Hey streettogs, I just put together a video introduction to using Lightroom 5 for editing, post-processing, and workflow. In the video I share some fundamental hotkeys, tips, and suggestions. I hope you enjoy the video, and please let me know what other questions you have about using Lightroom 5 (or editing/post-processing in general) in the comments section!

Hotkeys

• E: “Enlarge”
• G: “Grid” / “Gallery”
• F: “Full screen”
• Tab: Collapse side columns
• Tab + Shift: Collapse all columns
• D: “Develop”

Workflow

1. “F” : Make full screen

2. Turn on the “Caps lock” key

3. “P” or “X” :

• P: Pick (if you think it is a good shot): 5-10%
• X: Reject (if you think it is a bad shot or a ‘Maybe’ shot): “When in doubt, ditch:” 90%

1. Go through all of the photos

2. “Filters off” -> “Flagged”
