Comments We pushed an update to Lightroom web Help yesterday, making more than a dozen corrections and clarifications based mostly on the comments we’ve received on the site.
Highlights include:
• Clearer descriptions of how to select photos to perform tasks in the Library module. Generally, if you want to make changes to multiple photos at once, you have to select them in the Grid view. Even though you can select multiple photos in the Filmstrip, if you do so in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, changes are usually applied to just the active photo. This can be confusing, so we clarified the selection process in all relevant topics, such as Set rating stars and Add keyword tags to photos.
(Remember, when you’re working with multiple windows, Lightroom applies commands and edits to the photo or photos that are selected in the main application window regardless of what is selected in the second window.)
• A common question is, “How do I move folders in the Library module?” Now you can find the answer in a new topic, Move folders in the Folders panel. This page is part of a bigger new topic, Manage folders, which consolidates everything you need to know about creating, deleting, moving, and renaming folders in Lightroom.
• Everyone wants to drag to rearrange photos, but sometimes it doesn’t work. That’s because you have to be in the lowest folder in the hierarchy or in a regular collection to manually sort photos. This is hard to remember, so we now remind you in the topics Rearrange photos in the Grid view, About collections), and Edit smart collections.
• Our “undo” topic needed a makeover. The edited topics Undo image adjustments and Track image adjustments in the History panel now better distinguish how to reset photos and how to use the History panel.
• Want to know where Lightroom plug-ins live on your system? The Export plug-ins page now tells you.
