Comparing photos in the Library module
Lightroom lets you view large previews of one or more photos for tasks like picking out the best photo in a series. You
can view side-by-side previews of two photos in the Compare view, or view tiled previews of two or more photos in
the Survey view.
In the Compare view, one photo is the select (active) and the other is the candidate. Using controls in the toolbar, you
can swap the select and candidate photos, zoom in and out of one or both views simultaneously, and specify when
you’re done comparing.
In the Survey view, the selected (active) photo has a white border. You can designate the active photo by clicking it in
the image display area. All photos have a Deselect Photo icon
in the lower-right corner for removing the photos
from the Survey view. (On the Mac
OS, move the pointer over the photo to see the icon.)
Both views provide access to rating stars, color labels, and Pick or Rejected flags for each photo. Both views also let you
deselect photos to narrow down the images under consideration. See “
Filtering and rating photos
” on page
75.
You can always switch between the Compare and Survey views while comparing photos. You can also display Compare
and Survey views in a second window on a second monitor. See “
Displaying the Library on a second monitor
” on
page
25.
