Your first image is from Adobe Camera Raw and the second is from Adobe Photoshop.

What is the file format you are using? If you are shooting raw from your camera, the images will open in ACR automatically. You can use Bridge to open some formats.

You can also apply a camera raw filter to a layer from within Photoshop.

Tell us more about your workflow so we can target our answer.

Also, instead of using your phone to take picture, here's how to take a proper screenshot :

Erm.. i want to say DCIM but not sure haha, i took the photo with my android phone and started editing it in photoshop. I was using the edit side bar with the geometric, optics, light, exposure etc.. tabs (similar to the camera raw/ first picture) but when i went back onto photoshop it had changed and not sure how to get it back.. sorry i'm not very helpful only just starting out and trying to find my way around it all 🤦🏼‍:male_sign:

He didn't answer your question rather, he critiqued you... (eye roll)  Window tab dropdown...All the ones on your sidebar are checked... Recheck the one you want to show up.

Go into the Window tab on the right side... Not the one on the screen....There's a list of menu that you can add to the drop downs... The ones that show are checked!
