I am a huge fan of Adobe Lightroom. It really is the one-stop-shop for photo editing for all photographers, from beginners right through to seasoned professionals. It has a huge amount of functionality packed into its, from basic catalogue management right through to creating and hosting web-based galleries, although of course it is most famous for its immensely powerful photo editing capabilities.
Although Lightroom has a fantastic user interface, it is useful for users to get into the habit of using hotkeys to quickly perform actions and tasks. It saves a lot of time in the long run trust me!
If you go to Adobe's website you are greeted with a wall of text:
If you, like me dont have time for all that. I have put together my personal top 12 hotkeys for you!!!
