Adjusting sliders using arrow keys

Hey everyone,

I'm currently testing out C1 and looking to get rid of Lightroom because I'm sick and tired of the Adobe RAW conversion to the R6 R5 and R3 files, Adobe is absolutely terrible in this regard and I've found C1 to be superior.

My question: In Lightroom, I am able to hover over each slider that I wish to make an adjustment on, and change the value using the up and down arrows without first having to click the slider to activate it. In C1, I have to click the slider first and then use the arrow keys to make the adjustment. Is it possible that there's a setting in C1 that I can change, so that way I don't have to click the slider each time I want to make the adjustment with my arrow keys? Having to click each time I want to make an adjustment is a waste of several thousand clicks per event.

Thanks so much for your time,

JT

  Hi Justin - Under Edit/Preferences // Tool Tab - then mouse just has to be over the slider. Variant are quick edit buttons. Example - Q key - + mouse wheel - doesn't even have to be the pointer over it. Good luck, regards Roland G.

  Hey Roland! Thank you so much for your quick reply, my friend! I was able to find it, but looks like this unfortunately only applies to a mouse. I edit using a 16" MacBook Pro w/ a trackpad and keyboard, so I don't have any sort of scroll wheel. It would be exceptional if someone takes note to this for future updates and implements a way for users to just hover over a slider and change the values just using the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard, while not first clicking on the slider, like you can do in Adobe Lightroom. Having to manually click is such a waste of time and energy while editing a wedding or a long shoot.

  Have you tried Speed Edit? Just hold down, for instance, the Q key and use left and right arrows to adjust Exposure, or W button for contrast, A for highlights, S for shadows, and so on.

  Hey Ian, Thanks for your response! I wasn't aware of the Speed edit until now! Wow! This looks like a game changer! Thanks for the tip!
