Photoshop Lightroom Tip: Keyboard Shortcuts

Just wanted to share this handy Photoshop Lightroom tip I came across while playing around in the menu bar. This one goes out to all you keyboard shortcut freaks out there. You know who your are (command or control+a)!

If you press command and forward slash (control + / on a PC) while in PS Lightroom, a menu pops up with a list of keyboard shortcuts. It can also be found up in the menu bar under “Help-(currently selected module) Shortcuts.” Cool huh? There is a different list of shortcuts depending on which of the five modules is currently active. To get the shortcut list to go away, simply click on the shortcut window to make it go away. Why even mention this? To save you the time of looking for the “close window” icon that doesn’t exist!

PS Lightroom doesn’t really give you an easy way to print out these cheat sheets if you wanted to do so. One way around this on a Mac is to do a screen capture (shift+command+4) of each shortcut list and combine them in Photoshop to fit on a single 8.5 x 11 page. Now you have a PS Lightroom keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet taped next to your monitor to refer to until you have them all memorized. Ok maybe not all of them but your most frequently used ones at least.

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
