Lightroom: Flying Solo

category: Lightroom • 1 min read

Lightroom is a huge software. It’s a digital asset management software and an image editor at the same time. Do not confuse it with Photoshop which is a pixel editor. Since using Lightroom, I have reduced my Photoshop usage so much, that when I upgraded earlier my computer, I haven’t even installed Photoshop.

One of the problem with Lightroom is the panels. There’s so much. For me, there’s too much. It’s too “complicated”. I must not be the only one, because Adobe, in it’s wisdom has enable the solo mode.

When the solo mode is enabled when you go from one section on the panel to another, the other sections automatically close.

Every module has it’s own solo mode setting that needs to be enabled.
