Yes, the before and after variations are immensely helpful. Quick question though, how do I turn lights out on with a black background? Even when I change it to black, when I turn the lights out it goes back to white...
One thing about the brush tool: while the bracket keys are needed to adjust brush size in Photoshop, if your mouse has a scroll wheel, it works great to adjust brush size in Lightroom. So much faster than the brackets. I wish Photoshop would enable that.
Instead of using Undo (Ctrl Z) and Redo (Ctrl Y), you can open the History in the left panel and hover over a particular step. It will instantly show you what the image looked like after that action was taken. If you click on it, it will take you back to that action in your editing. You can click any step at all, then click back on the most recent one and return to your editing. However, if you click on an earlier action (let's say 10 steps before) and then make a new edit, then the 9 steps that came after that one will be gone. LR is very powerful! And convenient! Keep on making great videos!
A refreshing reminder to use some of the shortcuts I had forgotten and the new-to-me Z and specific colour picker. Made a quick list so that I can get into a routine for using most of the ones I had forgotten. Great start to 2023. Thank you.
Even though I'm using Capture One I've been watching these Lightroom videos. One reason is that I can adapt some things but the main reason is that, along with other photographers Lightroom/Photoshop videos, I've become convinced that they are just more versatile with more and easier ways to manipulate images. I'm currently waiting for parts to arrive to build a custom editing computer. When it's up and running I intend on subscribing to Lightroom/Photoshop to compare it to Capture One on my current computer. Thanks Mark for all the work you put in to help all of us out here floundering around trying to improve.
WOW, WOW and WOW. Your tip at 6:12 in the video of shift > double clicking the basic settings is amazing. Everyone must try this. My advice is to simply start at the top (exposure) and work your way down to blacks. You must do them all because one Lightroom double click adjustment is dependant on all the others. Double clicking exposure might not make sense until you do the same for highlights and whites and so on. I used to strictly do these adjustments locally with masks but when I went back to previously ("perfectly") edited images and let Lightroom do these global adjustments I got amazing juice and pop. Always needs some tweaking of course but very inspirational. And can be used at the beginning or the end of the work flow. P .S. Loved the way you described these adjustments as, "giving Lightroom the ability to go ahead and make what it feels is the necessary change." AI is here.
I've come back and watched this a couple more times now, because there's a lot in here. I've started using the Y (Before/After) and Solo Mode options. These have been really useful and I can't not use them now. I'm experimenting with the colour picker as well, I haven't mastered that just yet though, but I will, because I can see how much better that is than just trying the colours individually. It really made sense when you explained it. I wanted to come back and leave you a comment because I've been watching your videos for a while now, and they have been so useful and helped me improve my editing skills. I like how you are more about, "here's how you can do this thing, here's something you might like to try", not "you must do this with that type of photo". You've really helped me understand what I can do to improve my photos, as opposed to just admiring yours. I hope that makes sense.
Another fantastic video where I learned some new stuff! I forgot about the Y (before & after comparison), learned the Z (zoom), Shift Double Click (really cool - I knew double click to reset the slider but not this new one), L (for lights out), and J (for clipping indicator - I only knew about checking the boxes on the histogram for it). I love Ctrl Z for undo which I use often and I also use Ctrl Shift Z for redo. Thanks again Mark for another great video!
Mark, I follow your instructional videos more than the multitude of other pro photographers. They are easy to follow and we learn a ton. And, you have come out to my neck of the woods for workshops (Oregon, Washington, Montana). Please keep up this great work and a note to your sponsors - Mark's content is a great investment.
Loved this!!! I've been using Lightroom for a few years and honestly only knew a couple of these. Sincerely appreciate it. Solo Mode and Lights Out...awesome!!!
Thanks again, Mark! Another great learning/teaching video. Are you planning any trips to Acadia this year? I noticed the shot you used from the dodge and burn section of the video, looks like north and south bubbles….
i learned a lot of new ones! I use the L (lights out) shortcut the most when I crop/rotate. I find it really helps focus on the composition while cropping
I really enjoyed watching you video. I usually follow Matt K and Anthony Morganti, but I have added you to my list! You are easy to follow and you have a nice calming voice to enhance the listening process🙂. Anthony Morganti actually suggested you for Lightroom tips. I hope to engage in more editing tips for photoshop as well.
These tips are great. Thank you, Mark. This proves I need to read (and memorize) the shortcut keys in the manual. I especially like the Clipping Indicator (J) that you pointed out. For Highlight and Shadow adjustments, I had been holding down the Alt key (in Windows) to see the blacks and whites that are clipping as I adjust the sliders. But the Alt key doesn't let me see the image. Only a black screen for Highlights adjustment and white screen for Shadows adjustment. While holding the Alt Key, I can reduce or delete the blown out areas, but it doesn't let you see the actual image until you release the Alt key or take the mouse away from the slider. Using the J key is so much better. Again, thank you for that. You get a standing ovation just for that alone. 😃
Bro, thank you so much for this video. I'm a very experienced Lrc user and I had no clue about half of these things. Right off the bat, the solo mode is going to completely change how I use Lrc. I can't wait to try some of the others out as well. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Hi, Mark - great video. However, much faster than moving your hand and finding the correct square bracket key, you just add a second finger on your touchpad that you're already using, and then by sliding 2 fingers up or down you alter the size of the brush in either the masking mode or healing mode. Instantaneous and precise!
A good selection of the most important shortcuts in Lightroom - thanks. I didn't't know about double-click shift to get an idea of what Lightroom thinks are correct exposure settings - that's very useful for getting a "second opinion" on the direction you're taking an image! One thing I find useful, although it's not a keyboard shortcut, is to close the left-hand panel when I'm editing and have it pop open if I hover my mouse to the left of screen when I need it (which for me is pretty much only for the Navigator most of the time). I edit on a MacBook Pro a lot and this give me a bit more screen estate for my image, but it's not really necessary on large screens...
Pixel peeping is far more necessary today with AI enhancements where some software works great, others often 'fix' one area and screw up another, so you have to be diligent in your workflow to make sure every area of a photo is addressed properly before committing. Nice video!
Great set of tips, thanks, 3 more that I use daily are C for comparison mode where you can compare 2 images side by side, you can select several images, the most selected will be in one window and with the arrow keys you can cycle thru the candidates in the second window. The second is reference mode where one window is a reference image and the second window is your live edit image. The 3rd is what you can do with dual monitors, and that is a whole other video.
Wow thanks a lot! Super helpful. I always hit the auto box first to see what LRC thinks of overall exposure, to get a general idea of where to go wifh the image. Any thoughts on that?
I liked the Survey one, using the shortcut Key N, especially because I often I take several photos of the same scene, and this way I can easily see several on the screen at once for a quick comparison.
Mark, I always learn something from your videos, but this one is may be my fav of all time! I am going to make myself a cheat sheet of them so that I don’t forget them. I maybe only knew 3 before this video. From one pixel peeper to another….Thanks a bunch!!!
Great video, I often forget some of the shortcuts since I might go a month here and there without using lightroom. Getting lots of useful ones in one video where I could take notes was awesome. Very helpful!
Thanks for a really useful video. I've been working with Lightroom for a while but I didn't know about the Y, Z or N shortcuts and they are all great workflow shortcuts!. IA couple of my other favourites are to the use the F key to toggle your shot to full screen and back again. And right clicking on the background frame colour will change the colour of the background of your photo frame. Thanks again. I'm subscribed!
A very helpful film Mark, I’m very late to LR, I’ve been a PS only user for many years! Seems to me now LR has evolved into a far more complete solution than it was in the past. Thanks for sharing this! 👏👍😀 PS it always surprises me that many areas of trees and plants often contain far more yellows than greens, despite what my eyes tell me!
I really enjoyed this. I've seen some of them before, not all, but without using them a lot I forget them. Everytime I edit from now on, I'm going to keep a note card with me and use the shortcuts over and over. Thanks for the great hints.
Related to the black out key 'L' I use the 'F' key a lot to go to full screen. I hit F then step back and look at the image from a distance, as you mentioned.
Superb. Very helpful. I come across the shortcuts in different place. Putting the most used ones in one place is an excellent idea. I am sure there may ve more short-cuts. Will you be covering in a future episode?
Thanks for sharing. I use a couple of them on a daily basis. But a lot of the ones you shared I never new about and definitely will start using them. I think my favourite one would be the "lights out" I often stand back and hold my hands up over the side panels to get a better look. So this will be much better. 👍
When changing brush size you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse. The size change can happen while holding the left button down too. This is helpful when brushing the object which is changing size.either increasing or decreasing.
There are so many lightroom creators on RUclips.. You sir win! Love your content. It's not only informative, it's inspiring. I'm signing up on your website now. Thank you
This is a great help Mark! Lots of great info all in one video! I use a few of these already, but some like Lights Out and the Specific Color Picker (#3) are something I'm looking forward to using a bit more. Thanks as always Mark! Keep up the great work!
Mark, love your videos. How do you “turn off” an item like a mask or clone tool or crop tool. I know there is an easy way but the only way I know is to go back to the selected tool and click on it to close it out. I don’t know how to delete a mask in the little box when I add another mask. Like if I don’t like one mask when I have several masks open on one photo. Appreciate your help. Bill
Thank you!! One addition. In Develop when using O in some Crop cases you can use Shift O to see some more overlays as "subset" of the one already chosen.
Nice summary. I used to use Y & Z but had forgotten about these. Also I use F (full screen) instead of L and I use mouse wheel (on windows) to alter brush size. Also shift+mouse move lets you control zoom into the specific point where cursor is.
Knowing about the clipping indicator is extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to utilizing other tricks as well, such as selective color and lights out. Do these same shortcuts or tricks work in Camera Raw within Photoshop, or are they specific only to Lightroom?
Hi Mark, good video again, I actually use most of those shortcuts, but thanks for the ones I don't use. Just one thing though, I find the "alt" very useful when adjusting the White and Black points as it provides a grey image the you can distinctly see what effect its having. Your thoughts? Tom
Thanks for the informative tools and remind me to use Lightroom to it's fullest extent! I often forget about these really helpful tools. Great video Mark!!
Thanks for the great video In our cameraclub we use Lightroom to show our photo's and comment on them. I use "f" to go full screen. But: we missing always several lines off pixels on the bottom of the screen. This occurs many years now, do you if there is fix for it?
On Tip #1 you can just Option + Click on the tab bar and it will change how the tabs function (ie: turning solo mode on/off). Also Option clicking on the eyeball in the tab bar will change it to the on/off button.
Very helpful, I learnt a few things that I had no idea about as well refreshed some of the things I did. Thanks for this and you have a new subscriber.
Great tips Mark! I especially like the J and N and \ shortcuts. Instead of a brush to dodge & burn my subjects and backgrounds I often use the radial filter to make a shape with feathered edges a little bigger than my subject to highlight and brighten and adjust it and I invert that mask to slightly darker and lower the highlights in the backgrounds to accentuate the subject. I can also intersect that radial filter with the subject or background if I don't want it affecting anything else.
In answer to your question, did I learn anything? Yes, had forgotten about Z for zoom (#4). Didn’t know about shift click (#5). Didn't know about J (#7) - this will definitely be useful, thank you. Because my keyboard is in French, I have never been able to get #8 to work in LR (I live in Quebec). Have tried changing to an English keyboard when editing, but so far no joy. Every now and then I make a new attempt. One thing you might have mentioned in #2, about the Y key, is that when you are in this mode, you can drag the stage of editing you want to compare into the "before" window from the history panel, so Y before and after doesn't always have to be the very first, default version. I use this quite a bit, to check up as I go along.

