Question

Syncing Scrubby Zoom Across Multiple Images

I cannot find it anywhere in the documentation (and could have sworn this was possible in previous iterations of Camera Raw), how do I load multiple images into Camera Raw, use Scrubby Zoom (or Zoom generally) and make sure that each image I tabe to is in exactly the same location, at the same zoom setting?

 

This is very useful in many many ways specifically to check and see if an image has shifted at all during a photoshoot (eg., night sky work and wind moving the camera EVER so slightly). There should be a way to see if the images line up perfectly without having to align them and check (far too time and resource intensive).

I believe in the Zom Level settings, Global Zoom Settings needs to be checked.

In ACR, with multiple images:
Select All (On Mac I use Command A)

Draw a rectangle with the magnifier to the size you wish to zoom or just use the zoom in/out on magnifier tool OR Scrubby Zoom. 

Move to another image, it should be the same zoom ratio. Any or all of those options 'sync' the zoom for me.

Thank you for those options and input, and it seemed to me this used to be
the behavior-- which is why I am asking. It no longer works (possibly a
big then) so those options don't work for me. Any idea of the fix? Settings?
