Working Efficiently
To perform many tasks in Aperture, you can use keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard
shortcuts let you perform actions on your computer using the keyboard instead of by
pointing and clicking.
For example, to create a new folder, you press Command-Shift-N; this means you hold
down the Command key and the Shift key, and then press N. For a list of keyboard
shortcuts, see Quick Reference in the Aperture Help menu or refer to the printed
Aperture Quick Reference card.
Quickly Accessing Commands
You can also quickly access commands via a shortcut menu, as an alternative to using
the menu bar at the top of the screen or pop-up menus within a window.
To view a shortcut menu:
m Position the pointer over a project or image, or in an area of the main window, then
hold down the Control key and click. (This is called Control-clicking.)
Note: Although accessing these shortcut menus can help you work more quickly, keep
in mind that not all commands are available in shortcut menus.
Using the Undo Command
When you’re working in Aperture and you make a change you don’t like or didn’t mean
to make, it can usually be undone.
To undo the previous action:
m Choose Edit > Undo (or press Command-Z).
You can choose Undo multiple times to undo a series of changes that you’ve made.
To redo an action that you have undone:
m Choose Edit > Redo (or press Command-Shift-Z).
