Drag in the Navigator Panel to Change the View:
When you’re zoomed in on an image, a white box in the
Navigator preview shows the area you’re viewing in the
main display window. You can drag on this box to move to
another area of the image at the same zoom percentage.you press E or double-click on a thumbnail, it will switch
to either Fit/Fill or the zoom percentage you last had
active (300% is shown in the illustration here). And, when
you’re already in Loupe view and viewing the image in
Fit or Fill, clicking once on the image will also activate
whichever zoom percentage was most recently active.
Click on 100% (or 1:1 if you’re using version 9.x or earlier)
above the Navigator preview to reset the default zoom
view to 100%. Now clicking on the image will switch you
back and forth to either the Fit or Fill view, depending
on what’s chosen in the Fit/Fill menu at the top of the
Navigator panel, and 100% view.
Note: At the bottom of the Interface tab of the Light-
room Classic (PC: Edit)>Preferences is a checkbox for
Zoom Clicked Point to Center. When this is turned on,
the zoom view will be centered on the part of the image
on which you click. This can be a useful way to quickly
zoom to a specific area of the image, rather than just
a general centered view.
Drag on the Main Image to Change the View: In the
main image view, you can also Command-drag (PC:
Ctrl-drag) to define a section of the image on which you
want to zoom in. This same shortcut also works for the
cloud-based Lightroom.WORKING WITH IMAGE VIEWS

image that you haven’t worked with in a while, it may
not be using the current process version and that can
affect the appearance of any Develop adjustments thatALL IMAGES BY SEÁN DUGGAN LIGHTROOM TIPS & TRICKSKELBYONE.COM
