Lightroom Tip - Before | After Editing Tricks
Lightroom has a very useful 'Before/After' function which allows you to switch back and forward in the Develop Module between the original, and edited image, using the '\' key.
The default behavior of 'Before/After' is to switch between the current state and the un-edited image.
What you may not know is that you can choose which individual Lightroom history state you want to switch between!
There are many other Before/After ' views available from the Toolbar, including top-bottom, left-right splits plus the same views but with a split-screen.
So how do you select
intermediate states?
If you right-click on any of the History states you will
see a menu and you can select 'Copy History Step
Settings to Before'. as shown below. This
allows you to switch back and forth between an intermediate
editing state.
This is particularly useful
when you are working on black and white image conversions.
If you use the default you will switch back and forward
between a colour and a black and white image.
You can set the Before/After point to switch between the
Convert to Grayscale state and your current edit. Much more
useful. Especially for black and white work.
Let me know if this tip helps
you.
