Using the Contextual Menu
You can also access many of the operations reviewed in this chapter by using a contextual menu built in to iPhoto. To access this contextual menu, move your mouse over a photograph and right-click. (Optionally, you can click the tiny downward-facing arrowhead that appears in the lower-right corner of a photo.)
- Rotate: Click this arrow to rotate the selected photo counterclockwise 90 degrees at a time. This is great for easily fixing photos to show right way up in the iPhoto Library.
- Hide: This is another way to hide a photo. Simply click the orange X.
- Trash: Click the trash can icon to move the photo to iPhoto’s trash.
- Rating stars: Click and drag your mouse over these stars to rate the photo.
- Cut, Copy, Paste: Click these commands to cut or copy the selected photo or paste a previously copied photo.
- Show Event: If the photo is in an album, clicking this takes you to that photo’s event.
- Make Key Photo: Click this command to make the selected photo an event’s key photo. You can read about key photos and events in Chapter 5, “Working with Events.”
- Remove from Album: Click this command to remove the photo from the selected album.
