Lightroom Tip - Use Typographic Fractions



(Note this tip works on the Mac version of Lightroom only)

It is worth checking to ensure that you turn on the Use Typographic Fractions setting under the Interface section of Lightroom's preferences.

Typographic fractions prefs

What this does is ensure that the the exposure information is shown as an easy to read fraction, which is more usual, rather than 1/125 as below.

Lightroom_fractions_off
Typographic fractions off

Below is the same metadata box with the fractions option turned on.

Lightroom_fractions_on
Typographic fractions on

It's a matter of preference of course, but nice to have this option non the less.

Hope you find this useful.
