What actually prompted this entry in the list however is one of the most confusing rules in Lightroom. Providing some more useful sample collections, updating some of the data fields to reflect newer features like Lightroom’s face detection, and just making the user interface more friendly could all go a long way to boosting this feature.
#LIGHTROOM VSCO KEYS PC HOW TO#
Once you see it, it’s not tricky, but in past workshops, two of the biggest stumbling blocks for students have been knowing what to ask and how to put it into the system. If you want to set up a Smart Collection showing raw images from the last year, with a three-star rating or higher, but an ISO of less than 3200, Lightroom makes it possible, but you have to know how to ask for it. However, if you’re not comfortable working with Boolean-esque logic, you might not be getting everything possible out of collections. Between the fact that I already have dozens of regular collections created and the functionality of Smart Collections, Lightroom goes a long way to making it easy to group photos quickly. One of the reasons why I’ve stuck with Lightroom after all this time is the Collections feature. Both of those are far inferior to Photoshop's implementation of keyboard and menu editing, however. If you're looking for a similar solution to these issues, you've got the aforementioned option of editing translated strings, although I think you could also create something in AutoHotKey that would also work.
To at least address the muscle memory issue, I’ve had to shift a bunch of my Photoshop shortcuts to more closely match Lightroom’s, although this is an imperfect option. Given how closely these two programs work together, it doesn’t make sense to throw out your muscle memory when jumping between them. When you jump back to Lightroom and need to tweak that crop, you’d expect it to still be C, right? Nope. In Photoshop, it’s the C key, as in Crop. Consider cropping, a fundamental tool for most edits. Want to remap a shortcut? You can dig into the “Translated Strings” text file, which is buried in the program files, and rewrite some of the strings yourself, but this isn’t exactly user-friendly or well supported.Įven more confusingly, the defaults between LR and PS don’t align. Lightroom, by contrast, supports none of these functions.
#LIGHTROOM VSCO KEYS PC PORTABLE#
Best of all, these settings can then be saved and reused via a small file, making them portable and easily backed up. The menus themselves can be customized via recoloring and hiding. Not only can you modify the keys used for all the menu options, but also the panels, tools, and even task spaces like Select and Mask. Photoshop’s support for remapping keyboard shortcuts is fantastic.
Furthermore, as much as I’d love to see support for more obscure features like astro-stacking, these are basic essentials.
#LIGHTROOM VSCO KEYS PC SOFTWARE#
What’s particularly surprising to me about the lack of these features is how commonplace they are in both other tools and Adobe’s own software tools.
