Workspace basics

Lightroom application interface

Lightroom is a complete toolbox for professional photographers, organized into modules. Each module focuses on a
specific portion of the photographic workflow: the Library module is for importing, organizing, comparing, and
selecting photos; the Develop module is for adjusting color and tone, or creatively processing photos; and the Slideshow,
Print, and Web modules are for presenting your photos.

Each of the modules in the Lightroom workspace includes panels that contain options and controls for working on your
photos.

A Library Filter bar B Image display area C Identity plate D Panels for working with source photos E Filmstrip F Module Picker G Panels for
working with metadata, keywords, and adjusting images H Toolbar

The Filmstrip, located at the bottom of the workspace in every module, displays thumbnails of the contents of the folder,
collection, keyword set, or metadata criteria that is currently selected in the Library module. Each module uses the
contents of the Filmstrip as the source for the tasks performed in it. To change the selection in the Filmstrip, go to the
Library module and select different photos. See
