Lightroom for iPad 11.5.30. My trial is expired, but all basic editing controls such as Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks are greyed out, even for screenshots/JPEG images opened directly from Device.

I have already restarted the iPad, deleted and reinstalled Lightroom completely, and tested multiple Adobe accounts. The issue persists.

Adobe documentation states that basic editing should remain available in the free version after a trial expires.

The app shows “Trial expired” / “Subscription expired” and does not allow basic editing.
