Quick Navigator Tip

Sometimes you trip up over something that's been there for ages: Today was one of them.
I found if I did something in the Version 2, something cool happened, so of course I tried in in V1.41... It worked!

You all probably know this already, but my normal use in the Navigator is to select zooms (occasionally) or move about the image.

So what's the tip?

In Grid View, click and hold on the image in the Navigator. The selected image will jump to Loupe View for as long as you hold down the mouse. On release it goes back to Grid View.

A modifier to this is to Command Click (Control Click on PC) on the Navigator. The image will then open into Loupe View.

  • This doesn't work on my 1.4. Perhaps because 2 beta isn't installed ? I think that some of the functions are written in the same folder so they work for the both. I'm not sure thow...

  • The only thing they share is the presets folder.
    Remember that the catalogs can't even be shared.
    Even the preferences files are numbered differently.

  • I wondered if you could help me -- I'm so confused on sorting -- I make a web gallery from a collection and then when I go back to edit it, the order of the photos is always changed. I can't figure out how to save or control the order. Sometimes I can't even find the sort tool. Why is it so hard?

  • I can't believe after all this time I'm still learning new features of Lightroom!

    A cool tip, thanks Sean, enjoy reading all your posts on the various blogs and forums.

  • If you're in Grid view, double-clicking on an image in the grid will open it in Loupe view. In Loupe view, clicking on the image will zoom in or out, but double-clicking on the image will return to Grid view.

  • That's intuitive and well documented Mike. The point of the tip is that it's not something obvious.
