ALSO, holding down option on a mac will produce the Negative brush to reverse the brush actions produced in develop… love that. Almost like black and white brush in masking.

This is the official list of all Adobe Lightroom Shortcuts. Are there any you don’t find here?

I just found what I was looking for. In develop mode, the comma and period keys cycle through the basic settings so you can use the left/right bracket key to adjust the value.

Are there any shortcuts to for any quick develop settings in Library mode? I want to be able to use arrow keys to quickly move through a collection and adjust with keyboard only.

I accidently pressed the N key (german version – english is C). You all know the compare view to show multiple images at once and find out which one you want to be a keeper. If you only select one image at a time, you can use this mode to have a nice blend effect when you go through your images.

Andrea and Freddi,

Add ‘Shift’ and the ‘l’ toggles in the opposite direction. So ‘l’ goes to gray and ‘L’ will go back to normal. Shortcut for shortcuts! And +1 for LRKEYS

Rob… great shortcut. Didn’t know about that one at all! Oh yeah, Matt, you give out some useful info too

Andrea, thanks for the hint about the color labels, it works perfectly.

For those of you with an IPhone, there is an app “LRKEYS” which uses multiple choice questions to reinforce shortcuts. It’s fun and only 99 cents.

One of my recent found shortcuts that is NOT in the listing is the one for setting keywords for the pics. It is Ctrl+k and brings you directly to the keyword input. It saves me much time, because I can stay on the keyboard while keywording. Never read it here…

I recently saw a Lightroom video and the developer talked about a cool keyboard shortcut that didn’t make it into the documentation:

When painting with the Adjustment Brush:
Lower case o: toggles visibility of the brush / the effect.
Capital O: toggle between showing the effect, showing the brush strokes in red, green, and some sort of brightness mode.

First press lower case o to show the brush, then capital O to change the visibility of the brush strokes.
