LR multi step preset/action/macro

[annahschlia]

Hi All !

Is it possible to create a preset or something similar that will create a virtual copy and then crop to a specific size? Or will I need to just do this manually?

Alternatively, can I use the hotkey to create virtual copy and then is there a hotkey to crop to specific size or can I only use "R" to open the crop dialogue and then manually crop?  

Thanks for the help.

No. You can't create a preset to do several steps in Lightroom. You have done it manually step after step.

You can use CTRL+T  to create a virtual copy of the marked picture.

There's no hotkey to crop a picture to a spezific size. This has be done manually in the appropriate dialog.

For English keyboards, the virtual copies are create by Ctrl-Apostrophe
