culling
Culling mode allows you to display images side by side for easy comparison.
🔗controls
- zoom
- In culling mode, you can zoom into images (up to 100%) by holding Ctrl while scrolling with the mouse wheel.
- Pan within zoomed images with click+drag.
- By default, zooming and panning are synchronized between all visible images. If you want to zoom or pan only a specific image, add the Shift modifier to the above actions.
- navigate
- Use the mouse wheel or arrow keys (←/→) to scroll through your collection.
🔗modes
There are two different culling modes, which define how many images are shown at the same time: “fixed” and “dynamic”. Switch between these while in culling mode by pressing the “<” key.
- fixed mode
- The number of images displayed is always the same, independent of the selection length. This number can be set with a slider on the bottom panel.
-
In this mode, you will navigate through all selected images. If no selection is set (or if only one image is selected), you will navigate through all images.
-
The default keyboard shortcut to enter culling in fixed mode is X.
- dynamic mode
- All of the selected images are shown. If no selection is set (or if only one image is selected) the last value from fixed mode is used.
-
The default keyboard shortcut to enter culling in dynamic mode is Ctrl+X.
Hint: To enhance performance when loading zoomed images, you can enable (preferences > processing > cpu/gpu/memory > enable disk backend for full preview cache). Bear in mind that this can occupy a lot of disk space.
