Lightroom Tip - Keep your User Print Presets Updated

22/10/07 Filed in: Lightroom Tips
If you use Lightrooms 'Print Presets' feature you will have seen that you can add your own presets using the 'Add' button under the template bowser; in the example below I have added a preset for the UK A3+ paper size.

Lightroom Print Presets

You need to be aware that if you make further changes to any of the print options associated with your new user preset they will not be automatically saved.

In order to keep your user preset in synch with any changes you make to the print settings you have to 'right-click' on the preset name and select "Update With Current Settings". Note this only works with user presets and not the built in Lightroom presets.

Hope this helps. I spent a lot of wasted effort - and paper and inks - until I worked this one out!

Lightroom Tip - Use Quick Print

13/10/07 Filed in: Lightroom Tips
Once you have set up your print settings in Lightroom you can save yourself opening the final print dialog box, as well as a few clicks, as follows.

print_dialog

All you have to do is hold down the 'Alt' key as you click the Print button. The button will change to look like the one below and a single click will start the job.

print_no_dialog

If you have a lot of images to print using the same settings this can be a real timesaver.
Let me know if this tip helps you.

Lightroom Tip - Turn Off 'Auto Hide and Show'

05/10/07 Filed in: Lightroom Tips
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.

auto_hide_on

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 the now solid icon.
Let me know if this tip helps you.
