Enable an advanced edit mode in iPhoto 6

Rob Griffiths at Macworld has stumbled upon an advanced edit mode in iPhoto 6 that offers some advanced functions when using the Retouch or Red-Eye tools. When using either of these tools, you can hit ctrl-caps lock-9 (yes, I said caps lock) to switch on these specialized cursors that allow you to fine-tune the affected areas and intensities that will be applied to your image.

Check out the Macworld article for the full run-down on how these tools work and how you can customize them, as well as an example of their abilities.

Gees Dave, didn't you know that, well, at least two people on the whole wide internets already knew about this?!

But hey, on behalf of the rest of us, Cheers, great tip!

Why isn't this more accessible? Or is this beause iPhoto much like a Mini Core Solo is a feature limted version of a more advanced product project?..

Glad to see people really read entire articles. ;-)

I wrote that piece by the way.

Has anyone found a way to have this available all the time without going through the keyboard steps for each photo? And yes I have let Apple know this should be on the next version.

Those of us who teach iPhoto 06 have known about this since January. So this is old news. Why it took them so long to find it is the question. Mac Addict covered this tip in their issue on iLife 06 months ago...
