No Color or Tone Section in Develop Panel????

Hi-
I have downloaded and have been using a trial LR3. However, my download version has no color adjustment/HSL, etc. and Tone adjustment in the Develop Function. Can anyone tell me what is happening here and how to fix it??

In the Develop Module there are several individual panels on the right hand side, each with a "arrow" shaped button to expand collapse the options.
1.Basic; 2. Tone Curve; 3. HSL/Color/B&W; 4. Split Tone; 5 Detail; 6 Lens Correction; 7 Effects; 8 Camera Calibration.

Why does Auto Tone button in Quick Develop panel fail with Win 7 platform?

I have been a user of Photoshop since the inception of Photoshop CS. I recently purchased a subscription to Photoshop CC, which comes with Photoshop Lightroom 5.
I have never used Lightroom, so I purchased the Kindle version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, CLASSROOM IN A BOOK. I have this eBook installed on the same Windows 7 PC that I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 installed on.
I ran into a problem in a section of the first chapter titled “Using Quick Develop in the Library module.” This section, in part, instructs how to quickly improve the color tonal balance of an image.
After selecting the required image from the sample images for this lesson, I found the histogram in my Lightroom 5 Loupe view to be the same as the lesson’s photo illustration for this original image. As described in the lesson, the photo did not have a balanced tonal distribution.
I followed the lesson’s instruction: “4. In the Quick Develop panel, watch the tone distribution curve shift in the Histogram panel as you click the Auto Tone button. Although the automatic adjustment hasn’t done a perfect job with this particular photo, there is substantial improvement; a lot of image detail has been recovered from the overexposed hair and face and there is more depth in the mid-tones. The contrast, however, remains unimpressive, and the darker areas still look flat.” (See Adobe Creative Team [2013-08-06]. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5: Classroom in a Book [Kindle Locations 1024-1026]. Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.)
This is where I ran into a problem. After clicking on the Auto Tone Button in the Quick Develop panel, my results were completely different than what was described and shown in the Histogram displayed in the lesson. Instead, in my Lightroom 5, clicking the Lightroom Auto Tone button has increased the exposure, making it even more over exposed than the original image! Therefore continuing to follow the instructions in the lesson was a waste of time, since my Auto Tone results were so totally out of sync from that of the lesson.
This disturbed me, so I decided to open the same sample image in Photoshop CC, Camera RAW 8.2. Camera RAW provides an Auto Button which improves exposure and color tonal balance to an image. The results were exactly the same as the Auto Tone functionality in the Quick Develop panel in Lightroom 5. I couldn't understand why the lesson instructor's results were so positive and mine were so disastrous. Then it hit me! I discovered that the lesson writer of this Adobe Classroom in a Book was using Lightroom 5 on a MAC computer. I could tell by looking at his lesson images. Just to be sure, I tried this lesson scenario on a different PC with Win 7, Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5. I got the same failed results.
I’ve heard from other professionals that Photoshop and Lightroom software only work properly on Apple computers. I’ve always thought that this was a myth, but have infrequently experienced a good result using the Auto button feature in Photoshop Camera Raw on a Windows PC platform, so I don’t use it often.
What really has me frustrated is the fact that Adobe no longer has a direct way to report software defects to their tech support or process improvement teams. Their online bug reporting process is woefully inadequate. I've tried twice to create a support ticket on the Adobe site, only to have my case withdrawn mysteriously. I've tried their online chat, telephone support, and sent emails with image attachments to the address provided by their agent on the telephone. My email goes unanswered and my open cases somehow get closed.
Any ideas on how to get this issue addressed by Adobe are sincerely appreciated.

Adobe tries to improve the Auto Tone function from time-to-time. I used to completely underexpose an image that had a few bright spots such as car headlights turned on in an otherwise properly exposed image. This is probably what you’re seeing, LR now guessing brighter more of the time, and it might change, again, in a future version so don’t be too concerned.
As others have said, Auto Tone works on some images and not on others, and Adobe can only try to make it work better on more images by changing how it works on all images. For the lesson example, the author purposely used an image that was improved with auto-tone that LR did at the time of authorship. You will never have a picture exactly like the lesson’s example, either, so it’s not that important if the lesson is 100% accurate for future versions of LR, just that the general idea that some pictures are improved in certain ways by Auto Tone will still be applicable, and you’ll need to learn, by trial and error, what to do when Auto Tone doesn’t work well or the image needs further adjustment. That is the important lesson, what to do with your own pictures.
You can reset a particular slider after a bad Auto Tone by double clicking on that slider. The Exposure slider is the one I reset most often.
You can also LR set the Auto Tone value for just one slider by holding down the Shift key and double clicking on that one slider. I do this a lot for the Blacks slider to set the black point, without messing up everything else.

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)

For some reason, "HSL" is gone from my develop panel. I used to be able to adjust specific colors (blues, greens etc) for saturation, luminance and so on. But that option is now gone from my develop panel. How do I get it back?

Right-click the title bar of any of the panels in the righthand column of the Develop module (for example, the Basic panel) and choose "Adjustments" from the panel list that appears.

Two different sets of sliders in the Basic section of Develop

When different set of pictures are developed I see 2 different sets of sliders in the Tone section of the Basic panel. When editing pictures from last year and before, I see 6 sliders: Exposure; Recovery; Fill Light; Blacks; Brightness and Contrast. These shots were all taken with a Nikon D60, Nikon lenses and saved in RAW (Nikon's NEF) and JPEG. With pictures taken recently, I only see 2 sliders: Exposure and Contrast. One difference is that the pictures were only saved in RAW (NEF). Both sets of pictures were taken with the same camera and lenses using the same Lightroom workflow to import. Both sets of pictures were imported into Lightroom using Lightroom' Import but not converted to DNGs. Some of the older pictures were imported using Lightroom 4 and then upgraded to Lightroom 5. Current version of Lightroom is 5.3 with Windows 7.

