Question

I cannot find the histogram in Lightroom Classic 26

The module ribbon doesn’t show in Lightroom Cl;assic 26 and I can’t find the histogram.  Pressing D for the develop mode doesn’t do anything.

    Thank you; but, none of these methods work.  I have Lightroom Plan with 1 TB.  It is supposed to include  Lightroom Classic.  Perhaps this version is the problem.  I just purchased it and it was the only version that included Lightroom Classic.

    Thanks

    Hi Sue, Lightroom Classic is currently at 16, not 26. Is that the one you meant? And is your issue definitely with Classic and not the cloud based (non-Classic) version? Can post a photo or screen grab of the Library module in Loupe (one image full screen) mode and in Develop mode - showing the whole screen. Then we will have a better idea of what’s happening.

    Hi SueinCT, the Histogram is at the top of the right-hand panel in the Develop module, so the first step is to bring the Module Picker and panels back. Please try these steps in order:

     

    1. Press Shift+Tab, or choose Window > Panels > Toggle All Panels. This shows or hides all panels, including the Module Picker.

    2. If the side panels are still hidden, press Tab, or choose Window > Panels > Toggle Side Panels.

    3. If you are in Full Screen And Hide Panels mode, press Shift+Tab and then press F, or press Ctrl+Alt+F on Windows / Command+Option+F on Mac to return to Normal screen mode.

     

    Then click Develop in the Module Picker at the top, and the Histogram should be at the top of the right-hand panel.

    Please let us know if the Module Picker comes back after step 1.
