View effects of Sharpening

[ejg1890]

I use a MacBook Pro and I am currently early in the 3' day trial for LightRoom 2.2.

Per a LightRoom book by pressing the ALT key the screen display changes and displays the effects of sharpening, radius and detail are displayed on screen while moving the slider. I have tried this in LR2.2 by moving the slider while pressing the ALT key, but I don't see any changes on the screen. I don't see the screen that displays the changes.

In fact when I press the ALT key the Reset button on the lower right of the screen changes to Set Default, while the Sharpening, Noise Reduction, etc change to Reset Sharpening, Reset Noise Reduction, etc.

Is the functionality to see effects of these changes no longer available in LR 2.2? If available how do I view the effects on a MacBook Pro?

Thanks

You need to zoom in to 1:1 in order to see the effects of sharpening and noise reduction. The small preview box above the sharpening/NR controls is usually too narrow to be useful to me, so I just zoom the entire image.

Welcome aboard, as Alan states 1:1 view is where the effects of the sharpening are visible - yes using the option/alt key.

Thanks. It's working.
