Avoid non-standard interactions. Ctrl click is a very advanced non-standard one and is mainly based OS interfaces (and even there, it's not a standard!). These interactions don't work on the web.
I liked the analysis of Smugmug Dan did and I totally agree with him. I would also consider with more attention the tasks you are designing for: why the users would choose 95 of 100 pictures? If so, maybe they would love to deselect the ones they do not want: I'd rather prefer to click the 5 I don't like...it's 5 clicks vs 95 clicks! Maybe they would click 'select all' and then deselect those five... I think you'll find the answer by studying your users and creating some scenarios. Even if there are standars and good sense, choices are always dependent on your context. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
