Basic Controls Don't Function?

[harvey3111]

In the Develop Module of Lightroom CC, none of the basic sliders are working (e.g. contrast, exposure, whites, blacks, highlights, shadows, etc.).   The sliders are there and move right or left, but don't effect a change in the image.  Everything else works as usual.  Any ideas what I did to cause this?

Which version of Lightroom do you use? Lightroom Classic CC or Lightroom CC?

If you use the Classic CC version:

Have you install the latest version?

Have you tried to deactivate the GPU support?

Try to reset the Lightroom preferences?

Thanks for your response.  I just figured out the problem.  I needed to right click on the Tone Curve box and then add back the Basic Tools box.  Somehow it got unchecked from the drop down menu.

Glad you figured it out, but that's a little bit different than what you described. You first indicated that the sliders were there, and moved, but I had no effect. If you had indicated that they were not there it would have been an easy diagnosis.

The sliders I saw were the ones under the graduated filter which are the same ones in name only, but obviously not the ones that are in the basic tools box.  Sometimes it's hard to "see" what's not there.

Been there, done that.
