How do I get entire Lightroom 4 Catalog to open?

Apr 26, 2012 6:10 AM

I get a "Blank" Ligthroom Catalog screen when I open LR4. I have to click on the wrd "Library" to get my photos to show up.  What can I do to get entire Catalog to open?

    Do you mean you are clicking on Library from the Module Picker (the bar across the top)? If so, what module are you in when you launch? Lightroom should launch showing you exactly what you were looking at when you last closed it. If it is not, you may need to recreate the application preferences to reset it back to default behavior.

    When LR$ opens it has all the panales showing but no folders or photos.  Yes, I click on "Library" on upper right of screen and everything shows up.

     

    Don't see where in Preferences you need to change to get back to having LR open with all my folders and photos.

    The opening page shows only the top line and the bottom film strip with no folders or images.  How can I get my folders and images to show up when I open LR4?

    Still trying to figure out what you are seeing. Can you post a screen shot of what Lightroom looks like when you first open it?

    So you have the screen shot saved as a JPEG file that is less than 2 MB is size (screen shots should be)?

     

    What happens when you try to load the file? Where does it fail? Error message?
