment unless I'm near 50% on either slider. And then it's fairly drastic. Not the "incrimental" nudges I got used to on the previous versions.
Anyone else noticing this?

Yes. I didn't take kindly to the change. There are posts here on how to make the old Brick available (Léonie has made it easy for you) -- I have assigned it to a keyboard shortcut.
That said, the new Brick is more useful than I first thought. Like you, I was used to the _scale_ of the sliders in the old Brick, and shocked to find that what I had internalized as "enough" had become "not visible".
You have to train your mouse-hand with the new Brick's sliders as a totally new Brick, not as a modified version of the old Brick. Now that I am comfortable with the scale (and the variation within the scale, as you point out), the new Brick is nowhere near as useless (and offensive for this) as I first judged it to be.
I still would like to have ready access to the old "Width" sliders, however.
Do us a favor and leave the orchard keepers a note asking for an improved or merged H & S Brick: "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
OT: "Amateur" only recently became a term of denigration. The change seems to be part of the corporatization of public life. I am an amateur, as proud of that as of my professional accomplishments.

Highlight/Shadow Clipping Indicator - Show the image too.

The highlight/shadow clipping indicator feature (Alt/Exposure or Alt/Blacks on my PC. Not sure what it is on a MAC)is marvellous and indispensible. But, it could be better, in my view.
When you are checking for clipping using this feature, the image disappears leaving you with only the clipped pixels. Everything else goes black.
The problem is that you only see the effect of your decision on how much clipping you want to allow (if any) when you take you finger off the Alt key.
It is vital, particularly when judging shadow clipping, which is so important in setting the overall contrast of the image, to be able to see the effect of your actions in real time. These actions can be so subjective.
So, would it be possible for the highlight and shadow clipping (i.e. the blown pixels) to appear in the form of a colour on the image, *but* keeping the image visible at all times?
Thinking about it further......it would be great to be able to switch between 'blacked out' and visible in Preferences, or some such.
Thanks.

>Just curious though, where on the Adobe site would I have found this extremely useful piece of information?
You might start with Photoshop help, which explains those controls and directs you to a
Video Turorial on the Adobe web site.
While the help is well done, ACR is a pretty complex topic, and for a more in depth coverage I would recommend the latest edition of Bruce Fraser's Real World Camera Raw, which Jeff has updated and will be available soon.

Sorting order for Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks controls.

I absolutely love the new set of controls as compared to the similar options in LR3. With just these 6 controls and a few seconds I can get my image looking great. One thing is making me crazy though, the four controls are logically sorted "Whites, Highlights, Shadows, Blacks" in terms of the range that they impact. If the controsl were sorted as I suggested, I would be able to think through the problem of fixing a particular image more efficiently.
Has this been discussed or considered?

I should add, with only four items in question, putting the two you are most likely to use slightly closer together will result in little gained efficiency. Having them sorted in a manner that is easier to teach, learn and internalize will likely lead to better results for a larger percentage of users.
Further, if they were sorted in the manner I suggest, it would be possible to further strengthen the understanding of how the features work by showing a color curve overlay on the histogram. This would make it even easier for folks to understand how these six abstract controls affect the image.
It sounds like there is a mix of rational and reactive pushback to this approach from the vocal audience on this forum. I would be very interested to see how the two compared in blind lab studies with participants of comparable experience. (Including new and existing users... I would like to think that Adobe is saavy enough to realize that it is important to court new users if they want to grow their customer base and profit opportunity.)
If there's one thing we can pull from this whole discussion, it's that there's no way for Adobe to make everyone happy on this issue. There just isn't. Some people absolutely hate that the sliders are ordered as the are in LR4b, others seem to think it makes perfect sense. Both are adamant in their stance. So now it becomes this whole over-blown issue of," What percentage of users like it this way compared to that way." I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why it's such a big deal. Is it that hard to use the controls in the order that Adobe placed them in LR4b. Really? Is it? Is it really that slow for you high-volume photographers out there? Is it really something that you won't completely get used to in all of a few hours of using LR4?
The current sort order of the sliders in LR4b is not necessarily just an order-of-operations that is being thrust upon Lightroom users. The rationale is that the controls follow an order which, in most cases for most photographs, flows from the most global adjustments to the most specific. It's more than just an arbitrary ordering based on "what Adobe says we ought to do first".
The truth is, while I understand Adobe's reasoning here, I really don't care what order the sliders end up in. Why? Because it really doesn't matter all that much, at all. I mean, think about it. Let's say that the current order of the sliders in LR4b makes it to the final version. Are users going to keep using Lightroom 3 in protest? No. Are users going to keep all their photos in PV2010 expressly because they simply can't handle the order of the sliders in PV2012? No. The reason that nobody will go to such lengths is that it's reallly just not that important. This is an exceptionally minor issue of personal preference that has less weight and importance than the hard drive space at Adobe used to store all of the threads that have popped up in complaint of the slider order.
I know that everyone vehemently arguing against the current slider order will whole-heartedly disagree... but I simply had to put in my two-cents. The issue of slider order is so miniscule that I cannot fathom why so much has already been written about it.
EDIT*****
An afterthought...
Really? "Blind lab studies" to scientifically determine what order to put LR4 sliders in? C'mon guys... you've got to be kidding me...