The slider set Exposure; Recovery; Fill Light; Blacks; Brightness and Contrast was the UI for Processing Version (PV) 2003 used in LR1 and LR2 and for PV 2010 in LR3. LR4 and LR5 use PV 2012 whose UI in Basic is Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks. The PV can be changed in the Calibration panel. The way tonality is managed in PV 2012 is quite different from the earlier versions.

CameraRaw.dll (v4.0.0.1) how much is it involved in develop panel?

When I get to the detail section of the develop panel for capture sharpening and noise adjustment is when I can expect the flashing screen and intermittent ' Lightroom is not responding'.
If I'm going to do any local brush adjustments or graduated filter I have found it better be done before the noise removal otherwise working in those two areas contribute to white outs on the whole develop window
Although I have only had two crashes through this month of accumulating 380 new test images both involved the cameraraw.dll (exception code: 0xc0000005) and the occurence was after applying the noise removal then going up to the local adjustments. The lens profile is left to the last
Editing the capture sharpening and the noise removal amounts will create the same flashing and not responding.
The available memory is not used up although the task manager does display a very low number in the free section.
Windows 7 4 core 8G ram -Ati video 5800 and latest drivers.
I just wondered if there was a connection or if this info would be of use to the persons revising the software code.

If it is not running, I think <ctrl> w is the old LV shortcut to get to the diagram. I would open a new VI , and insert it in the diagram. but hmmm, it has been ages... so not sure if <ctrl> double click will jump you straight to the diagram of the subvi...

Develop panels not responding...

I just recently uploaded some new pics, sorted them all out and went to the develop module to start editing. When I click on one of the develop panels, it only opens maybe half way. Tried to open another panel and nothing happens ( Tone Adjustment, HTL etc. ). I checked my view mode, everything looks OK. Nothing is hidden, the panels just don't work. I'm running LR 3.6 on a Dell with Windows 7. I just tried the panels in the quick develop module and the panels are doing the same thing. Tried reboot, optimize catalog. Any help ?

Hi,
Try resetting the prefrences for your lightroom.
Location is given on webpage:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lighroom-3.html
You can simply go to the relevant location according to your Operating system and delete the .prefs file.
Then check if it is working or not.
If working, very good.
If not ,simply create a new catalog, you can use import from another catalog option to get back your previous catalog pictures.
Thanks

When I change my TIFFs to jpegs, the color and tone are changing as well [was: Need help please!]

When I change my TIFFs to jpegs, the color and tone are changing as well, any ideas as to what the problem could be?

You are screwing up the colors by not using color management or at least not keeping an eye what color space/ profiel your source files use anbd what happens when Safe for Web converts them. As a start, perhaps refer to this, then work your way through the Internet wide and far to learn about color management:

I lost the Development Panel on right side. Only Histogram shows.

I am using LR5 and it has been working for me pretty well but today I may have accidentally clicked on something that resulted in the loss of those Development panels. Only the Histogram shows. I wish to restore all the missing panels. I was too afraid to check on various things in the Toolbar (such as Settings, View, etc) and at any rate now the Toolbar has also disappeared. In short, I cannot do any post processing of my RAW files.
I am using an Intel Mac OS X 10.7. Any help would be much appreciated.

I can't seem to drag and drop my ringtones from my tones library to the tones section on my iphone 5. Does anyone know why or what I can do?

I created some ringtones and managed to get them into the tones section of my library on itunes. I can see and play them. However, when I try to drag and drop them into the tones library on my iphone it will let me drag them but not drop them in. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

Library Module - Quick Develop Panel

Hi,
I was really hoping that the Quick Develop panel in the Library Module which I sometimes use if there are minor touchups needed to a photo would have been redesigned to more closely resemble and work like the Basic panel in the Develop Module. Certainly sliders instead of those arrow buttons would be a very useful change.
I'm pretty sure that this has been a popular enhancement request. Does anyone know why this wans't changed?
Thanks,
Eli

Can LR show the numbers in Quick developement panel?

Try to use quick development panel, it is easy to use but for exposure, clarity and vibrance you cannot see how many stops you have adjusted.
Can LR show the numbers in Quick development panel?
Any comment?

>I think that Quick Deve function is useless if you can not see the how >many stops you have adjusted.
When LR first came out I did not "get" the Quick Dev function. Luminous Landscape have an excellent video tutorial for LR by Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe.
It explains that the QD function is there to allow you to make quick visual adjustments to images to assist in choosing picks / rejects and generally culling a shoot. Until you have the exposure / contrast / colour balance somewhere near correct, it is difficult to properly evaluate a shot. Using QD like this then makes sense, it's not supposed to duplicate or take the place of the develop module.
Note that the adjustments you make in QD are relative, that is if you select a group of generally underexposed shots and increase the exposure the amount will be relative to each shots original exposure level.

Developer Panel is Blank. How To Restore?

In Lightroom 3, the Developer panel is now blank. It used to display an array of tools. How can I restore these tools?

Good grief. How could I have missed that little arrow that shows or hides the tools? Probably because I seldom hide tools. Oh well. This is exactly the kind of solution one hopes for from a forum like this. Thanks.
