Adobe Lightroom shortcuts for Mac

Essential Lightroom shortcuts include G to switch to Grid view in the Library, D for Develop module, and E for Loupe (single photo) view. Press L to cycle through Lights Out modes (dim and hide panels), and F for fullscreen. Use [ and ] to decrease or increase brush size, and the number keys 1-5 to set star ratings. Press P to flag a photo as a pick and X to reject it.

In the Develop module, press V to convert to black and white, Cmd+Shift+C to copy settings, and Cmd+Shift+V to paste them onto other photos. Use the up/down arrow keys to increase or decrease the active slider value. Press Cmd+Z to undo and Cmd+Shift+Z to redo. Toggle before/after view with Y or \ for a side-by-side or split comparison.

Press G to enter Grid view and use the number keys (1-5) to assign star ratings quickly. Filter photos by pressing Cmd+L to show only flagged images, or use the filter bar at the top (press \ to toggle it). Create collections with Cmd+N, and use Cmd+Shift+N for a new folder. Press T to show or hide the toolbar at the bottom for quick access to sorting and filtering options.

If Lightroom shortcuts aren't working, make sure no text field is active — press Escape to deselect any input fields. Some shortcuts like grid view (G) only work in the Library module, while editing shortcuts work in Develop. Check Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts to see your current bindings. Resetting to defaults can resolve conflicts. Also ensure macOS System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts hasn't overridden Lightroom's key bindings.
