Quick mac question

[Evanford]

I am editing on a new Mac Book Pro and find it a bit more alien than I was expecting compared to Windows 7.  On Windows I am used to holding down the ctrl key while moving a slider with the mouse to get finer increments.  I can't seem to find the same functionality on the mac.  I tried holding command, options, control keys.  None seem to work.  I know I can use option +/- to get fine increment changes but I liked using the mouse and slider.  Does this not exist on the mac like it does on Windows or am I missing something?

Thanks.

Not sure about actual mouse controls but these keyboard commands work well:

Up/Down arrow = 5 point change
Option + Up/Down arrow = 1 point change
Shift + Up/Down arrow = 20 point change

Also works with = key (plus) and - key (minus)

Something else that may ease transition from Windows is to go to Settings/Keyboard/Modifier Keys and swap the Command and Control keys with each other. This not only makes shortcuts more like what you are used to, but is a lot more ergonomic too. Whilst there you can also turn Caps Lock key off, something that's quite tricky to do in Windows.

Thanks for the replies.  I guess I am going to have to get used to using the keyboard a little more.

One more question regarding printing.  I have custom profiles for one of my papers.  I moved the profile to the mac and Lightroom sees it for soft proofing, etc..   In the print driver I select the usual media type but for color matching it seems I am defaulted to 'colorsync' with another option of 'canon matching' greyed out.  I would have thought there would have been a third option of 'none' which I would have used.  Is 'colorsync' the correct choice here?  I did a couple of prints and they seem to look okay.  I just want to make sure I am selecting the correct choice for custom profiles from Lightroom.

Thanks for the help, 

Evan

On Mac's there are some programs that have the slow-motion slider enabled and others that do not. For those that do, you hold down the Option (Alt) key while moving the control slider.

" Is 'colorsync' the correct choice here? "

Yes.  Once you've applied the profile in LR or Photoshop Colorsync prevents the printer driver doing any other colour management. CM is effectively 'off' in Windows terms.
