Note ...doesn't advance with Caps Lock on in develop but does auto advance with cap locks OFF just like in library module. Did Adobe fix this or am I missing something?

[@CWReace]

FYI: I just played around with the Auto-Advance option, and the takeaway is that Shift-KEY does the opposite (in terms of advancing) of whatever you have configured for the auto-advance option. I.e., if you have auto-advance on, then shift-KEY will _not_ advance; or if auto-advance is turned off, shift-KEY _will_ advance. So, when you turn on CAPS-LOCK, it essentially toggles the auto-advance setting to the opposite of whichever you have configured -- it's the same as holding the shift key down with any of those flagging option keys.

[@cindy-louvalentine9801]

Just happened upon this video and oh yes..these tips are great...going to try them out right now!

[@davidsavell5398]

Hi...you can also double click on the shadows,highlights,contrast etc..

[@mohanapte]

The portrait soften skin tip is sheer genius! Thanks.

[@J5388T]

Interesting tip re auto black and white points, thanks!

[@sb1493]

I always pick up additional useful tips when watching your videos. Thank you.

[@indrajitadvani3742]

Really appreciate these tips. So simple but so effective

[@ariesoh77]

This is so great! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Anthony: Always something to learn or be reminded of with using Lightroom. Thanks for creating this very useful video. Cheers, Keith

[@keithreid4032]

Thanks so much. Your videos are so helpful.

[@rongeffin5323]

Always something to learn -- thanks Anthony

[@thelberg62]

I've been using LR for years, and there is still some pretty neat shortcuts to learn. Thank you for sharing, Anthony 🙂

[@stefanospapadopoulos3164]

Always something useful! Thank you so much! Greetings from Greece!

[@ktjankabar]

We’ll I watch your videos and still didn’t know some of these so thanks for reinforcing!!

[@longboardfella5306]

Portrait brush tune up is great thanks for the tips

[@hVF8KZuQPeCc8u]

Thanks for this. I forgot about the tip of enlarging the brush to slightly bigger than the object you wish to mask and click (with auto mask selected). Great tip and thanks for reminding me.

[@patricklilja6503]

I think I know LR pretty well. But… I’m stunned how you keep coming with things I didn’t know at all. Many thanx Anthony!

[@maircraft4079]

Picked up a couple new ones here. Thanks!

[@garyleavens8661]

I counted at least 3 bonus tips! Very helpful, thanks!

[@ColdCoffeePhotography]

Great stuff thanks!

[@michaelschmitt5413]

Excellent !!! Thanks

[@howardrankin7119]

Excellent practical tips

[@MrObie107]

Great tips Thanks

[@garryhughes3747]

Thank you!

[@BurhanMuntasser]

Excellent!!!

[@jeffb1886]

I'm a long time but only occasional user of LR (like whenever I come back from a vacation trip with pix to process). I didn't know most of these!!! Wow!!!....thanks!!!

[@MikeK-NIreland]

Great tips Anthony, you're a Star. Mick, Northern Ireland 👍👌🍻

[@candaceollis1102]

The skin smoothing tip is going to cut down so much on my editing time! Thank you.

[@warrengh5647]

Just when you think you know everything along comes Anthony Morganti to educate you 🤦🏼‍♂. Thank you again.

[@scomart]

Ah, I needed the auto-advance caps lock tip. Thanks!

[@SidneyPratt]

Thanks.

[@mdturnerinoz]

Thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you Martin!

[@allanglazer498]

Spot removal- on my Macbook pro- option +cmd key gives me a large cross that prevents me from seeing the spots though I am able to resize the brush circle. Can I get the large cross to go away?

[@dougtunison]

The tip on auto-advance was worth a million$ to me

[@tinplater]

Thanks Tony, however Caps Lock on in Develop LRC doesn't auto advance??

[@mxb5346]

Mr. Morganti How do you get your camera shooting info on your photo files ? I tried to use Metadata to no success. This info would help a beginner photographer see the differences in Aperture and Shutter speed shooting a similar scene. Maybe a tutorial ?

[@alfredo19560]

Try to press the "i" button !

[@taramugane4092]

🤯

[@Amitp0303]

Hello Sir, I have issue with Lightroom v 9.2.1. suddenly not importing and read NEF file from my Nikon Zfc. Please help. also to recommend any other Photography software similar to Lightroom It can be Free or One time buy. I can't send money on Lightroom on monthly basis. Thank you

[@Adrian_Finn]

Anyone else think the little cloudpuff animation you see when you delete something seems so out of place in such a swish interface as Lightroom? just seems like something they used temporarily to signify a delete but never bothered to change it. Don't ask me what I think would look better, but there must be something.

[@MishaG9]

Anthony, just a small question. I'm not an english native speaker, but it seems to me that "I wish I knew" is for wishing to know something that you still don't know and hope to know some day, no? Maybe you meant "I wish I had known earlier" that is years ago or when you were beginning to learn something. Anyway, that's what I learned in school, it could be wrong.

[@longboardfella5306]

You are quite correct

[@madhumenon]

It's just terrible UI design (at 9:50) from Adobe that the amount slider for the adjustment brushes is hidden away till you collapse the effects label. Atrocious.

[@AdmiringIntrovert]

WTF... Those are crazy good tips... 🥹

[@NoraZ-HUN]

Thank you!

[@dianealms2007]

Thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you Diane!
