Beyond the Develop Module

In a land before time there was more than just Library and Develop. So as intrepid explorers, let's take a look at some of the other modules out there—and how to hide them if you're never going to use them. Most people never venture beyond Library and Develop, missing genuinely useful tools hiding in plain sight. Map becomes invaluable when you're hunting for "that beach shot"—jump straight to the location instead of scrolling through hundreds of photos. Perfect for travel photographers or anyone shooting multiple locations. Slideshow isn't just for holiday snaps. It's brilliant for client presentations, before-and-after comparisons, or teaching workshops. Set it to loop, add music, control timing—professional presentations without leaving Lightroom.
