================================================ Adobe Lightroom Classic (Mac) keyboard shortcuts ================================================ First published at 10/1/2018 on https://defkey.com/adobe-lightroom-classic-mac-shortcuts Adobe Lightroom is an image organization and manipulation software that allows viewing, organizing and editing a large number of digital images. However, it isn't a file manager like Adobe Bridge and it cannot operate on files unless they're imported first. Adobe Lightroom Classic (Mac) has 277 shortcuts and we have listed all of them below.
