What is your FAVOURITE Lightroom tip?

[Victoria Bampton]

Go on, we've all got them!

If you could only share one LR tip which you find useful or clever, that isn't the most obvious thing under sun, what would it be?

My favourite is the number of different ways you can sync develop settings while in Develop mode, particularly when you combine AutoSync and Previous. More information here.

So what's yours....?

I love the one Matt K. posted today at Lightroom Killer tips.com (and which I've heard elsewhere, but can't remember where): Go into Lights Out mode (press L a couple of times) when cropping to get a better sense of the crop. You can adjust the crop interactively against the black background. Very nice.

Anita,

I have heard it first from Scot Kelby's "The 1' coolest tricks in LR" article, published in one of his magazines, Photoshop User.
Cheers,

Well, Scott, Matt, Dave, RC and the Laddie are always 'stealing' from each other.

Not to mention that Matt's recent Watermark video is remarkably similar to my one from the end of July!

Of course you can also Watermark using the copyright symbol in a Text ID plate, but having drop shadow etc, is cooler.

Sean,

I am not interested in Matt's video, but I am truly interested in yours.
Where can we watch it?
Regards,

Thanks, Don!
I was being lazy, of course, so one more reason to thank you!

Didn't see the post until now Clicio, or I'd have respondede myself. I was ribbing Matt about it, but he didn't actually see the original video.

and another one -

'Shift + Enter' to play a slide show

Correction, Ctl-Enter starts the slideshow.

Shift+Number Keys - to rate and move on
Shift+X to Reject and Move on

Such superb time savers!

A variation is to just set Caps Lock On
