Sometimes the sliders move too fast in Lightroom, so it can be hard to get the precise value you want. Here are a few handy tips:

  • Holding the Shift-key down as you slide a slider will slow it down.
  • Below are other ways to get more precision. First, click on the number:

Then:

    • You can type in a precise value.
    • Up-arrow or down-arrow on your keyboard will increase or decrease the value in small increments.
    • Shift-up-arrow and shift-down-arrow will increase or decrease the value in larger increments.
  • Update: Here’s another from Roger d.L.H.:
    • Widening the right hand panel (in any module) spreads out the slider range, effectively slowing down the movement. Click and drag to the left on the left edge of the panel:
