Loupe overview
Aperture has a Loupe tool (also called the Centered Loupe) that allows you to check the focus
and details of image thumbnails in the Browser without having to open the photos in the
Viewer, zoom in to check details, and then switch back to scanning through thumbnails in the
Browser. (For information about using the Viewer to zoom in to images, see View photos at full
resolution on page 166.)
Loupe pop-up menu
Loupe
You can position the Loupe over a portion of the photo to see a magnied view of that area.
In addition to checking a photo’s focus, the Loupe is useful for making quick checks for sensor
dust, aws, ngerprints on lm scans, and other issues. You can use the Loupe on any photo or
thumbnail in the Aperture library.
Aperture also provides a second version of the Loupe for your convenience. For more
information, see Use the alternate Loupe on page 184.
