Inside Aperture reader Alfred Lanctot sent me a "cool" tip that I think you'll find useful. When you're working with the "Highlight Hot & Cold Areas" display on in Aperture 2.1, you can temporarily disable it by clicking and holding on the Inspector sizing bar. It's very convenient. Thanks so much for the tip Alfred!

I prefer to customize the highlight hot & cold feature as the letter h. Press h to turn it on/off. Easy.
Agreed with Nick: using [H]ighlight shorter.
Consensus: key commands trump mousersizing any day.
Derrick,
Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but in the interest of "tips", could you see about placing a comments number on the main blog page for each blog? It makes for some back and forth clicking when you have to click each blog to get to the number of comments, and see if any new ones are added. Thank you so much.
Oh, one more "tip" thing: Would you consider doing interviews (video and/or audio) with members of the Aperture Advisory board photographers? Loved your interview with Vincent Versace!
Thanks
Very handy tip.
Thanks!
I use B key. Because its not used for anything else....
I remember it as B - for Black's.
This is even removing the eventually edit you have done with the Retouch-tool..
