I like to think I am a power user for Photojunction. Every now and then, however, I feel like I get smacked in the face with "How did I never know this before?!" One of my favorite things about Photojunction might be the seemingly endless possibilities. Properly trained in Graphic Design, I despise having to use a mouse. I prefer using a tablet whenever available, but I also work on a laptop quite a bit, so I have adjusted to my trackpad as well. Not quite as accurate as my stylus, I still find I am better with a trackpad than a mouse.
If you haven't seen it yet, Apple recently release the Magic Trackpad. The Apple geek that I am, we bought one almost immediately. It is the perfect compromise for our desktop. I no longer need to pull my tablet out for simple things, and I can avoid using a mouse. Thanks to the tips on the box, we learned even more tricks for our laptops, that we did not know were possible.
This extends to Photojunction. The more I use the trackpad, the more I accidentally learn.
And so, my tips and tricks for today:
Did you know.... using two fingers on your trackpad (same as you would to scroll in a window), you can swipe over an aperture on an album layout and adjust the crop/zoom? I am finding it to be far more accurate than using the slider. On a current Wacom Intuos table you can use the wheel to do this as well.
Next... (and this one I didn't find, Danny told me) building on editing the crop/zoom on the layout, you can hold the command key and move the image within the aperture.
Go ahead. Try both. It's awesome.
