Before and After??

Question

Looking for help with the simple Before and After left/ right view. I am on the subscription plan and trying to use my desktop (Windows 10) and can't seem to find it after watching a few different tutorials and reading what has been posted here..

My issues seem to be that:

1. I can't find the "Develop" mode- is that something that is only in a certain version? My Adobe says my Lr is up to date? Am I using the web only version or something?

2. When I hit alt +y nothing happens

3. I don't even see the "Show Toolbar" in my View options

Should I uninstall and try again or am I possibly needing an update or something? My ultimate goal is to have the side-by-side Before and After mode showing.

Thanks!

@UpsideImageCO Lightroom and Lightroom-Classic are two entirely different software programs.

It sounds like you have installed the 'Cloud based' Lightroom.

The Modules (Develop, Print, etc), Before/After Compare, and Tool Bar, are all part of Lightroom-Classic, the 'Desktop based' version.

Lightroom-CLASSIC is only available with a subscription to the Photography Plan, and not the Lightroom Plan.
