Magnifier

Pressing ` key (single back-quote, found to the left of the "1" key on most US keyboards) will display a Magnifier window that will show a 100% zoom view of any image or thumbnail under your mouse cursor.  This is a great way to judge sharpness and detail of thumbnails, or when adjusting sharpness or noise reduction while viewing an image at less than 100% zoom.

In the example on the right, the cursor is hovering over the street sign in the Preview Panel, and the Magnifier is revealing that this was shot on South Congress Av in Austin, Tx.

You can adjust both the size of the Magnifier and the zoom level shown inside the Magnifier by using the Menu options found at View -> Magnifier, or by using the following hotkeys:

CTRL+SHIFT+ + or CMD+SHIFT+ + :  Increase the Magnifier Zoom Level
CTRL+SHIFT+ - or CMD+SHIFT+ - :  Decrease the Magnifier Zoom Level
ALT+SHIFT+ +  or OPTION+SHIFT+ +:  Increase the Magnifier Window Size
ALT+SHIFT+ - or OPTION+SHIFT+ +:  Decrease the Magnifier Window Size

 

 

Metadata Popup

Pressing "E" will display a metadata viewer that will display key metadata and shooting information for the image or thumbnail under the cursor.
