Lightroom Tip - Turn off ‘Auto Hide and Show'
When using Lightroom in it's default mode the interface is set to "Auto Hide and Show" the side panels.
If your mouse touches the side, top or bottom of the screen then the panel will appear and cover up part of your working area. I find this very distracting.
Try turning off 'Auto Hide and Show' and setting it to 'Manual' as follows.
You should see a small triangular dotted icon at the side of the panel. This indicates that 'Auto Hide and Show' is active.
Right click on this icon and
select 'Manual'
Now you can move you mouse to
the edge of the screen without problems. When you want the
side panels to appear just click on the now solid icon.
Let me know if this tip helps you.
