Loupe Software

My Nikon D50 has his neat feature on it's built-in display. I can
"zoom in" on a section of the photograph. When I thumb the wheel to
advance to the next (or prior) pic, the view selection stays put. So I
can compare a half dozen shots of the same scene for good facial
expression, sharpness, etc. But it's a small screen so it's a rough
sieve at best.

Once I get them on my computer I have no means to do the exact same
thing (cycle through a set of pictures while remaining zoomed).

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

IIRC, Lightroom does this - you can zoom in, and it stays zoomed in
even when selecting another image, until you tell it to zoom back out
again. No guarantee that the zoomed in portion will match up in any
fashion to the previous pic, but you can drag the image around while
zoomed.

ACDSee from www.acdsystems.com does this nicely.
Once you zoom in on an image (or simply draw a box on a portion of the image
you're viewing, and then click...which instantly zooms that portion to full
screen), you then activate zoom/pan lock. Now you cn scroll through your
images and not only keep the zoom level, but also the location in the frame.
So if, for example, you shot a series of portraits, and wanted to check the
eyes in a series of similar poses, you could easily lock on the eye area,
and scroll through all image.

It's very effective and quick/easy to use via ACDSee.
