The tips provided are not only practical but also easy to implement, making them a great addition to any photographer's toolkit.

One important aspect not mentioned in the article is the use of virtual copies in Lightroom. Virtual copies allow you to create multiple versions of a photo without duplicating the actual file, saving disk space and keeping your library organized. You can create a virtual copy by right-clicking on an image and selecting "Create Virtual Copy." This feature is particularly handy when experimenting with different editing styles or when you want to preserve the original edit while creating variations for different purposes.

Would anyone know what I did and how to fix this? Thank you

This is on Lightroom V: 5.7.1

If you press the “Previous” button in the bottem right corner of your screen, all the modifications you’ve did to the previous photo wil automaticly be copied to the new photo.

Problem solved 🙂

Think of X as “exchange”, SHIFT as “sequence through” and opt as “opposite of” so trying it with different keys will get some kind of effect. Be careful though especially if you can touch type so that you don’t execute an operation that can’t be recovered. Thank goodness for cmd-z and history as well as the forward/background commands in the Edit menu. The use of keyboard commands reminds me of the Unix screen editor, vi, for software editing which can cause all sorts of things to happen with various key sequences.

I agree since I have a couple of cheat sheets one for PS which is what I use and one for LR which I send to folks when they are looking for alternative cheat-sheets from what they are using. I even have some that are “on the deck” of my MacBook Pro using Post-its that I make up when I am working on a project. They reside right under my palm for easy access.
