Thank you!

[@atomictuna]

Hi - this video is great. Thanks! Since you asked, I was looking for - and did not find - a shortcut for using the brush tool and setting it to Dodge (lighten). I was working on eyes in headshots so I couldn't just copy and paste the same mask on every photo but I didn't like having to select brush, mark the eyes, then select in custom settings "Dodge (lighten)." Just seemed like too many steps. If there's a shortcut, please let us (me) know!

[@The_Daliban]

This is an absolute Timesaver, thank you! Do you by any chance know why my images look more saturated and have more contrast after export from Lightroom? I know it's because of the Color Space Lightroom is using (ProFoto) but how am i supposed to judge my image if it's totally different at the end:( any ideas? how do you tackle that issue? appreciate any ideas

[@SightseeingStan]

Glad it was helpful! It could be that you have to change the monitor profile. Control panel > Color management > add the sRGB profile and set as default.

[@nottoolost4230]

Thanks Buddy

Does this shortcuts also the same for Lightroom mobile with the external keyboard?

Is there a shortcut for a black and white edit?

[@SightseeingStan]

Shortcut is "V"

[@doommuffinz5276]

If P doesn't work to flag a photo as picked, try Z. I have an HP computer, maybe Stan has an Apple computer?

[@S.Mj_visuals]

The auto tune one isn’t working with me… any ideas why? 🙁

[@kenwichert]

@3:10 "Holy heck!"

[@SightseeingStan]

Yep! 😅

[@sergeykiselov8238]

Thank for "J"

[@shamaskhanewal5651]

Why bother with CMD, CTRL + U when all you have to do is press the Auto button on the basic editing sliders?

[@SightseeingStan]

If you're going through a lot of photos, I think the shortcut is faster 🙂

[@andersglantz980]

You did ask for a short cut that i cant live without. Caps Loc. Hitting Caps Loc when you mark pictures lik P and X or with color 5678..make ju jump to next. A really great funktion when you have to sort out pictures from a, let say wedding. If you need to do more, just Cap Loc off. Hope you understand my not native writing. Best.

[@SightseeingStan]

Yep that's also a good one! 👌
