Stacks Dual Screen Workflow
Lightroom beta 2 has a Secondary Display mode, which as you would expect, allows you to use two displays. Note that Lightroom 1.4 does not support dual displays.
I have been playing with the Secondary DIsplay option and have found a really useful configuration for working with Lightroom image Stacks.
Open Lightroom in Library Module mode and bring up a screen full of thumbnails which includes some Stacks.
Set the Secondary
Display mode to Survey as shown below.
As long as you are in the
Survey Mode you will get a secondary display
window which shows all the images in the Stack. This is a
fully working Survey window which you use as normal -
clicking the X in the bottom right to reject an
image. Here is how make this work.
If you click on a Stack
thumbnail you will get a single large version of the image
which is at the top of the Stack.
Now, click the numbered Stack Icon in the top left of the
thumbnail. All the images in the Stack will now be shown on
the Secondary Display view.
This setup at last makes Stacks work well in Lightroom.
