Professional Photographer & Adobe Certified Lightroom & Photoshop Expert Geoff Cable of the GC2 Photo Club, explains the different areas of the lightroom screen, know as the Lightroom Interface.

Familiarizing yourself with the working areas of Lightroom will dramatically speed up your editing workflow.

Learn all about the interface, panels and workspace areas and also how to customize these to suit the way you work. Learn how to change the view modes in just a click or to and how to change back to the original view.

Learn how to move between the library module, the Develop module, Map, Book, Slideshow, and Print modules, how to resize, hide, or show the side, top and bottom panels and learn some keyboard shortcuts to make your working flow faster, less complicated and faster.

Changing the Lightroom preferences gives you the ability to completely customize the work area to a layout that suits you. Geoff also explains how to customize and change the identity plate.

It is essential to minimize post-shoot editing time, especially if you're a professional trying to make a profit. The less time you spend in your digital darkroom the more time you can spend on other money-making tasks.

It's amazing how many photographers we've met that only know the basic tools, processes and add-ons available for Adobe Lightroom. If you only know a small part of the software package you're using then you are not utilizing your investment to its maximum potential.

Here at GC2 Photo Club we like to introduce you to the little tips, tricks and workarounds that help you make the most from your Lightroom and Photoshop software, giving you the tools to make informed decisions regarding your post-shoot workflow.

Any tip or trick that introduces time-saving techniques without compromising quality is a great thing for the professional photographer and the hobby photographer alike.
