Zoom an image
You can use the Navigator panel in the Library module or the Develop module to set the level of magnification for an
image in Loupe view. Lightroom saves the last level you used and lets you switch between that level and the current
level when you click the photo with the pointer. You can also toggle between four levels using the Zoom In and Zoom
Out commands.
The settings remain in effect until you select a different zoom level in the Navigator panel or choose a new command
from the View menu.
Note:
When two images are in Compare view in the Library module, setting a zoom level in the Navigator panel or
choosing a zoom command automatically displays the selected image in Loupe view.

Switch between zoom levels

Pan the image
When the photo is zoomed and parts are not visible, use the Hand tool on the photo or the pointer on the Navigator
panel to move hidden areas into view. The Navigator panel always displays the entire image with a frame overlay to
represent the edges of the main view.
Note:
Panning is synchronized in the Before and After views in the Develop module.
