3.3.3. Snapshots

You can take snapshots of images as you process them. A snapshot is stored as a bitmap of the current center view and is kept as long as you stay in the darkroom. A snapshot can then be selected and overlaid in the current center view to help you with a side by side comparison (left: snapshot, right: active) when you are tuning parameters of a module. This can also be combined with history (see Section 3.3.4, “History stack”) to compare the snapshot against different stages of development.

You can control the split view by moving the splitline back and forth. If you hover with the mouse over the splitline, a small rotation icon will appear on the center of the line. Click it to change between vertical and horizontal split view.
