Multi-Image View

The Preview panel in Corel AfterShot Pro can show one or more selected versions. When Multi-Image View is enabled, up to six versions can be shown in the Preview panel. Multi-Image View is a great mode for comparing several versions from the same master versions, or you can compare multiple master versions that have similar content.

Note: When Multi-Image View is enabled, many operations that normally operate on all selected versions operate only on the active version, including functions like adding, deleting, and renaming versions, applying ratings, labels, and flags with the toolbar buttons or shortcut keys, and pasting of image settings.

To toggle Multi-Image View

In the lower-right corner of the application window, click the Multi-Image View button toggle_multi-image_view.

Resizing panels

You can resize any of the panels. Resizing the Thumbnail panel to fit only one thumbnail in height (when in landscape mode) or one thumbnail in width (when in portrait mode) switches the Thumbnail panel from Thumbnail View to Standard View.

To resize a panel

Position your pointer over the edge of the panel and drag when the resizing cursor appears.
