Viewing at 100% in ACR

[rob cardillo]

When determining critical sharpness in a large shoot, I find it's helpful to examine each one at 100% in Adobe Camera Raw.  It's like pulling out the old loupe to examine your slides.

However, it's cumbersome to open each file, readjust the zoom level from its default ("Fit in View") to 100%, and then grab and move the image to where you want to examine.

There should at least be a way to temporarily reset the zoom to 100% but I haven't found it yet.

Iview's Lightbox feature elegantly allows you to magnify and examine the same area in several images at once.  But that's usually much further down the workflow line for me.

Incidentally, the raw NEF files from the D2X are amazing (when I'm in focus!)

Rob -- there is a keyboard shortcut to get to 100% (command/option/0) (that's a zero, not the letter O).  To get back to fit to view, use command/0.

Thanks, Mark

That does help out.  I should spend more time learning those shortcuts.

This may be helpful.  It works pretty well for me.

Can someone help with posting a URL?  I can't get it to work (above.)  Thanks.
