Step 18:
There's a third view you can use to view
your images that can help you in situations
where you need to find the one single, soli-
tary, best shot from a shoot (for example,
let's say you want to post one single shot
from your bridal shoot on your studio's
blog, so you need to find that one perfect
shot to run with your post). That's when
you use Compare view—it's designed to let
you go through your photos and find that
one, single, best shot. Here's how it works:
First, select the first two photos in your
Selects collection (click on the first photo,
then Command-click [PC: Ctrl-click] on
the second image, so they're both selected).
Now, press the letter
C
to enter Compare
view, where the two photos will appear
side by side (as shown here), then press
Shift-Tab
to hide the panels and make the
photos as large as possible. Also, you can
enter Lights Out mode now, if you like
(press the letter
L
twice).
Step 19:
So, here's how this works, and this is a
battle where only one photo can win:
On the left is the current champion (called
the Select), and on the right is the con-
tender (called the Candidate). All you have
to do is look at both photos, and then
decide if the photo on the right is better
than the photo on the left (in other words,
does the photo on the right “beat the
current champ?”). If it doesn't, then press
the
Right Arrow key
on your keyboard
and the next photo in your collection
(the new contender) appears on the right
to challenge the current champ on the
left (as seen here, where a new photo has
appeared on the right side).
