About RPG KEYS

What is RPG Keys?

2000 photos edited in 3 hours

The Problem

It's all quite simple. We got sick of spending so many hours editing our images, so we purchased Adobe's Lightroom and then got sick of the lack of speed and keyboard shortcuts. As a studio our workflow used to include one program for finding the images we wanted to show our clients and another program for editing those selected images. Lightroom allows us to do both tasks in one step but until now it lacked important keyboard shortcuts for editing images with speed.

The Solution

Enter RGP Keys. Our keyboard takes advantage of many of Lightroom's shortcuts and also creates shortcuts for most of the key tools of Lightroom. Coupled with a specially designed keyboard, editing images and navigating Lightroom is now as simple as a single push to our keyboard keys. With the RPG keys you can edit photos in Develop mode and Library mode and even edit images while the image editing panel is out of view.1

With the RPG Key system your workflow will now include reviewing / organizing and editing your photos all in one step. Gone are the days when you needed two or three programs to complete your image workflow.

Quick Access

The key to your improved workflow is that all of the controls you need are right at your fingertips. No longer will you have to reach for your mouse to move around the Lightroom interface. No longer will you have to reach for your mouse to adjust sliders. You can now make your image adjustments, navigate the Adobe Lightroom interface, and organize your shoots faster than you ever thought possible. Features accessible by RPG Keys include:
