Functionally, Lightroom may be a better post-production software besides PS software. It combines photo management and pre-processing, which is certainly not as in-depth as Photoshop, but for most photographers, LR's post-production ability is sufficient. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first. This tutorial will share seven practical LR color shortcuts for you, and I hope everyone can benefit from them ~

Common shortcut keys for Lightroom color matching:

1. Flag

Lightroom has two tabs, one for reservation and one for exclusion. The first step in publishing is to choose a natural photo. First of all, you have to take a bunch of photos and choose to publish them, and this national flag will come in handy. In the gallery view, we can press and hold the "X" mark on the image to exclude the flag, and press and hold the "P" mark on the image to keep the flag. When you need to publish, you can select "Keep" in the lower right corner of the filter, select all the kept photos at once, and then publish them uniformly.

Press the shortcut key "u" to delete the sign. With the extension, when you select the filter view, just press "Command (Ctrl)+L" to close the filter.

Filter view

Press "Ctrl" to select multiple photos for comparison, and then press "N" to enter the filter view. At this point, we can compare in the same screen and choose which logo to add. To return to the gallery view, just press the "g" key.

3. Quickly switch to the page where the photo is modified.

To switch between the gallery view and the modified photo view, we usually click TAB in the upper right corner. In the picture library view, press the shortcut key "d" to immediately switch to the page where the photo is modified. To return to the gallery view, just press the shortcut key "g".

4. Numeric keys

The number keys in Lightroom are great. You can use 0-5 as an asterisk and 6-9 as a color, which is very helpful for sorting out photos and looking for photos later. Look at the stars and you will know the importance of photos.

5. Compare the photos before and after modification

Sometimes after a photo is repaired, you will forget what the original photo looks like. Click ""and you will see the original picture immediately. Of course, you can also keep pressing to keep the contrast.

Turn off the background light

When you need to focus on the picture, you can press the shortcut key "L", press 1 time to make the background light fade out, press twice to turn off the background light, and press three times to resume, and every three times is a cycle.

7. Full screen

When you need to view the photos in full screen, press the "F" key to display them in full screen immediately, and then press Restore again.
