| You can -click (or, if you have a two-button mouse, right-click) a photo in edit mode to bring up a contextual menu that lets you perform a number of actions without going to the display pane's editing tools or the separate window's toolbar (Figure 4.8 and Figure 4.9). Figure 4.8. Control-click a photo in the display pane in edit mode or in full screen mode to display iPhoto's contextual menu shortcuts. Figure 4.9. Control-click a photo when editing in a separate window to display a slightly different set of contextual menu shortcuts. Contextual menu shortcuts:Use Next and Previous to move to the next and previous photos in the album. The Edit commands are useful for opening the current photo in full screen mode or a separate window, and for opening the photo in an external editor without changing iPhoto's preferences. The Enhance, Red-Eye, Retouch, B & W, Sepia, Adjust, and Crop commands work just like their equivalent buttons. The Rotate, Show Info, Duplicate, and Revert to Original commands are exactly the same as those in the Photos menu, so you can use whichever feels most comfortable.
Tips | The Edit commands aren't available in the contextual menu in full screen mode. Oddly the B & W and Sepia commands, though they no longer exist as separate buttons outside the Effects panel, remain in the contextual menu. Equally oddly, there's no Effects menu item for opening the Effects panel.
