Hidden Toolbar Upgrade in Lightroom Classic

Still getting back in the normal swing of things after Thanksgiving so I’m sharing an oldie but a goodie tip from last year. This tip was one of my favorites and I still use it today.

Your Weekly Photo Editing Tip with Erika Swafford

Lightroom Classic is hiding things from you. I’m sorry you had to hear it from me…Well, I’m actually glad to tell you what’s hiding from you that might be useful to your workflow!

Lightroom has tiny, innocent looking arrows everywhere and if you don’t notice them, you might be missing out.

Upgrade Your Toolbar Instantly

Take the tiny arrow in the right-hand corner toolbar in the Develop module that’s right there under the image. (If you don’t see the toolbar, hit the T key on your keyboard.)

Click on that tiny arrow to see all the tools you could add to your toolbar!

I’m excited about the Zoom slider and the Grid Overlay option. What will you add to your toolbar from this list?

Happy editing,

Erika
