to quickly select an image or multiple images to work on. You can also select images by
clicking, dragging a selection rectangle, and using keyboard shortcuts. If using Aperture
on a MacBook or MacBook Pro, you can use the swipe gesture to select images. For more
information about using gestures with Aperture, see Using Multi-Touch Trackpad Gestures
