Four Quick Tips for Maximizing Your Lightroom Screen Space
Let’s start this week off with some quick tips for getting more Lightroom on your screen (that’ll make more sense in a moment):
Above: here’s our standing view in Lightroom Classic with the left panel hidden. Now, let’s look at different ways to maximize our working space.
- Press Shift-F, and you’ll notice that Lightroom’s title bar across the top is now hidden, automatically expanding Lightroom’s interface upward to fill in that area.
2. Press Shift-F again, and now Lightroom’s menu bar up top is hidden as well, giving you maximum real estate. Press Shift-F one more time to return to the regular view. You’re toggling through the three different modes with this shortcut. Here’s a couple more….
3. You can press Shift-Tab to hide all of Lightroom’s panels, so now your distractions are really limited — it’s just your image and the toolbar across the bottom (Bonus tip: if you press the letter “t” even that gray bar across the bottom will tuck itself out-of-site).
4. If you press the letter ‘F,” it hides everything and takes your image full screen (as shown here).
That’s it — four quick tips to kick off what could be an incredible week! 🙂
