Close-up view AND full image view concurrently?

[bobaxe]

Is it possible to display both the full image AND the zoomed in view concurrently to check for focus? Or I still have to tap zoom in/out all the time?

On a separate note, how do I edit the metadata to be displayed exactly? I don't see any Settings button in preview window:

No.  Though if you want to view a lot of images zoomed one after another, the other option is the Loupe cursor in the Contact Sheet.  Click the magnifying glass button in the Contact Sheet toolbar and you'll be in Zoom mode.  Clicking on any thumbnail will preview the image at 100% and you can pan around while you hold down the mouse button.

I tried using {lens35} variable, but it's still showing me the default mm. This is especially useless for smartphone cameras, like my Xiaomi 14 Ultra with an 8.7mm focal length (but it's essentially 23mm in 35mm terms). How do I get it to show 23mm exactly?

I don't want to have to zoom in/out for every image and my monitor is big enough to see both zoomed in and out view at the same time. Any chances this will be included as a new feature? It's quite common in all the AI culling apps these days, not to mention they automatically zoom into the faces to check for focus - very important feature.

Sorry, I missed this when I saw that your other question got a reply. Please send us a sample file. I think {lens35} is a value stored in your file, not something that it calculates based on the actual focal length, though I'd have to double check with the developers to be know for sure. Either way, sending us a sample file would help if there is something we need to look into.

There you go. sample attached.

I have the same question ("Is it possible to display both the full image AND the zoomed in view concurrently to check for focus").
I cull my images for both focus and basic composition (for instance, if any part of the subject is cut out of the image).
The only partial workaround I have found is displaying on a monitor the main view with the snapshots at the largest setting, and on another monitor the close up view ("preview") at 100% or 300%.
