Re: a tiny LR discovery
Mark, Thanks, that is useful information. I've used those 4 programs over the past ~15+ years, but had not known it. I must be slow. ;-) Igor Mark Roberts Fri, 11 Nov 2016 10:41:19 -0800 wrote: Igor PDML-StR wrote: After having been working with LR for many years, I keep discovering certain functionalities in it.

Re: a tiny LR discovery
It turn out to be extremely useful for me. Thumbs up, Igor!

Re: a tiny LR discovery
Thank you, Alastair, that's a useful link. There used to be "templates" for the keyboards for (IIRC) MS-Word, AutoCAD, WordPerfect (remember that? ;-) ). Not that I used them, but looking once or twice at them was useful to pick some helpful shortcuts. Ctrl-/ -- that's an "easter egg"! Thanks for that! Actually, that list for the Library module seems to be missing one shortcut that I like using: Ctrl-Shift-F. Googling shortcuts, I've found this "official" table from Adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/keyboard-shortcuts.html And also, this website has PDF summary of the shortcuts (for each Windows and Mac separately): http://www.lightroomqueen.com/keyboard-shortcuts/lr5/ James: Yes, I have been aware of Alt-sliders for a few years. Actually someone on this list had mentioned it to me - for sharpening radius, and then I figured out that it works wonders for a few other sliders.

a tiny LR discovery
After having been working with LR for many years, I keep discovering certain functionalities in it. Today I discovered that when you are resizing a photo, pressing Alt while grabbing a corner of the image will resize proportionally in ALL 4 directions. (If I remember correctly,"Option" is the equivalent of "Alt" key on Mac.) Probably many people knew that, - but if you didn't, - it could be useful. In general, this makes me thinking how many other "hidden" capabilities are there in LR that I will never discover ;-) Igor -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
