Using Compare and Survey View in Lightroom Classic 

Adobe Lightroom Classic

In this video you’ll see how to use Compare View to quickly compare similar images and Survey View to select and sequence multiple images in Lightroom Classic.

Compare View — Tap the “C” key to move to Compare View.

  • Use the left and right arrow keys to move through the selected images.
  • Use the down arrow to swap the Select and Candidate and the up arrow to promote the Select to Candidate. Or, use the icons in the tool bar.
  • Holding down the Shift key unlocks the Link Focus option which, when zoomed in, allows the repositioning of each panel independently.

Survey View — Tap the “N” key to move to Survey View.

  • Use the right/left/up/down arrow keys to move from one image to the next.
  • Hover the cursor over an image and click the “X” to remove it from the selection or, tap the  “/” (backslash) key to remove the active image (the one with the thin grey outline around it) from the selection.
