No Reference Photo icon in toolbar of Develop Module.

[John Cicchine]

Lightroom Version Number

Lightroom Classic 9.3

Operating System

1. macOS 10.14 Mojave

I recently learned about using the reference photo view in Lightroom but I do not see an icon for the reference photo option in the Develop Module toolbar. Also I was able to go to the view mode after right clicking on a photo but the only way to exit the view mode is to quit Lightroom. Even if I do not have the icon showing can someone please explain ho to properly enter the reference view mode and then properly exit it? Thank You all for your help.

Press the T key John, it sounds like your toolbar might be hidden.

Hi Victoria. The Tool Bar is active.

Yes, tick 'View Modes' at the top.

To exit Reference Mode, I always just hit 'g' to go back to Grid view.
