Question

Increase Exposure in Library mode, shortcut

Hello Everyone, 

 

I'm reaching out to the community and maybe to Lightroom developer as, I find that if would be of great use to have a keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease 1/3 exposure when in Library mode.

 

I find that in my initial selection when I go throughmy images, image by image, it would be of great use to just increase/decrease exposure quickly before actually doing any color edit..

 

I can do so in develop mode with the up / down arrow on the keyboard but going through images is much slower in develop mode.

 

Anyone who has a solution?

    @tom26606516m837  If you are a professional photographer, or edit thousands of images, then you money would be well spent on a Loupedeck+.  https://loupedeck.com/products/loupedeck-plus/

    In Library grid view, with the Loupedeck+, it is so easy to move in the grid with the arrow keys, and a single turn of the exposure knob does what you are asking. Or any of the other Basic tone adjustment knobs!

    I use one (no association with the company), and I am only an amateur, but i find a small job like a portrait shoot can be editied so much quicker.

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

      You can use the "Quick Develop" panel in Library.

      Yes I know that but I still need to use a mouse to get there, what I'm looking for is a keyboard shorcut to use the increase/decrease exposure from the Quick Develop panel

        @tom26606516m837 

        The KBSC doens't exist and I doubt Adobe would implement it.

        Why only a KBSC for "Exposure +/- X" and not increment/decrement Clarity, Saturation, Dehaze, etc...

         

        A possible solution is to create a script to increment Exposure by +0,33 AND then you can assign a KBSC to it, at least on Mac.

        In develop I believe using  LrDevelopController.increment one can sue the script do BUT I don't know how it can be done in library.

         

         @johnrellis definitely knows how to do it, if doable.

         

        Using Quick Develop IS the simplest solution so far but no KBSC.
