Edit menu

Undo, redo & clipboard§

• Undo (⌘Z) / Redo (⇧⌘Z) — step backwards and forwards through your recent changes.
• Cut / Copy / Paste and Select All (⌘A) — the standard macOS commands. In a text field they act on text; in the grid, Select All selects every photo in the current view.

Selecting photos§

These commands change which photos are selected in the current view — the basis for any action you then apply to a group.

• Select None (⌘D) — clear the selection.
• Invert Selection — select everything currently unselected, and vice versa.
• Select Only Active Photo (⇧⌘D) — narrow a multi-photo selection down to just the active one.
• Deselect Active Photo (/) — drop the active photo from the selection.
• Select Flagged Photos (⌥⌘A) — select every picked photo in the view.
• Deselect Unflagged Photos (⌥⇧⌘D) — keep only the flagged photos selected.

Select by Flag, Rating or Colour§

Three submenus select photos matching a specific attribute in one step:

• Select by Flag — Flagged, Unflagged or Rejected photos.
• Select by Rating — 1★ or higher, up through 5★.
• Select by Color Label — any one of your five colour labels, or No Label. (Label names are the ones you set in Metadata ▸ Edit Color Label Names…)
