h e full screen image shown in Loupe view uses the Standard preview size. If you
zoom in to 1:1 or greater, Lightroom will load the 1:1 preview. When you i rst
enter Loupe view or zoom in close to a photo, Lightroom may need to build the
preview. If this is the case, you'll see a message at the bottom of the image that
says Loading…. h is will take varying amounts of time depending on the size of
the preview being built.

ZOOMING IN AND OUT OF IMAGES IN LOUPE VIEW
Lightroom gives you several ways to zoom in and out of images. Each method has
its own usefulness; in some situations, one way is easier or faster than the others,
so it's worthwhile to learn all the methods for zooming.

To show an image full size in Loupe view, double click it, or press E or Return/
Enter. To go back to Grid, double click again, or press G. Pressing Return/Enter
cycles through Fit/Fill, most recent zoom and Grid.
