Work with photos in grid view

Grid view displays the photos in your selection in the Library inspector as a grid of thumbnails
in the Browser. You can use grid view when you want to review large thumbnail photos quickly.
Setting the Aperture main window to show the Browser by itself provides the maximum amount
of space to dedicate to viewing thumbnails. You may want to adjust the size of the thumbnails to
a size convenient for selecting and working with them. If your selection in the Library inspector
has many photos, you can also use the Shuttle control or the scroll bar to scroll through
the photos.
