Optimizing use of bridge review mode
I have been using adobe camera raw as my primary image preview option, but once again, I'm trying to see if Bridge review mode can be more functional for me. I'm finding it more helpful than I did at first but want to see if there's anything I can do to make it even more efficient for me.
The primary stumbling block for me is seeing the images at an appropriate resolution. A majority of my photography is quite close-up macro, often an extreme macro with extension tubes, where I'm taking handheld images of bugs and very small flowers in natural light. Moving air, camera shake from even what feels like a very steady position to me, and even the impact of a little ant climbing about on a very small flower on a very slender stalk is enough to shift that very shallow vocal plane, so once I've got something I'm trying to capture, I may shoot five or 50 or 100 shots in close succession. That's a lot to sort through to find the ones where the focus is spot on, with the pollen grains and the hair on the insects sharp.
Specifically, I would like to be able to see the images larger always, without needing to use the loupe first--instead of 1/4 of the screen, I would like them to take up 75 or 100% of it. This would save a lot of time fussing with the loupe, so I would need to use the loop on a smaller subset of the images.
And I'd like to be able to set the loop for a particular degree of magnification for a given series of images and have it hold there when I open it on the next image in the series. I think I'm just not quite sure how to control that part, because sometimes I seem to get it just right and other times it goes straight for a 200% magnification that just doesn't help.
And it would be absolutely brilliant if I could apply a little bit of adjustment at times when the whole series of images are a little under exposed or overexposed, but that may be asking too much of something that's not built like Camera raw.
Anyway… Is it possible to adjust the resolution of the images of the baseline view in review mode? Or tweak it for my other Wish List items above?
