Using Multi-Touch Trackpad Gestures with Aperture
If your portable computer has a Multi-Touch trackpad, you can use Multi-Touch trackpad
gestures when working with Aperture. For example, when working with images in the
Browser, you can use the rotate gesture to rotate images and the swipe gesture to select
a different image. In addition to using the standard trackpad gestures used with Mac
portable computers, you can also use Multi-Touch trackpad gestures with the following
Aperture features.
