Great video from Benjamin Warde on how you reorder your panels in Lightroom Classic, and why you might want to in the first place. Great stuff (and all in less than 60-seconds). Check it out:
Thanks, Benjamin. 🙂
Hope you have a rockin’ Tuesday!

Thanks for all the great tips…
Thank you very much for the incredible information. Very relevant information. Especially for designers and IT.
Not a big deal….but i think it’s helpful to, for instance, move Lens Corrections to the bottom as that is handled on import for me. May be a minor speed-up…but the flexibility to move the panels is good.
I often use multiple lenses when I am shooting sports so the lens profiles are “mixed up” within the import from the flashcard. How do you handle having different lens profiles upon importing or once they are in Lightroom?
A long time ago, it was explained that the order of the panels is the order in which the Lightroom team determined was the best order for the tools to be used in post-processing (the implication is that even though you can use them in any order, this order was going to be the most optimal workflow). With this feature, I guess Adobe is abandoning that philosophy? It just seems strange to do this after years and years of telling us (directly and indirectly): here is our recommended order, follow it.
It is fine to have a recommended order, but it is not one size fits all. We all have the opportunity to create a workflow that suits our own needs, styles, vision, etc. and if swapping the order of a few panels helps someone, then great. If it doesn’t, great. It is nice to have choices even if our choice is to stick to the default.
