Lightroom Classic’s Hidden “Swipe Between Images” Feature

If you’re using Lightroom Classic on a Laptop (or you have a separate trackpad or even mouse with a scroll wheel) check this out — you can quickly scroll through your images by swiping with your finger right to left on your trackpad. See the 7-second quick video below (no audio).

Here’s where you turn it on:

You turn this feature on in Lightroom Classic’s Preferences; click on the Interface Tab, and the checkbox to turn this feature on/off is at the bottom of the window: “Swipe between images using mouse/trackpad.” (as seen above).

Hope you find that helpful.

Going to Adobe MAX next week?
I’m teaching a class on their Career Track called “How to Present Like a Pro” and I’d love it if you came by. This isn’t the same stuff you read about presenting on the Internet — I’ll be sharing concepts and ideas and tips and tools I haven’t seen shared by anyone anywhere. I promise — you’ll super-dig it. I’m teaching the class twice — once each day, and I already have over 1,100 people signed by,j so come by and spend an hour with me — I’ll make it worth your while.

Going to Photo Plus Expo in New York City?
If you want a free Expo Pass to the Photo Plus Expo in NYC later this month, I can hook you up. Use this link to get in the Expo for free (or you can get 15% off a conference pass using the same link), or you can even sign up for my “Advanced Lightroom Workshop” I’m teaching at the expo, too. Hope I see you at the show in NYC. https://l.feathr.co/PPE18_Scott-Kelby-O

Have a great weekend everybody. I’m off to LA on Sunday — hope to see you at Adobe MAX. 🙂

Best,

-Scott

    Hi. You may also find this very useful with your trackpad. I made an app for macOS that lets you do quick develop changes with simple gestures over the trackpad. It’s called AudioSwift.

    It works on my iMac with a Magic Mouse and on my MacBook Pro touch pad but lack finite control … when you swipe/scroll through, the smallest of movements results in swiping through quite a few images and doesn’t seem to be easy to fine tune … but it does work.

    FYI – Swipe between images works on my desktop using the trackwheel. However, there is no option to select it on-or-off in the preferences. Lightroom 7.5, Windows 7.

    Maybe Macintosh only?
