Here's the description from Adobe help on how to compare images. The
number of steps required gets this method a rating of blah, blah:
------------------------------------------------------------------
You can compare two or more images in Bridge before you proceed to work
with them in Photoshop or for any other reason. First thing to do is to
exchange Preview and Content panels positions by clicking and dragging.
Next thing is to enlarge preview area to be able to see more images at
once. Navigate mouse to edge of left side panel till cursor turns into
double-sided arrow and double-click on two short little lines in middle
to hide that panel.
To enlarge Content panel and have more images displayed, navigate mouse
button to edge of Metadata panel till cursor turns into double-sided
arrow, then click and drag.
Then click on first image you want to compare, hold down Ctrl key and
click on second image. Now you have two images, side by side or one
below another.
You can keep adding or excluding images from comparison by holding down
Ctrl and clicking on the image. To enlarge preview area, navigate mouse
to edge of right side panel till cursor turns into double-sided arrow
and double click on two little lines in the middle (or hit Tab) to hide
and that panel.
To show hidden panels again, navigate mouse to left or right side of
screen and double click on two short straight lines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how you do it in BreezeBrowser circa 2007:
---------------------------------------------
Select up to 4 images. Press Ctrl-Z. That's it
A new full screen window opens. If two or three images are selected
they may be displayed tiled either horizontally or vertically. To
change the tiling from one orientation to another just press the tab
key. If four images were selected they will be displayed tiled both
horizontally and vertically.
Turning the mouse scroll wheel will zoom all of the images
simultaneously. Scroll bars allow re-positioning each image within its
own window when the window is smaller than the zoomed image. Individual
images may be tagged or rated using the standard application controls.
The FastStone implementation is better in some aspects although
BreezeBrowser might be different by now. My version is several years old.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Select up to 4 images. Press "p". That's it.
FastStone allows repositioning by dragging with the mouse. It can do
all images simultaneously within their windows or just one image at a
time if the CTRL key is depressed. It also allows zooming, histogram
display and some other functions. But it does not appear to have the
ability to change between a horizontal or vertical orientation at the
click of the a key... IMHO, an important omission but still not bad.
