![]() “Tab” = Display or hide the two side panels, AKA tabs, while leaving the bottom filmstrip visible (See below).“+” (actually, the “=” key) = Make images larger in Grid Mode.“-” (minus sign) = Make images smaller in Grid Mode of the Library Module.Lightroom Library View Options (CTRL/CMD+J) Lightroom Viewing Hotkeys/Shortcutsīefore we begin our workflow of sorting and editing our images, there are a few more useful hotkeys/shortcuts that can help you display your images exactly the way you want: “CMD/CTRL+J” = Open the settings for information display, including the Library Module Grid Mode, Loupe Mode, and the Develop Module.“J” = Display, cycle through, and hide custom image information in the Grid (Library) module.“I” (i) = display, cycle through, and hide custom image info in the Loupe.This panel also displays information for some tools such as the burning/dodging brushes and Spot Removal / Retouching brush. “T” = display or hide the Sort order panel beneath images in the Loupe (Library) and Develop Module.“\” (the backslash key) = Display or hide the main filter panel, available in Grid Mode of the Library Module only.In both the Library Module and the Develop Module, there are a few hotkeys that show, cycle through and hide various additional information that you might want to see, such as the filters panel, and EXIF information for individual images: “O” (the letter, not the number) = People (Lightroom’s Face-ID system).“N” = Survey Mode, in the Library Module.“C” = Compare Mode, in the Library Module.“E” = Loupe Mode (Part of the Library Module).“G” = Gride Mode (Part of the Library Module).So that you don’t feel overwhelmed, we’ve used BOLD for the only three that we use very often! Start by memorizing these, and then just remember that if you need to know more, you can always go into the Library Module and see the hotkeys by hitting the “View” main menu tab.Īlso, remember that the main window menu (the top level) has drop-down menus that have all available hotkeys listed for you! You can always refer to this as a last resort to see if a function or tool you use often has its own hotkey… Lightroom shortcuts are also usually listed next to their menu item! Some of the most common lightroom shortcuts for Mac & PCs are going to be the simplest, the ones that help you switch between the different Lightroom Modules. In this article, we’ll list all of the most important keyboard shortcuts that you need to know to get started, organized as you would use them during your start-to-finish workflow. In fact, without keyboard shortcuts, you’re really missing out!įortunately, with just a few key (no pun intended?) Lightroom shortcuts for Mac & PC that are relatively easy to remember, you can be flying through your workflow in no time. ![]() ![]() However, a whole lot of Lightroom’s speed comes from the use of hotkeys, or keyboard shortcuts for Mac & PC. You can use it to organize your photos, and not just keep track of where they are on your computer, but sort the keepers from the rejects, rate them, and many other things! Lightroom can be an extremely powerful workflow tool for color-correction, and so much more. PS: If you’re in to landscape photography, over on my personal blog yesterday, I posted a Story and some photos behind my trip in to Oneonta Gorge (just outside of Portland, Oregon) yesterday.Home » Blog » Lightroom Tutorials » The Best Lightroom Keyboard Shortcuts Here’s the link to the website if you want to check it out. You could even take a screen capture of it and print it out if you wanted a more visual reference while you had Lightroom open. It’s web-based so you don’t have to install anything on your computer. ![]() Heck, I even learned a keyboard shortcut I didn’t know while doing it.Īnother feature I stumbled on while trying to take a screen capture is that if you press a modifier key (like Command, Control, Shift, etc…), the keyboard automatically changes to show you what keys do with that modifier key selected. I typed in the word “Pick” and it came up with any place the word “pick” was used as a shortcut in Lightroom. Plus, it even has a Search feature at the bottom which works really well. Basically, you can load up any module in Lightroom, set your keyboard style (Mac, PC), and it’ll show you exactly what keys are used for each feature. I have to say it’s pretty cool as a learning tool. Over on GitHub (a popular place for sharing code, and projects), just posted a web-based Lightroom Shortcut app.
