Hello
I am new to Lightroom and trying to get to grip with it however, it seems I have a major panel missing completely.
It is usually top right and has things like LIBRARY | DEVELOP | MAP | BOOK | PRINT etc. The area completely empty so I cannot reset by right clickin
Any idea how to reset them??
Thank You
Michael
Or is it possible that you have downloaded the NEW Lightroom CC that doesn't have any of those modules. Lightroom CC (the new one) is cloud based and looks completely different. You might be wanting to download Lightroom Classic CC.

Hi Michael,
Please right click on the menu where these panels should appear and click "Show all".
Which version of Lightroom are you using?
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Do you have the panels set to "auto-hide"? Please right click on the arrow shown in the screenshot below and set it to manual.
If that does not help, please post a screenshot of what your Lightroom UI looks like.

That's strange, it seems that the app preferences might be corrupt. Please restore Lightroom preferences to default. Check out this article for details: How to set Lightroom Classic CC preferences
Let us know how it goes.

Hello again,
That did nothing.
Tred to delete them manually but cannot find the com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7.plist in the /Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/.

Am I going Mad??

Yes, Lightroom Classic CC can do batch changes, and a lot of other things that Lightroom CC cannot do at this time. They are different programs designed for different types of users. You may have them both installed. In fact, I do have both of them installed on my computer. Lightroom Classic CC is my program of choice. I play with Lightroom CC a bit, but I haven't chosen to migrate my catalog to it and don't plan to do so. It has some good features. I would probably use it more if I was able to use mobile devices, but I'm not.

Hi.
Yes I had both installed and finally realised where I was going wrong.
Because I am not a photographer, i just love the presets on the Lightroom CC. Well, que sera sera...
Many thanks for your patience.

There is quite a selection of presets in Lightroom Classic CC as well. But I have never really been a fan of presets myself. I have a few that I have created that I use occasionally, but tend not to rely on presets very much. I know that many users rely on presets heavily. Personally, I don't really like them for most purposes.
