Title: X-Y comparison
Post by: DeanSonneborn on October 25, 2010, 10:14:28 pm

I am trying to compare two images that are in different directories. I've done every combination of select and ctrl-select of the two images but I can never seem to get LR to put them on the screen a together. I can easily compare two images that are in the same directory but there must be a secret of comparing across directories.

How about Quick Collection?

...Or try selecting a set of images and typing 'n'. This is called 'survey view' and is also accessible from the toolbar ('t').

it's called a "collection" but shhhhh! Don't tell anyone (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSC9EBC412-9DBB-4a3e-9ABD-4BF0C12CFF0F.html). ;)