🎮QUICK QUESTION: Was there at least a couple new ones you got out of this week's episode?
Love those, all of them 👍🏻 they helped me a great deal already.
Right now I look into PhotoLab Elite 6 by DxO and that looks really promising also.
@@ArminSteiner Awesome to hear!
Yes, the before and after variations are immensely helpful. Quick question though, how do I turn lights out on with a black background? Even when I change it to black, when I turn the lights out it goes back to white...
Solo Mode, shift double click, lights out (L) and (J)
For me, this was a great instructional video!! I am saving this one for future reference/learning. Thank you for all your do!
One thing about the brush tool: while the bracket keys are needed to adjust brush size in Photoshop, if your mouse has a scroll wheel, it works great to adjust brush size in Lightroom. So much faster than the brackets. I wish Photoshop would enable that.
Ahhh good call! I've been using only trackpads for years that I forgot all about the scrolly wheels.
@@MarkDenneyPhoto Also great for zooming.
For quick brush size changing on photoshop = hold Alt + right click, then move mouse left or right for size, or up and down to change softness.
@@blue_ranger thanks! I knew there had to be some way to do it. 👍🏿
@@MarkDenneyPhoto On the Magic Mouse, just use your finger to change Brush size.
Shift double click is going to be my new favorite. The solo mode is cool to.
I am now comfortable enough with LR to be able to understand an implement these 'tricks'. Thanks for the easy to understand tutorials.
Caught a couple shortcuts I didn't know about. Thank you!
I always pick up new tips from you. A few I didn't know here. Thank you!
Picked up a few helpful tips that I'll be using soon. Thx!

