We also used MacOS in Dark Mode - and a fluffy kitten.

All the functions are still the same, but the presentation is slightly different. Note: The screenshots provided below are based on MacOS Big Sur. We’ll also go over how to use the built-in tools, and if you’re looking for something simpler, we’ll go over one-for-one Paint replacements you can download. Read on to find out how to enable the paint features hidden on your Mac. These tools are more for annotating and highlighting photos and other files rather than creating new pieces of artwork. Keep in mind that Preview doesn’t allow you to create new artwork from scratch like Microsoft’s Paint - there’s no blank canvas. Most people don’t know these features exist because they’re hidden behind a button they never think to click. It doesn’t mirror Microsoft Paint, but it has a few editing tools, like drawing, adding text, and inserting shapes. However, Apple’s default app for opening images, PDFs, and other files - called Preview - comes close. For MacOS, there’s no native equivalent, whether you’re running the latest version or an older one. Since 1985, Windows has always shipped with a basic image-editing program: Paint. To finish off this part of the workflow, the next button will be set to auto-tone, to get a baseline for finer adjustments later in the process. Key commands are located in “Keyboard Shortcuts for Users” Then add these key commands to the X-Touch the same way as any other command.

The command to select all is CTRL+A (CMD+A in OSX) and deselect all is CTRL+D (CMD+D in OSX).Īll that’s needed to add these as key commands is to select the CTRL checkbox and type “a” or “d” in the input box, respectively. Head into the plug-in settings for MIDI2LR inside of Lightroom. The next commands, select-all and deselect-all, add a layer of depth, but are still fairly simple to set up. The entire library can be navigated and images can be rejected until the only images remaining are ones that will be exported after editing is completed. This covers the first three steps of the workflow after importing. The first button opens Develop, the next two navigate between photos in the carousel, and the fourth sets a given image as rejected.
