Digging a little deeper into the library module, we're going to make our way down the left hand panel and the first tab we arrive at is the navigator tab. So we've already established that when we double click on an image in the library, it goes up into what's called loop view where it fills the available area. And if we click one more time, it zooms up to 100%. And if we click again, it zooms back. So we've got these two modes in mode and out mode if you like. And you can see up in the navigator, it's giving me a little bit of a preview of what's going on as I zoom in.

So when I go into my in mode, you can see it shows me where I'm currently zoomed in and I can move my perspective around if I want to look over here or if I want to look over here. And then when I zoom out it goes back to full image. Now what else we've got on the navigator tab is the ability to decide what these in and out modes actually are. So by default, it's set to fit and fit, fit and one to one, so fit means the image fits entirely on the screen. And when I click in one to one means that's 100%, so one image pixel for one screen pixel. Now if I wanted to zoom in further I've got this little menu here on my navigator that enables me to go into a greater magnification, I can go to 21321421 all the way up to 11 to one which is going to take me right into bear pixels if you like.

So, if we look over here you can see we're looking at the individual pixels in the little monk sigh there. Now it's pretty rare that you need to zoom in to this extreme level in Lightroom. I think that's much more of a Photoshop situation. So I very rarely if ever, go beyond these good default views of fit and fill. Sorry fit and one to one I should say. So fill if I use fill for my out mode, then what it does is it fills the available area.

So fit places the image in time. in there, fill fills the available area. This seems like a pretty insignificant point of difference with a landscape image. But if we move to a portrait image, then fill mode you'll see will very much kind of zoom the image up to fill the available area. And again, you can see navigator reflecting what's happening that is 50 image in the available area, fill the available area with the image. So the defaults, the Lightroom defaults are fit for your app mode and one to one for your in mode.

And I personally like to leave it right there at those defaults. I'll find them very useful defaults, but you certainly can use fill if you like, or you can choose a greater magnification or a lesser magnification for that matter. So one to eight is going to live the image. Not quite a zoomed in. So that's what's going on up in that navigator tab and light rooms. defaults are very good defaults.

I certainly happily leave them in that position.
