While we’re on the topic of decluttering your view, going to Full Screen will clear everything but the photo and maximise the image size on your screen. Yet another press of L will take you right back to the standard Lights On mode. Lightroom is normally on Lights On mode, pressing L once will take it to Lights Dim mode, and pressing L once more takes it to Lights Out mode. Keep pressing L to rotate through the Lights Out mode view options. If the workspace within Lightroom feels too cluttered, the different Lights Out modes may help! Switch Between Lights Out Modes and Full Screen This helps to shave yet a few more seconds off your workflow by not having to advance to the next photo with the arrow keys or mouse. This tells Lightroom to immediately jump to the next photo of the set once you set a color or star rating to it. While you’re speeding up your culling, be sure to turn on Caps Lock. Pressing 0 will reset the star rating to none. Color ratings are applied with keys 6 through 9. Star ratings are applied with keys 1 through 5. Star ratings and color labels are all applied by number. Perhaps you want to separate each pose from a portrait session, or you want to group together each section of a wedding day. Using star ratings and colors can be helpful if you want to rate shots or classify photos into different groups.


If you want to flag a photo as rejected, however, you can press X and the flag will appear in black and with a small x in it. Rather than clicking on the flag icon, you can press P to quickly flag the photo that is currently selected. With the digital age of photography comes the freedom to shoot way more photos than we need! This means that culling (sorting) photos is more important than ever.Īs you sift through your images to select the ones to actually edit and use, one way to mark those selections is with a flag.
