PANEL END MARKS
h e panel end mark ornaments at the
bottoms of the let and right panel groups
(see Figure 1-24) are designed to let you
know there are no more panels below.
You can change the graphic used for the
panel end marks, you can add your own,
or you can remove them completely.
Once you get used to the panels, these
end marks become unnecessary. I prefer
to leave them hidden to reduce screen
clutter.

Panel input controls
Within the panels, Lightroom provides
several types of sot ware controls to edit
and process your photos. Most can be
manipulated using either your mouse or
the keyboard. Some require you to select
from a menu; others let you type directly
into text boxes.

Triangle buttons
h roughout Lightroom's panels there are
very small and easily overlooked black
triangle-shaped buttons; see Figure 1-25.
h ese open and close a subsection of the
panel, revealing or hiding more controls.
