First time user...can't find "modules"

[LauraSageCBL]

Hi there,

I'm using Lightroom for the First Time, and am trying to utilize tutorials I'm finding online. But they all reference modules that should be sitting along the top of my window - things like "Develop" and "Library", and "Map", etc. I'm using Lightroom 4.4, and it appears to be the most up-to-date version.

What am I missing?

I'm needing to do a bulk "match total exposure" for a whole bunch of images.

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately you have become a victim of the naming confusion Adobe has created. There are two different versions of Lightroom. Lightroom Classic is the version that has the different modules you are referring to. It uses a local catalog and stores images locally on your computer hard drive. The Lightroom you are using is a more contemporary version that has fewer features and stores your images in the Adobe cloud.

Lovely. Is Lightroom Classic available as part of the Cloud account I have? Or is it only for mobile use or something?

Nevermind...I just found the separate app in my plan. Had no idea. Thank you.

You'll also discover that LR CC has no ability to print. 😒
