Have been using Lightroom for many years but found the video really useful in extending my knowledge of shortcuts. Thanks for putting it together. Anything that makes life easier has got to be good!!

Completely agree - got to make life easy on yourself. I'm glad you found it useful and thanks for watching.
Use CAPS lock and when you give it a rating it automically moves to the next one without having to press any other keys. Because I delete a lot of photos (I try to so I don't fill my storage too fast) I just push 'x' to reject as I review them. Then through the Photo menu or CRTL backspace in the grid module you can delete them all in one go. It also gives me time to take a second look at any I'm undecided over.🙂

Just what I needed. I ran your video on one device and used LRC on the other.

One other way to do this is the shortcut e . This puts you into library (single image grid) mode and there are buttons to rotate the photo there.

I have been using LR for a bit now and this video was extremely helpful! You also have such a calming presence in your videos as well. You are a great teacher and have become one of my favorite channels! Cheers and thank you from Massachusetts!

Excellent video - really helpful, especially the shortcut only options. As a follow up would be good to see your pre edit selection process e.g your filing system, back up process do you keyword etc. Keep up the great videos 👍

Thanks Andrew, I'll add that one to the list for the future some time. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.
Just started watching, seems very useful. Going to watch again and follow along later. Thinking it might be really useful to have as a poster. @Walks would you give permission to adapt this into a poster / cheatsheet ? I'd reference the video if I did it.

Hi Barney. I did consider putting together a download, but I didn't think many people would be interested. Perhaps I was wrong. Thanks for asking, but you don't need my permission - these are Adobe's shortcuts, not mine. Glad it's useful. Thanks for watching.

No, not really. There are a few bits in there that are mine, like E for Expanded view rather than Loupe view, as Adobe calls it. But I'm not going to try to claim any legal rights over that 😃
I wish full screen mode wasn't so laggy when pressing right and left. The almost-full-screen shift-f mode isn't quite so bad.

I agree. Some of these things seem to use too much processing power transitioning from one view to another. I don't care about whether the application has smooth fade as you change view, I care about it working fast.

@@WalksOnTheWildSide Exactly. I think I remember we had computer techniques like double-buffering in the 80s. I can't see why Adobe shouldn't be able to make lightroom change picture so quickly that it feels instant when you press the button. Camera makers have managed it with much worse hardware, although I realise they don't show the pictures in such high res.

To be fair, computers shoulder some of the blame. Typically if you're going to watch TV on a monitor it's going to be at 25 or c.30 frames per sec. But where you're using something like LR, which is fairly static, the computer might slow it down to something like 15 fps. There are things you can do to improve this, but you can never get rid of the variable frame rate entirely. This also makes it a nightmare when capturing these screen recording videos.

@@WalksOnTheWildSide I have just found that going right and left in the loupe in lights-out-mode is much faster than full screen. Full screen it seems to take like 400ms after I press the key. In lights out mode its more like 100ms.
Mir ist leider Adobe Lr zu langsam und braucht zu Spiel Speicherplatz, deshalb benutze ich lieber ACR.

Hallo Winfried. ACR hat auch viele Shortcuts, aber sie unterscheiden sich meistens von denen in Lightroom. Aber es lohnt sich herauszufinden, was sie sind, wenn ACR Ihr Hauptredakteur ist.
