Hi Folks,

Need help - in Lightroom Classic

It there a way to select Exposure by pressing a button on a keyboard ? So that I cango directly to Exposure and then press + - to change it? Instead of having to manually move over and clicking on Exposure first.

I would also like to do this with other Editing controls such as Blacks, Whites, Shadows, Highlights etc.

Click on the word Exposure, then the + key increases exposure by +0.1 and the – key changes exposure by –0.1.

Click on the word Contrast, then the + key changes the contrast by +5, and the – key changes contrast by –5

Works on all sliders in the Develop Module (although the amount of change is different slider to slider)

There are also key shortcuts for moving up / down the panels, from slider to slider, if you want to work this way. But AFAIK you would need to have first clicked to make LrC "focus" onto keyboard control within that panel.

The LightroomQueen's website has very useful and comprehensive lists of the shortcuts within each LrC module. That site is well worth a look, if you haven't yet come across it.

One more radical answer, that is more like playing a musical instrument, is: there are various MiDi interfaced (or completely proprietary) physical devices available. These present the main LrC adjustments on dedicated dials, sliders, and/or buttons. Twiddling any physical control twiddles the related adjustment inside LrC, in a very intuitive and immediate way.
