Tim's Power Tips

Power Tip #1
Instant Replay: We've talked in the past about emailing and attaching things, but there's another way we haven't talked about. It's hidng right in front of us all the time, get a load of this. Let's say you're in TextEdit working on your masterpiece. Now, you want to send attached to an email. Of course, you have to save it before you send it so it isn't "untitled". Let's call it A Name. The file name appears in the top bar and so does an icon. Right, just like always. Yeah, but THAT icon IS your file! Whoa, say that again! Yeah, but THAT icon IS your file! What if I drag the icon from the title bar down to Mail? Whoa again! Cool! Mail starts up and you're ready to send the attached file. This icon trick works with so many apps, not just TextEdit. Try it and see!

Power Tip #2
Here's a spelling tip for us: let's say you spell a word wrong. Hmmm, well, we know from an previous tip that Command-Control-D brings up the dictionary, BUT!! No entries are found on a mis-spelled word. Is all hope lost for our power tip? No, because there's a Did You Mean... link that will suggest other possibilities. Go ahead and try it and see. Cool.

Power Tip #3
How about an iPhoto 06 tip?
You probably already know double-click a photo while in Organize mod will bring up that one photo in Edit mode, but if you select multiple photos you can compare multiple pics kinda up close and personal like. I bet the judges will like that this summer during our Summer Photo Contest!

Did you know iPhoto has an advanced editing mode? You enter it through the Retouch or Red Eye modes. CONTORTIONIST ALERT! CONTORTIONIST ALERT! Tim is about to show us ANOTHER one of his finger-numbing shortcut sequences!
Control-Caps Lock -9 (He did not just say the words "Caps Lock"! No, wait. He really did.) Control-Caps Lock -9 enters the advanced mode where my cursor can operate in 3 different modes. You can explore and change modes with the tab key.
Hey, you know that title bar icon thing up in Power Tip #1? Works here, too.
