Found the photographers plan and switched to it. Thanks for your help.
Does 11.4.1 have various photography modes as Lightroom classic always had, at the bottom right, such as landscape or portrait, etc. I don’t see them now.
You can find all that sort of thing and MUCH more in the right hand column of the Develop module. You can crop, straighten, set the aspect ratio to anything custom or preset, fix the horizon angle, clone, heal, remove red eye or pet eye, work with masks, set, modify or create camera profiles, choose, set, or adjust white balance, adjust exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, texture, clarity, dehaze, add vibrance or adjust saturation, work with curves, work with HSL values, perform video-style color grading, sharpen and reduce noise, apply lens corrections, transform geometry, perform vignetting or correct it, add film grain effects, and a lot more.
Lightroom Classic is the hub of a professional photographer's digital workflow. It is totally non-destructive for all file types. You work on PROXIES — view-only representations of the changes you are making. When you export, print, make a book, display a slide show, or post images to the Web, LrC applies your changes to a new file at that time. Your originals remain where you put them, and LrC stores only a link and a lot of metadata about each file. That data is in the LrC catalog and can also be in a sidecar file.
There is a HUGE amount of power there. You just have to learn where all the controls are, and how they work. Some education and training will go a long way, and you can find thousands of hours of it all online.
