Lightroom Tip – Area Picker

Area Picker – Viewing a Preview Image when sharpening

The Detail panel of the Develop module in Lightroom contains the features you need to sharpen an image. In this panel is a small square icon with lines radiating from it. Click this once and now hover over an area in the larger image. As you do this you will see that area of the image appears in the preview panel at 100% magnification. Use this tool to click on an area of interest in the image that you can view in the preview area so you can see how the sharpening is being applied.

If minor adjustment is required, drag the preview image in the preview area with your mouse to fine tune its placement.

Preview image in Word

You’ll have seen preview images when you open a file in Word. If you choose File > Open and, from the Views option list you choose Preview, you will see either a small image of the full page or some of the text on the page. All this begs the question of what determines what you see?

The full page preview is an option when you save a file in Word. To configure it, choose File > Properties > Summary tab and enable the Save Preview Picture checkbox. Now, when you save the file it will have a preview image saved with it which will show in the preview area.

To ensure the Properties dialog appears everytime you save a file the first time so you can configure the Save Preview Picture option, choose Tools > Options > Save tab and enable the checkbox for Prompt for Document Properties.