Just tuned in and the very first thing I noticed was that you cleaned up and organized your desktop wallpaper. My OCD thanks you immensely.

great refreshing reminder Mark.
Very helpful, Mark! Must watch again and take notes.
Awesome as always...thanks for sharing.
Probably the most useful tutorial I have seen. Many thanks
Thanks Mark...excellent reminder of some shortcuts and made me aware of those I am looking forward to include in my repertoire.
All great excellent information nicely presented!
Thanks Mark. Always good to get a refresher.
Another cool tip for the shortcut key (O) is to click Shift+O. This will rotate some of the overlays on your image (like the golden spiral).
Now THAT's one I didn't know!!! Thanks!
In the crop tool, a useful companion to O is H, which completely hides the overlay.
This is an outstanding video!!! Thank you for sharing.
Really good set of tips or reminders for Lightroom users.
Thanks Mark. Another great video from which I did learn something helpful. Thank you again.
what an informative video. I learned many new ones from this video!! Thanks for all you do!!
Very helpful tips, thanks alot ! :)
i love these tips. knowing how to speed up editing is incredibly powerful
Once again, Mark....Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredibly helpful - many thanks!❤

Can we have a list please some handy to use
Great. Thank you. To my big frustration, I learned 4 tricks that l did not know. I am becoming more humble and that’ s good ( only from time to time)
Brush shortcut... On a Windows PC the mouse scroll wheel increases/decreases the brush size. Shift scroll wheel changes the brush feather amount.
Thanks again, Mark! Another great learning/teaching video. Are you planning any trips to Acadia this year? I noticed the shot you used from the dodge and burn section of the video, looks like north and south bubbles….
i learned a lot of new ones! I use the L (lights out) shortcut the most when I crop/rotate. I find it really helps focus on the composition while cropping
Great tips Mark, all i need to do is remember them!
YES! Always the hardest part
Right? I think I'll make a cheat sheet and laminate it
I have been using most of those shortcuts for quite some time. But I did not know the (N) or the (\) shortcuts. Thank you Mark.
Thanks Mark! Editing is my nemesis. I feel like you’ve given me some battle gear. You’re the best, thank you for another helpful video.

So many great ideas here Mark, thanks a lot for compiling them all in one video!

When changing brush size you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse. The size change can happen while holding the left button down too. This is helpful when brushing the object which is changing size.either increasing or decreasing.
Also if you hold down shift, the mouse wheel changes feathering.
That was so so helpful!! Thank you for that. Would love to see any more shortcuts you have in another video.
Another very useful video. Instead of lights out I often use the F key. Lights out and fills the screen at the same time.
Thanks. I had forgotten a couple of these that are very helpful, so I'll try to remember them.

Knowing about the clipping indicator is extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to utilizing other tricks as well, such as selective color and lights out.
Do these same shortcuts or tricks work in Camera Raw within Photoshop, or are they specific only to Lightroom?
WOW ... thank you ❤️

Thanks for the informative tools and remind me to use Lightroom to it's fullest extent! I often forget about these really helpful tools. Great video Mark!!
More great tips thanks Mark. You even got a mention in a recent Phototripper video this week ☺
This was excellent. Do you have a written copy of this I can look at when doing some of these edits?
Thanks for the great video
In our cameraclub we use Lightroom to show our photo's and comment on them.
I use "f" to go full screen.
But: we missing always several lines off pixels on the bottom of the screen.
This occurs many years now, do you if there is fix for it?
Good work Mark! just curious if you sold prints prior to your youtube channel doing well?? thanks,
Forget about the tips: What killer photos are you taking mate. Superb.
On Tip #1 you can just Option + Click on the tab bar and it will change how the tabs function (ie: turning solo mode on/off). Also Option clicking on the eyeball in the tab bar will change it to the on/off button.
Thanks for summarizing all your LR shortcuts. There are certainly a few that I was not aware of. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful Robert!!
Very helpful, I learnt a few things that I had no idea about as well refreshed some of the things I did. Thanks for this and you have a new subscriber.
Your video are always so interesting. Thank you. I have a question regarding Capture One versus Lightroom: Which one you prefer to use and why?
Hands down the best LR tips video I’ve ever watched!
Thanks so much Mark!
Great tips Mark! I especially like the J and N and \ shortcuts. Instead of a brush to dodge & burn my subjects and backgrounds I often use the radial filter to make a shape with feathered edges a little bigger than my subject to highlight and brighten and adjust it and I invert that mask to slightly darker and lower the highlights in the backgrounds to accentuate the subject. I can also intersect that radial filter with the subject or background if I don't want it affecting anything else.
In answer to your question, did I learn anything?
Yes, had forgotten about Z for zoom (#4). Didn’t know about shift click (#5). Didn't know about J (#7) - this will definitely be useful, thank you.
Because my keyboard is in French, I have never been able to get #8 to work in LR (I live in Quebec). Have tried changing to an English keyboard when editing, but so far no joy. Every now and then I make a new attempt.
One thing you might have mentioned in #2, about the Y key, is that when you are in this mode, you can drag the stage of editing you want to compare into the "before" window from the history panel, so Y before and after doesn't always have to be the very first, default version. I use this quite a bit, to check up as I go along.
