'T' to display "image help tags"? (Apple Pro Training Series)

Question

Hello,

I'm currently learning to work with Aperture (I've got Aperture 3.3.1 installed).

To learn to work with Aperture I bought the book "Aperture 3" (Apple Pro Trainings Series) from D.Scoppettuolo.

On page 57 of the book it is written to press 'T', while the cursor is positioned on the image (split view mode), to get image help tags displayed.

However, I only get a soft 'bump' from the speaker, meaning I pressed a key which has no function?

When I use the build in help from Aperture and search for 'image help tag(s)', nothing relevant is found.

So my question is: is this a typing mistake in the book (and should I press an other key) or doesn't this work in Aperture 3.3.1?

Kind regards,

Should work, unless you changed the keyboard shortcut. This wasn't changed.

Here's a screenshot of the "View" menu:

What do you see at "View➞Metadata Display➞Image Tooltips"?

Hello,

thanks for your reply.

My menu displays:

Image Tooltips ^ T

I have to press <ctrl>T to get the image help tags :-)

Thanks.

However, now I have another problem. I pressed <Option> T accidently.

The image (split view) shrunk to half the size and move to the right of the viewer window.

How do I "undo" this?

Kind regards,
