Photoshop split-screen views

[James Lum]

I just saw a review of Photoshop CS (in a photo magazine) which highlights its new features. I saw a screen shot of a before/after split-screen view, showing changes you make to an image in real-time. Half the image remained unchanged, while the other half reflect the adjustments being made.

Have I missed something? I can't seem to find this option...if it is an option at all. Or does it just "happen" in certain instances?

The screenshot was probably made for the production or book you saw. It's common practice to set up two documents, one before adjustment adn one after then take a screenshot so the reader/viewer has reference. It's not a feature in Photoshop.

Great idea though.

Save for Web has the split screen. could he have seen that.

I've been corresponding with one of the editors at the mag, and he said the author did in fact create separate layers for illustration purposes. Yes, I know about the split screen in the "Save for Web", and think it's great to see side-by-side comparisons. So Mark, I agree, it would be a good idea to be able to split the window in half as another proofing alternative.
