It’s easy to instantly zoom and align your images to pan around and compare them in Aperture 3

Every so often I’ll pull an old tip out of the archives that I think is a golden nugget of goodness worth re-sharing. I love this tip and personally use it constantly, but I was recently chatting with a friend who didn’t know about it, so I thought I’d re-share it with all of you.

When you’re looking at multiple images side-by-side, and have zoomed into them, you can pan around them all simultaneously. But there’s a nifty trick that will align them and start panning with just one step, which makes it very easy to compare the same part of similar shots. That’s what this tip is about, and there’s even a video version at the end. Enjoy!
