There are many other great Lightroom shortcuts. However, if you have time you should click over to the tutorial we have on snapshots. One of my absolute favorites is "N" for snapshots, but I don't want to get into what snapshots are in this post. These are not all my favorite Lightroom shortcuts. Then to bring back the "lights" back just click "L" one more time. The following image illustrates "lights out." Remember, one "L" click darkens. This develop module shortcut allows you to do that. When you are trying to really focus on the image and make decisions about it, it helps to get rid of everything else so the picture is all you see. Click it again to make everything except the image go all black.
L - Black Out the BackgroundĬlick the "L" key to turn the "lights out" and darken everything on the screen except the image. This gives you more space to work on your picture, which is especially helpful if you're working on a 13" or 15" laptop and space is limited. For instance if your image is horizontal (landscape orientation), you can change it to vertical (portrait orientation) with the click of a key! You can see an example of changing the crop orientation below.Ĭlick the 'tab' key to close the side panels close. While you have the crop tool selected, click "X" to change the crop orientation. While in the crop tool, you can press the cmd/ctrl key and drag a line along a horizon (or another area that should be straight) to help straighten the image. Once inside the crop tool you can crop as normal. R - Crop ToolĬlick the "R" key to activate the Lightroom Crop Tool. Tap the "K" key to open the Lightroom Adjustment Brush tool and then tap it again to close the tool! 6. Since I am constantly using my brushes while developing my photos, this shortcut is super helpful. Cmd/Ctrl + will zoom you in and Cmd/Ctrl - will quickly zoom you out! 5. Using Cmd/Ctrl + or - will allow you to quickly zoom in and out of your photo. Cmd/Ctrl (+ or -) - Zoom In or Zoom OutĪnother action that I find myself doing ALL THE TIME is zooming in to check sharpness. Tapping "P" for pick will give your photo a flag and then you can filter your filmstrip so that you only see your favorite images when editing the session. Just tap the "Y" key to see your photo in Before/After mode and then tap the "Y" key to get out of the mode as well.Ī super quick shortcut for picking favorites from a session is the "P" key. Seeing the Before/After view is super helpful for this. For example, if you are using a tool, like brushes or spot removal you can get a comparison while you are using the tool.
I use this feature all the time to make sure that I am heading in the right direction with an edit. Type the "D" key to quickly get to the Develop Module! BONUS: Type "G" for Grid to get back to the Library Module.
