Basic Settings tab is missing from the develop module

I recently purchased lightroom 4 after using the free trial of 30 days, and I have no basic settings on my mac, can't find them anywhere? My tabs go to color curve histogram. Where are they?

Very confused...

No need to be confused, you have probably inadvertently it hidden. The thing is that in each Module, all the individual panels in each of the left and right columns can be eventually displayed or hidden under the control of the user (there are a few minor exceptions such as the browser, but overall, this control is available throughtout Lightroom).

So to view the options for each column (in your case, expand the column to the right of the Module), simply right click (ctrl-click on Mac) on ONE of the headers that are displayed in this column, and you will see a menu of local context as the attached screenshot. Here you can see that I previously hid the base Panel, so all I have to do is click on the baseline and it is restored. Conversely, I can use this method to hide a Panel.

  • Optical correction completely disappeared from the develop Module function

    The lens correction feature brought missing in the develop Module.  He was missing until I upgraded to 5.6 and is still missing.  Previously, he was present, so I wonder if I did something to hide or remove?

    Right-click on one of the other titles, such as base etc, tone curve. Make sure that there is a check mark in the lens corrections. This is the way you control which develop features that you want to display on your system. Sometimes the features disappear mysteriously.

  • WEIRD! Can't see the settings I do them in the develop module, but they THEMSELVES... what gives?

    I use LR 5.7 completely up to date. All image previews are displayed in the library module, and when I move to the develop module, the selected image is displayed in the Central (to the magnifying glass) window as expected. BUT if I make any adjustments - that you use the presets or simply tweak individual sliders - the image disappears instantly and the central window becomes gray. Unknown yet, the adjustments ARE made and are listed in the history tab, and if I switch back to the library module, the adjustments are reflected in the preview. Of course, I should be able to see real-time adjustments I do them in the develop module, as I always have before.

    Anyone know why this is happening?

    After some research, I found the answer. It was a bad monitor profile. I had not updated my software to calibrate colors in a certain time. Created a new monitor profile and... Presto, problem solved!

  • Base Panel disappeared from the develop module.  5.7 Mac OS 10.10.1 LR control I tried clicking on the headers of panels that is always there.  Don't get a pop up list.  Can not find the way to restore.  What should I do?

  • the touchpad tab is missing from the control panel can be restored on vostor 1700 running xp

    To turn off the touchpad on my laptop Dell Vostro 1700 under XP, but the touchpad tab is missing when I opened the control panel mouse icon

    http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?DriverID=XV8FK

    This is your driver for the touchpad, it should be located in the dell folder, do a search on your pc for

    and check that you have the folder options to show hidden files and not to hide system files.

    Normally, it showed as icon in the control panel?

  • Additional tabs are missing from the display properties

    original title: display problems (broken display properties window)

    Well, I have a truckload of display problems, many of them are probably related, but I will address these one at a time. I'll start with my display properties.

    When I open the display properties, I get this little window:

    http://img.Photobucket.com/albums/V371/battousaiofnphiles/screencaps/BrokenControlpanel1.jpg

    Look at it carefully, it is supposed to look like this:

    http://img.Photobucket.com/albums/V371/battousaiofnphiles/screencaps/BrokenControlpanel2.jpg

    Now, whenever I start the computer I have to reinstall my display driver and reset my display properties. When you reset my 600x800px at 1440 x 900 screen, I have to select one click on the theme 'Apply' before I give myself the tabs to set different individual elements of the screen and click 'Apply' to effectively apply my desired settings.

    Now I have a Vid card for replacement in the mail which I think should solve the forced back on the display driver, but I'm confident that's not going to solve the problem of display properties broke.

    * EDIT *.
    I'm running on Windows XP Professional SP3.

    Original question is resolved. I open a prompt of commands and regsvr32 /i shell32 then restarted and enter regsvr32 themeui. My gfx card is always failing to start, but once started, the tabs are back where they belong.

  • All panels are missing in the develop module

    Can someone help me.  I've been using lightroom for a while.  So today for some reason, not only has disappeared from my base Panel but also any other Panel under the module development disappeared so I can't even right click on say, the "tone curve" or the "Correction of the objective '' to bring back the base Panel because each Panel is missing.  Can someone help me?  I uninstalled lightroom and reinstalled but still nothing.  I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    Develop, press Ctrl + 1 (Cmd + 1 on Mac) to the base Panel. Then right-click (Ctrl + click) to select others.

    Or use the window menu.

  • Stop and run option is missing from the Start Menu.

    Original title: Administrator group of experts.

    On the Admin Panel when I want to close I normally press start and the "closing". However the button turn off disappeared and only shows button "quit". In addition the 'run' button is gone as well. How to restore it back to normal?

    It will help with these situations... and, this lesson, I've added a few new commands to my answer of registry file generic copy/paste for these kinds of things:

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).