Use scroll wheel to adjust sliders

Would like to adjust sliders via mouse scroll wheel. I've tried on a variety of sliders and none seem to work
Yes I've found keys to adjust, but would prefer not to remove hand from mouse so often.
Win 7
Photoshop CC 2014 32bit
Logitech mouse

If you mean by clicking on the arrow, bringing up the actual slider. No, that doesn't work. I've tried clicking various parts of the slider itself to no avail.
Have tried on numerous different adjustments, labels, filters in case that it only works on some.

Is there a way to adjust shadows in iMovie 11? WhenI adjust brightness it changes shadows also. If not is there free or low cost software available? My operating system is Lion.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Wrong image preview while I am moving adjustment sliders in Aperture

When I move adjustment sliders, a different recently and previosly adjusted image will frequently show in the viewer while the slider is being moved. Sometimes parts of two or more previous images will appear and sometimes in the wrong orientation. This makes it makes it impossible to see the result of the adjustment until I release the slider which is annoying. I cannot reliably replicate the problem but it happens often. It seems random as if the wrong image is in a cache and not refreshing properly.
Details:
MacPro (New) 6-core 32GB RAM, D300 Graphics OS X
Aperture 3.5.1
Moved Library from old machine (2007 MacPro) and rebuilt library
250K images all referenced
Library is big (236GB)
Files are RAW Canon 5dMk3 and tend to be about 30MB
Preferences:
Import: standard previews
Previews: generate automatically and share when quitting (half size medium quality)
library created new previews for all images when I rebuilt it
machine will run processor and memory hard, sometimes around 90%
Might it be a poor choice of preference settings or a corrupt library? Anyone else ever experience this condition? I would appreciate any suggestions.

On a conceptual level, it should not be a problem, but a Preview is related to a Version, and a Version is related to one Original/Master. There can be multiple Versions, all of which must point to a single Original.
You are not adjusting a Preview, but rather a Version. What you see as you adjust is a new rendering of the Version, and is not the Preview you saw when you decided to adjust, I believe.
There are on the order of 8 or 9 other files related to every Original even if only one Version in the Package that is the Library. Very complex indexing going on at all times.
Please open an image, and before attempting to adjust, click on File, and choose Show in Finder -- is the Finder image the correct one? And in the correct location?
Now attempt to adjust. Does the image change? If so, again us Show in Finder and check.

Does anyone have problems using the highlights, shadows and sharpness edits in iphoto? Since I uploaded Mountain Lion, those editing tabs do not work!

Does anyone have problems using the highlights, shadows and sharpness controls in iphoto 11? Since I uploaded Mountain Lion on my
mac mini, those editing features no longer work!!!!

Sorry, I booted into 10.8 just to test this, but I only have iPhoto 08.

What is happening to my Aperture adjustment sliders?

After the Lion upgrade, Aperture adjustment sliders are buggy. I can adjust an image, but when I go to the next image, the slider either has no effect or it alters the previous image I just left. The only "fix" I have found is to exit Aperture and relaunch.
HELP!

Unless you give us the URL we can't possible begin to help.
Happy Holidays

Lost adjustment sliders exposure ,highlights,shadows,ect.
