Comparing Images
You can select an image against which to compare other images in your project or
Library. The selected image remains on the screen as you select and display other
images to compare against it. The comparison feature is useful for making final
selections of the best images in a series, or comparing two versions of an image for
correct exposure or highlights. When comparing images, you can apply ratings and
keywords, and make adjustments to selected images.
Comparing images involves setting a “compare” image and then viewing other images
against the compare image. You can also compare images in Full Screen mode. For
more information, see Chapter 8, “
