On the heels of providing my Aperture Cheat Sheets, I didn't want to leave out my friends who are using Lightroom to manage their photographs. I've made up a set of cheat sheets for Lightroom using my copy of Lightroom 1.3 for the Mac. I'm going to call this a beta release of the cheat sheets because I don't use Lightroom daily like I do Aperture. The sheets are made for Mac users in mind, simply because I do not have Lightroom for the PC and don't know if there is any differences in the shortcuts. If you're a PC user and can help verify this and want to help me make up a set for PC, let me know.
Making shortcut cheat sheets for Lightroom is a little harder than it was for Aperture simply because of the different views available for the application (develop, print, etc.). Each view modifies the menus and shortcuts somewhat, so what I've tried to do is reduce replication of the shortcuts and have provided some specific groupings for any items that seem to change per view.
Download the Mac cheat sheets.
Download the Windows cheat sheets.
Included is a widescreen desktop image and a pdf for printing.
If you find a error or think I need to make a change, let me know asap so I can recompile the shortcuts. I'd also like to hear how helpful these are. I hope it boosts productivity!
Update: The windows version of the cheat sheets are now available above.

Just came to this by way of the LR group on Flickr. I'll try and take a good look through the cheat sheet and see how it works for Windows tomorrow. It's usually just a matter of using ALT instead of OPTION and CTRL instead of COMMAND. Also, I can assign star ratings in Windows with just the keypad numbers - I don't need to use shift.

You're welcome Richard
Thanks Craig. I figured that's what the difference would have been, but I didn't want to assume. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for these - one little error...or two infact. On the LR sheet, CMD H and QMD Q quit Aperture...shouldnt this read Lightroom?!
Thanks again

Thanks for catching that Henk. I've corrected the files.
I did the Aperture set first and then used them as templates. Time to fire the proofer. haha

Thanks Greg!
Now I do not have to move a lot over the screen with the mouse for editing the photos with the different commands.
