Before and After Button in Lightroom

One of the quick little features in Lightroom that you might find useful is the little before and after button that is a part of each of the Develop modules in Lightroom



So say after you make adjustments to a photo, you click on the little small box in the left side of a moduel heading. Click the bottom of the box and you get the before photo, and then click to see the difference. Yet again, another little feature that may give you some positive strokes for how well you're doing with your photos.

Note: the before/after button is not present in the Basic module, but in the advance Tone, Detail, Split Toning, Lens Correction, etc, modules. A nice improvement to this feature would be that you have three levels of history that would show how the photo looked originially and then how it looked right before you applied another adjusment. You can though use the History module on the left side of the Develop panel under Presets and Snapshots to see all your prior stages of adjustments. That's useful for when you want to see how various subtle affect your image.
