Stop struggling with Lightroom! There's no need to spend hours hunting for the answers to your Lightroom Classic questions. All the information you need is in Adobe Lightroom Classic - The Missing FAQ!
Well, well, to manually reset the sliders / settings one by one seems to be quit enconvenient, I would think. And how should one know how the sliders / option were set before?
Think about it: clicking on a preset applies it. How would you use the arrow keys to navigate through them without clicking on one of them first? How is Lightroom otherwise supposed to know where to start? That is exactly the difference between hovering and clicking. Hovering only shows a preview as long as the cursor is right above the preset. You would have to move the cursor with the arrow keys, but that is a function of the OS, not of Lightroom.
May be it depends on how the program is coded.No, you can't navigate through presets using the arrow keys, because that would effectively mean that you'd apply all of them!
Unfortunately I do not have any idea of anything / programming but I would suppose one could easily make it work like that. Similar / the same works in other programs as well, so why shouldn' t it work in LR?
E.g. just hovering the pointer over it then use an arrow key? Or clicking a special area of the preset name? Or near to it? Or...?
Because of the difference between clicking and hovering. These other programs probably don't make that difference. Like I said: it would be easy to select a preset and then go through the others with the arrow keys. But that would apply all the presets, so that does not make sense. I don't think I know any program that allows hovering, and then consequently moving the cursor with the arrow keys.
Correct. Remember that Lightroom is not Photoshop. You do not change pixels, so you can undo and redo sliders as often as you want. I agree that it is inconvenient that you cannot remove an in-between step via the history. In fact, that would make the history panel in Lightroom kind of useful, because right now I don't think it's very useful at all. Maybe you want to go to Photoshop Family Customer Community to file a feature request for it. Maybe somebody else did already, so you can add your vote.
Why not code it the way it would do it not like that?
Hovering or clicking and then move or else, it is a common function I would say, many / almost all programs do it I would think, e.g Photomatrix.
Yes, why not? I would think there are some or many ways how one could do it. Just hold STRG and ARROW or SHIFT and ARROW...
Yes, such should be easily to code, I would think. Would think it is a basic function which may not be missing.
No, no, thank you for the link.
Because clicking is the way to apply the preset and it makes sense to have a way to actually apply a preset, don’t you think?
You know how they were set before because if you simply go one step back in the history panel. Thats wh yit is a history panel because you can go back every step in the correct order and if you would be able to mess around with the order it would not be a history panel anymore. I thin it makes perfectly sense once you get used to this way of working
Yes, yes, indeed. But why not apply by clicking while pressing an addionally (or more than one) key? Or without that key? And appying with key?
Yes, yes, of course, do it as you like it. Do not feel forced going on with this fruity discussion.
Yes, the same with my wife, absolutely true words.
Actually, I would think - among other things - that might not cause that big changes or small ones.
Yes, that would be great ( at that moment I realise LR doesn't have such layers obviously), but I am absolutely not able to use such a comprehensive programm and I have a slow computer.
No no, I have to say thanks for your help!
The value they would have without using the preset, I would say.
