All language subtitles for 70 - Screen Modes and Lights Out

Before
we start working on making our own custom

adjustments using the develop module,
let's take a look

at some of the screen modes
Lightroom offers.

Screen modes allow us to expand
the size of our develop area.

This comes in handy
if we run out of screen space when working

with large images

to adjust your screen mode,

go to window and then screen mode.

You'll now see a number of options.

Click on this second option here
full screen with menu bar.

This screen mode

will convert your light user interface
so that it occupies the full width

and length of your screen display
while preserving the menu bar at the top.

You'll also notice
that all your panels have been minimized.

This includes
the left panel, the right panel

and the panel here at the top.

Now go back to window and select

full screen

with full screen mode.

You can see that even the menu bar at
the top is no longer visible.

If you're using one of the full screen
mode to bring your panels

back to the view area,
just click this small area over here.

Each panel group does have one

and they're fairly easy to use.

And then there's full screen with preview.

So this is completely blocked out
the rest of the screen

and we have a full sized
preview of our image

to exit this mode.

And when you press the escape key
on my keyboard

and it's going to restore me
back to my previous view,

so go back to window

and select normal.

So with normal,
all our panels are now visible,

including the navigation menu at the top.

Sometimes when you're
making adjustments to an image,

you may want to dim
the lights behind the image.

And to do that,
press the L key on your keyboard.

If you press the key just once,
it dims the background

to about 80%.

If you do it again, it dims it to 100%.

So it's completely blocked
behind the image.

So that's just another great way
of isolating your image

from any background distractions
when you're working.
