My tools have vanished ....I'm lost !

My open screen says: 1992-2024 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Adobe Creative Cloud

I've been using Lightroom for years, and now I cannot do any editing. The tools are no longer available (i.e., Not sure what they were called: the ellipse, circle, etc.) I can only use the sliders to affect the entire image...I can't do any spot editing on sections of the image. Perhaps I can reinstall the program (if so any help on doing this will be most appreciated)

Thank you,

Joe

So, What Adobe Subscription Plan have you subscribed to? The Photography Plan, or the Lightroom Plan (not recommended)

I have the following LR program:

Which program should I pursue?

"Lightroom-CLASSIC".

If you subscribed to the "Lightroom Plan", you need to change your Plan to the PHOTOGRAPHY PLAN (20GB)-

Your screen-clip indicates you have 'Lightroom' the cloud based app.

You need 'Lightroom-Classic' - totally different with its module menu and tools.

You also need to subscribe to the PHOTOGRAPHY PLAN (20GB) (Not the Lightroom Plan).

COMPARE LIGHTROOM & LIGHTROOM-CLASSIC FEATURES

Lightroom-Classic is at v13.3 - which is the 'latest' version of those 'old' legacy versions v1 - v6.

Sounds like you mean masking. The interface changed, so all these tools are now part of masking.
