Customizing the Interface in Lightroom

Video Transcript

"BRANDON SARKIS: My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I'm going to be showing how to use Adobe's Lightroom software. All right, the next thing you're going to see is this is our library view, and I'm going to give you a walkthrough here at some of the preferences you can go through, and so you can get toggle loop view, off and on, to here by hitting the utility key. You can zoom in by hitting Z, is our--let's see, a crop view, view options, in short, grid view style. So if you want to see compact or extended cells, you can change our loop info right here. I'm going to click on view options and actually get an idea of what we're really seeing here. Let's move this over this a little bit. So if we want compact or expanded cells--expanded cells, you're going to have more detail about the actual photograph. You can also--you can see here, it shows it a little bit differently. You can also see clickable menus on mouse over tog revenues, scroll down here. These are the cell icons you can turn off and on. You can turn the extras off for compact cells. Get a loop view. It shows you your overlay data. You can customize it and make it say whatever you want: filename, date, time, keyword, lens, camera, body, whatever you want there. Let's see. Next, we'll go over here and you'll notice that--okay, you can go over here. You're going to see that on these side bars, you can click on these to compact or expand those side bars, to make them go away if you want. You can do it at the ones the top and the bottom as well. You can click or--hold on, that gets in the way. Click this bottom, when it gets ready, your little bar at the bottom. You can click the top one, and you can see also if you hit the F key, it will also change your view from full screen to none full screen. It should F again and you could cycle through them. There's three different versions. One of them is without the top of the window bar, one's with it, and the other one's just full screen, so it's a neat feature there."
