164 Chapter 16 Using the Light Table
In the Light Table, you can easily group related images together to compare them after
applying adjustments. You can also use the Light Table to resize images to the
approximate sizes you’d like to see for your final output. For example, if you’re involved
in planning images for book pages, you might create an interesting series of images in
the sizes needed for the book page.
