Computer users can often be divided into two general categories-Mousers, who like to use menus and interface buttons to activate software features; and Keyboarders, who prefer to keep their fingers on the keys, and use shortcuts to activate features. For the Keyboarders, and those Mousers who like to keep a few favorite shortcuts in mind, here is a list of the keyboard shortcut commands found in Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™ beta.
