The Filmstrip displays the photos you are working on as you move between modules. It contains photos from the currently selected Library folder, collection, or keyword set. Move between photos in the Filmstrip using the Left and Right Arrow keys, or by choosing a different source from the Filmstrip Source Indicator pop-up menu to the right of the navigation buttons.
- Click the Show/Hide Filmstrip icon at the bottom of the Filmstrip.
- Choose Window > Panels > Show/Hide Filmstrip.
- Choose an item in a panel on the left side of the Library module, or select criteria from the Library Filter bar, Keyword List panel, or Metadata panel to choose photos.
- Click the Source Indicator in the Filmstrip, and choose a new source from the pop-up menu. You can choose All Photographs, Quick Collection, Previous Import, or a previously viewed source. Previously viewed Filmstrip sources are listed, unless you choose Clear Recent Sources.
After you choose a source or sources, the Grid view also displays the photos that are displayed in the Filmstrip. If you select multiple folders or collections, Multiple Sources appears in the Source Indicator.
Opomba:
If the Grid view does not display all photos when multiple sources are selected, choose Filters Off from the Library Filter bar.
- Place the pointer over the top edge of the Filmstrip. When the pointer changes to a double arrow , drag the Filmstrip edge up or down.
- Double-click the top edge of the Filmstrip to switch between the last two sizes of thumbnails.
- Drag the scroll bar at the bottom of the Filmstrip, click the arrows on the sides, or drag the top edge of a thumbnail frame.

You can use the Navigator panel in the Library module or the Develop module to set the level of magnification for an image in Loupe view. Lightroom Classic saves the last level you used and lets you switch between that level and the current level when you click the photo with the pointer. You can also toggle between four levels using the Zoom In and Zoom Out commands.
The settings remain in effect until you select a different zoom level in the Navigator panel or choose a new command from the View menu.
Opomba:
When two images are in Compare view in the Library module, setting a zoom level in the Navigator panel or choosing a zoom command automatically displays the selected image in Loupe view.
Opomba:
Zoom levels for the pointer are also available in the secondary window.
- To switch between the two zoom levels set in the Navigator panel, click the photo with the pointer or press the spacebar. The pointer changes to the Zoom tool whenever it is possible to zoom in. You can also click the photo to switch between zoom levels in the secondary window.
- To switch between four zoom levels, press Ctrl-+ or Ctrl-- (Windows) or Command-+ or Command-- (Mac OS). If you choose a Zoom command from the View menu, the level switches between the four settings in the Navigator panel (Fit, Fill, 1:1, and the option chosen from the menu).
Opomba:
To zoom the photo to the center of the screen, select Zoom Clicked Point To Center in the Interface Preferences.
When the photo is zoomed and parts are not visible, use the Hand tool on the photo or the pointer on the Navigator panel to move hidden areas into view. The Navigator panel always displays the entire image with a frame overlay to represent the edges of the main view.
Opomba:
Panning is synchronized in the Before and After views in the Develop module.
- Drag the Hand tool in the Loupe view to move the image. You can also pan with the Hand tool in the Loupe view in the secondary window.
- Drag the pointer in the Navigator panel to move the image in Loupe view.
- Click the pointer in the Navigator panel to move the image to that location in Loupe view.
- Press and hold the space bar to temporarily zoom in.
- Press and hold the mouse button down to zoom in, and then drag in either the photo or the Navigator to pan the photo.
You can display information about a photo in Loupe view in the Library; in Loupe view or Before and After views in the Develop module; and in Loupe view in the secondary window. You can display two sets of metadata and customize which information appears in each set.
