LightPhotos

Select a photo

Open one photo full size, step through the folder, zoom in and flip between your edit and the original.

Shortcuts are written the macOS way — on Windows and Linux, read Cmd as Ctrl. Press ? inside the app for the list as your own machine shows it.

Highlight a photo in the grid and press Enter or Space to open it full size in the editor. From there:

  • ← / → step to the previous or next photo without leaving the editor, so you can move through a burst at full size.
  • Esc goes back to the grid; E and G jump between the editor and the library.
  • Cmd+0 fits the photo to the window, Cmd+1 shows it at 1:1, and Cmd+= / Cmd+- zoom in and out in steps. Hold Space and drag to pan, or scroll to move around.
  • C starts crop mode, and Y shows the original and your edit side by side — the quickest way to check you have not gone too far.

Once a photo is open, the tabs on the right are where you adjust the settings.
