Selecting multiple images

[Harvey Levine]

Let's say hypothetically that I have 100 images on my contact sheet. I select #1 through 20 by selecting 1 and 20  while holding the shift key. OK. Now I want to select #70 through 90. Is there a way to select 70-90 without unselecting the first 20 and without having to select 70-90 one at a time by holding down the command key?

Harvey,

You can't start a new shift selection, but you can 'paint select' by holding down the Command key and drag the mouse over other thumbnails and they'll become selected without losing previous selections.

HTH,

Thanks.

I use Windows and 'Paint select' as described by Kirk works fine but Ctrl+Shift is faster. In your example I would select the first 20 images as you describe and the second 20 by holding Ctrl+Shift and clicking on image 70, let go of Ctrl (keep Shift pressed), then click on image 90. Assume this works on Mac as well.
