Cool, it works for me as described and I can see it being useful. A couple of comments:

I was confused a bit by needing Ctrl-Shift-click to deselect, did you try having Ctrl-click to both select and deselect? Actually here a simple click does nothing at all, so you could have click to select and Crtl-click to deselect, or just click to both select and deselect.

I would like to rename it to simply 'Select Photos'. This is already the 'Move/Drag tab', so it is implicit that selecting photos would only work on that subset, though you would also expect the roll/pitch/yaw entry boxes would only work on these photos too.

Selecting multiple photos graphically has further uses, i.e. if you select photos in the Preview they should also become selected in the Images tab, Camera and Lens tab and Crop tab, this would be very useful.

Also it could work the other way around, e.g. selecting photos in the Images tab should select them in the Preview, though this implies that the selection should be propagated between the Images tab, Camera and Lens tab and Crop tab.
