I’m appreciative when ever and ever how often you put out your videos! I know life can get in the way of things sometimes, it happens. As for as doing more videos of LR, that suits me just fine since that’s what I use the most often. So keep up what your doing and we look forward to the next video when ever it comes out❣️

This is very cool thanks Anthony. Being an West Aussie the first tool I invariably use is the Calibration tool down under before any other adjustments. Then Transform, Lens Corrections, before starting on Basics. Reorganising this way is improving my work flow in a way that I don't miss any steps. Thanks again😊

Anthony, you should do a video on keyboard shortcuts. You could even link to a downloadable cheat sheet of your own design. Related to today's video, for example (and I know you know these), is Shift + Tab to close or open all four panels. I use this often, followed by f8 to open only the right panel. Related, I use the "L" key (lights out) or "F" (full screen) to briefly hide the panels for a better look at my working image.

That's one cute puppy!

Hi Anthony, one customisation you missed is the Identity Plate, which you can personalise by right clicking where your name is at the left of the top panel. This enables you to change the font size and font colour of the top panel and also use a personalised logo if you have one.

Wow great info again!

[@andrewsartain3607]

That was very useful, thankyou

[@michaelmcphee2930]

Nice one thanks Anthony. A good review. I'll be placing the tools in the DEVELOP module in the order I use them. It seems more convenient to work down the line in the order that they are used.

I’d be really grateful if you can do a video on making Lightroom run faster and maybe how it’s decluttered..? I sometimes get the circle rotating for what seems like ages..! Anything on housekeeping would be appreciated….. good stuff as usual… cheers

Thanks!

Thanks for another great video. The bug with the left panel is not there on my windows 11 pc. When I hover over it, the panel opens temporarily.

I would love to see a configuration option for importing. I store my photos by date with folders nested by Month Year into Day of the Month. So for an entire month, I have to click through several layers in the directory until I get to the folder I'd like to import. I'd love to set a configuration so that at the beginning of a month, I could just set that month's folder as the default to import to. Certainly one of the most powerful aspects of Lightroom is its ability to manager files and find photos based on an amazing number of criteria. It really is a very sophisticated data base for your photographs. Making importing into the "Database" as easy and fast as possible would be a great benefit.

Anthony in the latest version 12.4 the left panel does reappear when when the mouse touches the edge on my 16 inch macbook Pro

Hi Anthony. The one customization I'd really love would be the ability to set up collapsible groups of folders in all presets, not just user presets. Currently when I open presets the list of built-in presets takes up the whole left side of my screen and cannot be collapsed. BTW, on my Mac running Monterey 12.6.7 and LR Classic v12.4, the bug you describe isn't present.

[@carlosquijano2827]

I would like to make similar changes in the masks menu.

anthony in the latest version 12.4 the left panel does reappear when bringing the mouse over to the edge on my 16 inch macbook pro

[@FoivosLoxias]

In Pc no problem with left panel in develop module. Also no need to restart after customization of right panel. v12.4

[@edwardkurek5355]

I tried right clicking on a panel in the develop module with no results. My app is up to date. What’s the problem?

[@MarkMicallef]

You forgot about the top panel, You can also eliminate Items there in the same manner. I only use "Library" and "Develop" Everything else (Map, Book, Slideshow, Print and Web) is removed.

[@kevins8575]

I'm sure that if I deleted a section from a panel, I would instantly forget about it, so if I ever needed it, it would be non-existent.

[@edwardkurek5355]

I apologize. I had to program my mouse. I thought it was a default.
