Lightroom 5

A strange thing has happened with Lightroom. I have V 5.2, but the Develop module has changed since I last used it. Where in Basic, it had shadows, highlights, blacks and whites, it has reverted somehow to how it looked in Lightroom 4, with Fill light and Recovery instead. Anyone any ideas what's happened? I'll contact Adobe I guess but meanwhile I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Edit: Just noticed that I have lost the noise and WB sliders on graduated filters and the adjustment brush too!

You need to update the files to "Current Process 2012", you should see a exclamation mark at bottom right hand corner of the image file in the "Develop Module".
Cheers

LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.

I've just solved it, but thought I'd leave the original post and add this in case anyone else comes across it and is as confused as I was. If you open a photo processed in an older version of Lightroom, it gives you the same Develop module as you used originally (in my case, Version 2010). If you click the little lightning bolt below the histogram, it allows you to use the new controls (update to Version 2012).

I am sure in LR4 Develop module - Basic mode had shadows, highlights, blacks and whites, However they have suddenly disappeared from LR5. I don't understand it or like it.

The Fill light and Recovery was standard in LR3. LR5 introduced PV2012 ( shadows, highlights, blacks and whites)

You can check ( or change ) the process version by scrolling down to the camera calibration section in the develop module and clicking on "process"
