Lightroom - How to multi select photos to import on a Mac

I have been using Lightroom for a couple of years now and the other day I needed to import some photos from my camera, but I did not want to import all of them. I started clicking through each photo I wanted and quickly realised this cannot be the way to do it and what I wanted was a way to multi-select a load of photos. The way to do it is as follows:


  1. In the import screen uncheck all the photos.
  2. Select the first photo in the range, this is not clicking on the checkbox, just click on the photo and it will turn a light grey.
  3. Hold down the 'Shift' key.
  4. Select the last photo in the range, this will turn all the photos between light grey.
  5. Now click on a check box of the last photo, this will check the tick boxes of all the selected photos.

How many people write Wikipedia pages?

A couple of years ago someone I worked with mention that most of Wikepedia entries were written by a few hundred people, I have since heard the bulk of entries are written by 1400 writers. However I find this very hard to believe seeing as there are over 33 billion pages on Wikepedia, that would mean if there was just 1400 people they would have each written over 23 million pages each, even if you said they wrote 20% that is still 4.7 million pages, so I find it very hard to believe there is a relatively small group of people busy writing the bulk of wikipedia.

How to Access Android files on Mac

I recently purchased a Nexus 4 phone, over the past couple of months I have been taking photos and video and wanted to transfer them to my iMac. I thought I would simply need to plug in the phone into the USB port and it would see the files, this is how it is done on Windows PC. At first I was a bit worried that because it was not Apple, and I had an awful feeling it would not work. But after doing some research all you need to do is download the Android File Transfer application, install it and you can see the files on your Nexus 4 phone.

How to report software bugs

I have written an article about how users should report software bugs, here is a basic summary.

1) Do not leave out any facts.
2) Remember more information is always better than less.
3) When an error occurs, stop what you are doing and write down as much information as possible.
4) Make sure it is an error and not a feature.
5) Be very specific on what windows and buttons are pressed.
