![]() PS: If you read my jpeg quality post and are wondering how I could compare jpeg quality results within Lightroom, I exported the photo with two different quality settings, and selected “Add to this Catalog” in the Export dialog so that I could work with the jpegs in Lightroom. Of course you can learn more about Compare View and all of Lightroom’s different views on my Lightroom Fundamentals and Beyond Workshop on DVD. If you have been zooming or panning just one photo and want to get the other one to the same zoom and location, click the Sync button.
