How do you recenter zoom in LRC 12.01

In Library Mode / Loope View, curser is a magnifing glass and you can place it anywhere in the frame and clicking it will zoom in to the designated zoom amount at that location.  LRC remembers that zoom location until you pick another.  How do you reset the zoom location to the original default center location?

I think you're right.  I found View / Lock Zoom Position and that works great.

Clicking (roughly) in the center of the image no good? How precise a centering do you need?

So this would go under feature request?  I was really expecting there to be a solution I was missing.  Then again, I thought the same thing about crop to zoom 🙂

Not to be forgotten- The Navigator panel (when visible) shows the boundaries for the zoomed area. You can drag the 'box' with the mouse anywhere on the image in the Navigator window.

In Preferences, Interface tab, Tweaks section towards the bottom:

there is a checkbox "Zoom clicked point to center". Try changing that.

 

You may need to restart LrC to see the different behaviour, but it is just a tweak - not night and day!

 

Incidentally, thorough job [sarc] by Adobe "localizing" their software for the UK market. Or I should say, "its" software, "Center", "Color"... Every single time I explain something here, I make a point of remembering to use the US spelling - and then my spellcheck corrects it back to UK spelling and I have to override - just to match what's seen e.g. in screenshots. Total Quixotic fool's errand on my part!
