Accurately aligning images with a mouse can be tough.
So when I’m designing a layout, I use the mouse to place the images roughly where I want them, and get back to where I’m comfy, the keyboard.
Using the arrow keys allows you to nudge an aperture in very small (1px) steps – if you hold the shift key while you nudge, the image will jump in bigger (10px) steps.
And, to make it even easier, the alignment lines also show up when you use the keyboard.

P.s once you get it just right, you should think about locking the aperture.

We need to try to find ways for our brides and grooms to commit to being photographed. I have seen both extremes, one where the bride is expecting you to pull rabbits from hats because she paid you [...] […]Johannes van Kan
