Get the Radial filter; hold the Command key on Mac (Ctrl-key on PC), and double-click anywhere within the image and it creates as large an oval as possible (as seen above) for you automatically.
There ya go – short and sweet, and we’re starting out this week with a shortcut most Lightroom users don’t know, but know you do! 🙂
Here’s to a kick-butt week, full of opportunities and good health!

P.S. We’re just a few weeks from the all-online two-day, two-track Portrait Photography Conference. More into right here.
Super Legit I love it when random little tips actually work perfectly! Thank you so much!
I’m a nee LR User, after getting the “oval”, how do I use it in combatiipn with the Radial Filter?
Hi Harry, that oval is the Radial filter. Give it a try.
Cool tip, thanks Scott! Sometimes it seems as though the designers must have built hundreds of such little gems into LR, and we’ve discovered only a fraction of them.
