Question

Zoom out to see small image preview

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.


How do you guys approach this?

Hello @Augustini.photo,

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.

 

Best regards,

Elmira

Actually not in a grid view. I would like to see a single photo zoomed out to to let's say 12-25%.

In LR Classic you can just simply zoom out but in CC it seems like I can only fit or zoom in.

I found that I can zoom out in CC only when using healing tool (attached). Is there another way to do it?

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.
