Neat iPhoto 11 trick
Mar 2, 2014 11:02:40 #
By accident, I discovered a little trick (which some of you may already know) for selecting photos in iPhoto 11. I am in the process of exporting/importing photos from iPhoto to LR5. I am doing one "iPhoto Event" at a time. The normal way to select all the photos in a specific event is to click the mouse at the upper left and drag to enclose all the photos of interest in a rectangle. This will select everything it the selection rectangle.
In the process of doing this, I found that sometimes, I would select all the photos in an event at once as soon as I clicked my mouse, but I was not sure how I was doing this. I looked at the Apple support page regarding photo selection:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2345?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
But this page did not describe what I was doing. Anyway, I figured out finally that, if you click on the date range in an event header, it will select all the photos in that event. Say you have an event with a header (title) : "At the Zoo" Apr 28, 2001 - Jun 11, 2001. If you click on the date range "Apr 28, 2001 - Jun 11, 2001" all of the photos in that event will be selected.
Not a huge discovery, but I was apparently doing this on occasion with our realizing that is what I was doing to cause all pics in a event to be selected. I thought it interesting that on Apple's support page about selecting photos, they didn't mention this rather more efficient method.
