Lately, when tagging photos in the Library module, mysteriously and quite often, both side panels will black out, and all I am left with is the loupe image in the center of the screen. Nothing I do (ie. hitting tab etc) seems to bring back the panels. I check all View and Window settings and they seem to be fine. Finally, I'm forced to quit Lightroom and reopen in order to get the panels back. This will also happen in the Develop module etc.
Any ideas? It kind of makes the software unusable for me. Thanks in advance.
Hello Rextilleon!
Can you specify your Lightroom version, as well as your OS (Widows or Mac) and its version?
