Navigating Between Images

Permanently deleted user
Is there a keyboard shortcut to move between images without resorting to displaying the Browser? In Aperture I can view my images full screen and just use the arrow keys to change images. When I'm editing I like to work with the Viewer as large as possible, so I like to hide the Browser. Bringing it up just to move between images is counterproductive.

    Yes there is, you can use Command and Arrow Keys.

    ...which by the way you can easily change to just the arrow key by editing the Keyboard shortcuts (Edit>Select previous/next).

    I would recommend to change most of the default keys of C1 anyway, since they have been poorly selected in my opinion. Many very mundane tasks are using qualifiers like CMD, CTRL or ALT instead of a simple single keystroke.

    Tip: from the Help menu, view the keyboard shortcuts. Very helpful resource.

    I would imagine that this is partly to prevent accidental unintended changes when using multiple applications or simply touching a key slightly during keyboard use - as well as making it easier to differentiate functionality and allow logical key activities to have many uses in a single focus window.

    At least one can redefine the definitions if one finds them especially unhelpful - though why that would be the case entirely escapes me.

    So you are questioning why anybody would want to change the default keyboard shortcuts, is that right? Are you working at Adobe? 😂

    I can think of a thousand reasons for doing this.
    One being that you are just migrating from another application which you have used for roughly ten years and you have trouble now with adjusting your muscle memory.

    Or are you honestly suggesting that showing the exposure warning using "CMD+E" is easier than just pressing "E"?

    Judging by the number of people who already accidentally turn on the Exposure warning and ask for help on the forum when their image seems to be covered with a strange colour you may be right - trying to protect it from accidental use seems to be a lost cause.

    That "E" is, by default, pre-allocated to "Erase Mask" is something of a conflict of use if you want to make the change you desire.

    But of course you have the opportunity to try to re-map almost everything if you really feel the need to do so. Some things might be more important than others on an individual basis. I can't get excited, personally, about having to use CMD+E (or in my case the Windows alternative) instead of E. But then I very rarely use the Exposure warning anyway so it is not really surprising in that particular example.

    I do use E and B quite lot with the adjustment layers so the current arrangement suits me fine.

    Sorry to hear you have some muscle problems. Maybe some alternative keyboard movements would help?

    I do find it also convenient that you can redefine shortcuts. It's also part of the whole interface experience where you can redefine more as a user. Why should the software company define where I want my editing toolbar and what keys are convenient for me ?
    If people work more with a mouse they might want to have different keys, since they have their fingers at different locations that people working a lot with a touchpad for instance.

    Not sure if this one was a joke, but he said muscle memory. That is, when a particular action is hardwired in when you are doing a particular task. If you've hit C to crop for 10 years, then when you think crop you instinctively hit C.
