Changing the Viewer Background

Changing the Number of Images in the Viewer
You can specify whether the Viewer displays one image, three images, or multiple images
at a time. If your system uses multiple displays, you can configure your main and secondary
displays to show single images, three images, or multiple images simultaneously. The
display settings you choose also control the display of images in Full Screen view.
By default, the Main Viewer is set to Show Multiple. When Show Multiple is chosen, the
Viewer displays anywhere from one image up to twelve at a time, depending on the
number of images selected in the Browser.
To display multiple images
µ
Choose View > Main Viewer > Show Multiple (or press Option-U).
When the Viewer is set to Show One, the Viewer displays one image at a time regardless
of the number of images selected in the Browser. This setting allows you to make a
multiple image selection in the Browser and then view each image by itself within the
selection.
To display a single image
µ
Choose View > Main Viewer > Show One (or press Option-R).
