Open RAW or JPG option in contact sheet

[jakedai]

I'm often editing photos for different outputs - web, stock submissions, client final proof, etc. - and sometimes want to open just the JPG of a RAW+JPG file, and sometimes need to open the RAW for more in-depth editing. However, I am always viewing a contact sheet in combined RAW+JPG view to keep things simpler and sheets smaller.

What I would love as a feature is to be able to right-click a given image and rather than just have the "Edit photo" command, have 2 options: "Edit JPG" and "Edit RAW". I know I can switch file handling in the options/preferences, but since I switch back and forth multiple times in a session between which file type I want to edit, it would be extremely handy to have this in a right-click menu.

FWIW, I'm on Windows 7, 6 GB RAM, and using a Drobo.

Thanks!

Holding down the 'Modifier Key' (Shift on Windows, Option on Mac OS X) it will edit the opposite of your preference.

Kirk,

You are a "shifty" guy. I never knew this! I love finding out about the "hidden" features of PM. No wonder I love this program.
