Hey,
I would like to ask if there is a way how to view a zoomed out version of an image. Let's say 25%.
In Lightroom classic I use Navigator or a 12-25% zoomed out view to help me quickly sort out my images, especially when I have a few that are quite similar.
I can't seem to find a way to do it on Lightroom CC on any platforms, mobile, ipad or mac.
From what I understood you'd like to resize the size of thumbnails in the grid view? On Mac, you could adjust the size slider on the bottom right, and in Lr mobile use the two finger gesture on top of the thumbnail grid to "stretch" or "shrink" the size of the thumbnails.
Thank you, @Augustini.photo, for posting the screen shot. Yes, you could zoom out a photo withing Healing and also Masking tool. I can't think of any other places where you could do that in Lr mobile. In LrD, you could zoom out in a single photo view using two finger gesture. I'm curious what would be the use case for that in a single image view where viewing the full size photo or zoomed in would allow for better photo comparison, esp. similar photos?
the use case is simple, I'll like to view the photo in a size that is similar to the one on Instagram or other social platforms. On iPad that single image is just way too big as I'm used to view single photos in a smaller size when doing selections.
And another major use case is to view the shot on different backgrounds like in LRC. Many times it helps to see the shot with white or dark background.
