- [Narrator] Let's take a deeper dive
into viewing the photos.
I'm going to share some useful tips for zooming, panning,
and viewing your photos
when you're browsing them in the library module.
And if you want to follow along,
select chapter three folder here in the folders panel.
So we're viewing this first image in the loop view,
which we've talked about a little bit.
The loop view displays the photo at the largest zoom level
at which the whole thing fits in the preview
or center content area.
But this isn't necessarily viewing it
at its full resolution.
If we click on the photo,
it'll take it into the one to one view.
And this is showing the full resolution of the image.
Sometimes you need to do this to evaluate the sharpness
or the noise levels.
There are some things that you just can't see
unless you're zoomed into at least one to one.
If we click again, it'll take us back to the fit view.
Now we could do that as well up here in the navigator panel,
even with the navigator panel closed,
we have fit and one to one.
Sometimes we want to go even closer than one to one,
and that's where we'll use the navigator panel.
These arrows on the right hand side,
there's a lot of options in here.
If I choose four to one, for example,
it's going to zoom in really close.
And notice that the cursor changes to a hand tool.
This hand tool allows us to pan around the image
and to look at different areas.
Now, if I click again,
it's going to take me back to the fit view,
and we see that up here in the navigator panel.
That setting for four to one is sticky,
meaning that if I click again, let's click on the ball,
it's going to zoom in on that part of the image
at four to one.
If I want to return to the default setting,
which is one to one,
I need to go to the navigator panel,
click on one to one, and then click on fit,
And then the next time I click on it,
it'll take me back to one to one.
And then another click will take us back to the fit view.
Now we can switch to the grid view,
which is this first icon here in the toolbar,
or we can get there with the g key on the keyboard.
And that makes sense, g for grid.
And then if we want to switch back to the loop view,
which is the second icon here,
we can use the e key,
and the e key doesn't make a lot of sense for me
for the term loop.
So sometimes I think about this as examine instead of loop,
but technically, it's referred to as the loop view.
To see the largest view of the photo
without any distractions in the library module,
use the f key to go into the full screen preview.
And then you can use your arrow keys while you're here
to navigate through the rest of the images
that are selected in the folder or the collection.
And to return back to where we last were in the loop view,
I'll hit the f key again.
And we'll see that the fourth image in the film strip
is selected down here.
We could continue to move
through the film strip as well in this view,
using the arrow keys,
the right arrow key to move to the right,
and the left arrow key to move to the left.
That's your deep dive into viewing photos
while you're working in the library module.
