Question

Compare mode sync button greyed out

In the Compare mode the Sync button next to the Zoom slider is greyed out and I do not know why. Two photos are showing, which is a common cause but not here.  Please see the attached screen shot.

 

I am running LR Classic 14.3.1 on Mac OS 15.5.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

The [Sync] button in Compare mode is for syncing (making the same) the ZOOM preview of the two images being compared. This will require the padlock to be unlocked.

Hey! @MarkNF,

 

A new version of Lightroom Classic was released today—feel free to download it and check it out! I want to make sure I understand your question about the Compare feature correctly. Could you share a bit more context or clarify what you're trying to do?
