25 Lightroom Keyboard Shortcuts That I Use All The Time To Save Me Time. Hi and welcome to Episode 130 of the Photography Explained podcast.

Here is the answery bit
Here are 25 Lightroom keyboard shortcuts that I use. I have listed these during an editing session – they are not produced from a Google search. Yes these are the ones that I actually use. And if you don’t use Lightroom don’t worry – whatever you use will have similar.

  1. P for pick – how I quickly choose photos to think about editing
  2. X for reject – a quick way to sort the rubbish out
  3. U to cancel flag – for when I change my mind
  4. D for develop – takes me straight to editing photos
  5. M for map – takes me straight to the excellent map module
  6. R for crop – takes me straight to the crop tool
  7. O for crop overlays – lets me scroll through the different crop overlays
  8. G for grid – takes me to the grid view in the library mode
  9. Control C – to copy stuff
  10. Control V – to paste the stuff that I have copied
  11. Shift Tab – quickly get rid of or bring back the side panels
  12. Control A – select all the photos
  13. Right arrow key – used on the sliders to give me fine control
  14. Left arrow key – the same but the other way
  15. Home – takes me to the first photo in a collection/ folder
  16. End – takes me to the last photo
  17. Page Up – many uses, including the spot removal tool
  18. Page Down – many uses, including the spot removal tool
  19. K new mask – takes me straight to a new mask
  20. Q spot removal – takes me straight to the spot removal tool
  21. W – white balance – takes me straight to the white balance tool
  22. Y before and after – a quick look at what I have done
  23. F full image – gives me the image on a full screen
  24. F2 – when I want to change a filename
  25. Space bar – zoom in/ out – dead handy
