My Lightroom language is set to English therefore LightBar works fine with all English language version of Lightroom.

LightBar only works with Lightroom Classic CC (tested with the most current version 10.3).

Paste Settings from Previous | Reset All Settings (LP)Įxport Video Slideshow | Export JPEG Slideshow (LP) Tone Curve Target Adjustment | Target Adjustments MENU (LP) Merge Panorama in Photoshop | Merge HDR in Photoshop (LP)Īutomatic Adjustments | Match Total Exposures (LP)Īutomatic White Balance | White Balance Selector (LP) No Label - Red Label - Yellow Label - Green Label - Blue Label - Purple Label No Star -1 Star - 2 Stars - 3 Stars - 4 Stars - 5 Stars Show/Hide Info Overlay | View Options (LP)

Followed by super long list of all buttons and shortcuts you can use with Lightroom LightBar:įull Screen | Full Screen and Hide Panels (LP)Īttributes MENU | Create Virtual Copy (LP)Įdit Metadata MENU | Enable Auto Sync (LP) Here you can easily jump between different Lightroom modules as well as change display brightness and turn on/off True Tone (which you should do before any photo editing session).įirst, let me show you some screenshots. If you do not want to use simple keyboard shortcuts for switching modules (D for Develop, L for Library), you can hold Control button and Module switching bar will show up. Each touch bar has a few sub-menus and most of the buttons work on single press/long press basis (see the list of all shortcuts below).

I created different touch bars for all Lightroom modules except “Web“ which I never used. Here is what Lightroom LightBar looks like: Photographers and frequent Lightroom users will understand and those to those who do not I strongly recommend to get familiar with at least the most common shortcuts For that reason you will not find routine stuff like “Show Highlights Clipping“ (J), “Show Before/After“ (), “Toggle Fullscreen“ (F) and even setting attributes (Labels, Stars, Flags) are hidden bit deeper in the depths of my touch bar because it’s waaaay easier to press J,, 1, 2, 3, …. Therefore when designing my touch bar I decided to focus on less common/hidden features and features I seldom use keyboard shortcuts for because they are a) too hard to remember or b) have no keyboard shortcuts (that’s where the Menubar-Item trigger came in handy).

I use Lightroom and Photoshop on daily basis and am familiar with most of keyboard shortcuts. I’ve spent more than 24 hours of designing and tweaking it to fit my needs as a professional photographer. So I decided to create one and here it is! I call it LightBar, the missing Lightroom Classic Touch Bar. There are tons of great touch bar presets here and on the web however I could not find any useful Lightroom Classic touch bar preset. For more information & download please see separate post below. IMPORTANT UPDATE - I created new touchbar preset for Lightroom CC (cloud based Lightroom).
