Yeah, because it was ctrl+click to do what's known as right-clicking on a PC mouse! LMAO, I thought I was going crazy for a second there. >_<

I could've sworn Macs had a ctrl key... They do, but it has no relation to the Windows keyboard. Command replaces the use of Ctrl. Cmd+C = copy, Cmd+V = paste, and so on. Generally, the Command key, labeled with the ⌘ symbol on Apple Macintosh computers, performs the equivalent functions in Mac OS X and Mac OS applications (for example, ⌘C copies, while ⌘P prints; the same holds for saving, cutting, and pasting).
Macintoshes also have a Control key, but it has different functionality.
* It is mostly used as a modifier key for key-combinations.
* When pressing Control and clicking the mouse-button, you will get a contextual menu. This is a compatibility feature for users with one-button mice; users with two-button mice just use the right mouse-button, with no modifiers.
* It is used in the command line interface with programs made for that interface.
* Under Mac OS X, the Control key allows the use of Emacs-style key combinations in most text entry fields. For example, Ctrl-A moves the caret to the start of the paragraph, Ctrl-L vertically centers the current line in the editing field, Ctrl-K cuts text to the end of the line to a kill ring separate from the normal clipboard, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key#Similar_conceptsIMO, from an ergonomic standpoint, the Apple layout is much easier to deal with. Yeah, because it was ctrl+click to do what's known as right-clicking on a PC mouse! LMAO, I thought I was going crazy for a second there. >_< Newer Apple mouses have now included a right click button. Furthermore, with the proper settings enabled, a right click can be achieved on a touchpad by tapping with two fingers (much like two-finger scrolling). |

Most interesting. I did know about the new mouses as well, they were just coming out as I left Hallmark (and Macs) behind. Any whodoodle, time to get back on topic please.  |

I just got lightroom at the insistence of my household Mac user who said I'd outgrown Picasa. LOVE IT. Because of the RAW and original data always retained, it is good for the learning curve, since one can go back and re-edit earlier images without loss of data. Does lightroom have a clone tool or touch-up? Haven't found one. And are you using it from desktop or from a second or external hard-drive? If the latter, how does that work?

There is a healing/cloning tool in LR under the develop module. It has the circle with an arrow pointing to another circle, and at least in mine is called remove spots when you mouse over it. It's located down by the cropping tool.
