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.
Panel Without Solo Mode | Enabling The Solo Mode | Panel With Solo Mode Enabled |

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