Lightroom Book 1.1 update: The Develop menus
The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book 1.1 update:
The new look Develop module menu
If you thought that the Library module had a lot of new additions, just wait till you see what the Develop module has in store. The recent Adobe Camera Raw 4.1 update offered a few clues as to what you might expect to see in Lightroom 1.1, things like the new sharpening and clarity adjustments. To borrow Russell Brown’s catchphrase ‘but wait, there’s more…!’, there is indeed more. We’ve got Match Exposure, hierarchical presets, camera-specific defaults, new tool overlays, plus new improvements to the Remove Spots and Remove Red Eye tools (which I shall be covering in the second part to this story about the Develop module).
To access this and the other feature stories published in this series, click on the stories listed in the top left section under: Lightroom 1.1 update. Or click here to read the full story.
Here is a full list of the topics covered in this article:
Exporting and importing presets
Applying default develop settings
External Editing options
Create Virtual Copy shortcut
Saving Metadata
Removing and deleting photos
Match total exposures
Swap before and after settings
Preset folders
Progressive zooms
Tool overlay menu
Crop guide overlays
Crop guide orientation
It is odd that my windows version of Lightroom 1.1 apparently does not have quite the same menu as the Mac version. Under the develop module, under photo, I do not have “Remove and Trash Photo”. In its place is “Remove Photos From Catalog”, which is something quite different. The ctrl-alt-shift del shortcut does remove and trash a photo; it is just not a menu item for me.
Actually Betty, what you are seeing is correct. You have just made me realise that I let slip thorugh the menu appearance prior to the public release of 1.1 and the menu item is no longer ‘Remove and Trash photos’ but ‘remove Photos from Catalog’ on both Mac and PC systems. I’ll amend the copy.
Thank you.

Now I have had my morning coffee I can think more clearly. You are still correct. The mistake was that I used the Apple screen key combo Command+Shift+4 to capture the menu. This is what caused the menu changed from saying remove Photos from catalog’ to ‘Remove and trash photos’. Obvious when you think about it! If you reread that section again, it should make more sense.
Thank you,
Martin
