Lightroom can really make your life easier, if you know how to ask it to. Here are a few tips for finding things or getting places quickly:
- You’re working with a photo or folder in Lightroom, but need to go out and view it in Windows Explorer or Mac Finder. Lightroom can get you there — Right-Click (Ctl-Click on a one button mouse) on the photo or folder, and choose Show in Explorer/Finder. Lightroom will launch an Explorer or Finder window, with the photo or folder selected.
- In Lightroom, you finally found the photo you have been looking for, by scrolling through your catalog or doing a filter. But where does this photo live — what folder is it in? Lightroom can get you there. Right-Click on your photo (Ctl-Click on a one button mouse), and choose Go to Folder in Library. Lightroom will jump to that folder in the Folders panel.
- If instead of going to the folder, you want to jump to a collection the photo is in, choose Go to Collections, and choose the collection from the list. (There won’t be a list if the photo isn’t in any collections).
