Quickly crop photos in Lightroom

BEGINNER LEVEL

There is a quick way in Lightroom to crop your photo. In other words you want to remove image material on the outside.

All topics discussed are from the DEVELOPMENT module performed.

Helpful tip, press the "D" key and you'll come directly from your Library in the Develop module

Via R key

Press the R key on your keyboard and Lightroom will show a frame on your screen. You can make this frame bigger or smaller with the mouse. If you move the mouse very slowly along the frame you will see that there are several more options, such as tilting your picture. Are you ready? Just press the ENTER key.

What you did was not quite what you intended. Then you can undo the action with the CTRL and Z key combination (WIndows-PC). On a Mac, this is the COMMAND key and Z.
