Photo Mechanic keyboard shortcuts
A recent posting in the Rob Galbraith forums alerted me to a large number of keyboard shortcuts in Photo Mechanic that I hadn’t known about before. Here’s the list:
“These are for the Mac, but the only difference between the Mac version and Windows version is when you see “option” then you should use “shift” on Windows”
CONTACT SHEET WINDOW:

You can use the arrow keys to move the selection around.

- : turn tag off
[ : rotate CCW
] : rotate CW
U: upload photo via FTP
PREVIEW PAGE WINDOW:

Space bar: used in zoom mode to get “hand” cursor to pan around screen.
option key: will give you the “hand” cursor in zoom mode as well.
option-arrow keys will pan around in the zoomed mode.
shift-option-arrow keys will pan around in the zoomed mode, but faster (50 pixels instead of 10 at a time)
option-scroll wheel will zoom in and out of the photo.
