What are the little square things for in LrC? I don't understand what those little things are that the red arrows are pointing at. What are they for and how are the used? I avoid them...

I don't understand what those little things are that the red arrows are pointing at.
What are they for and how are the used? I avoid them because I don't understand them.

Thank you for an explanation.

If you have dual monitors, clicking on the 2 box will display a fullsize image of your photo

Oh!!!!!!

Well, I'm working on my Lap Top computer and do not use dual monitors, so I'll just continue avoiding them.

Thank you.

If you click on it no harm will ensue. It simply pops up the image that would show on the second monitor. If you do happen to click on it, simply click the 'x' in the upper right corner to close the image. No harm, no foul. However, your policy will work fine as well unless you happen to add a second monitor!

Thanks, I think I have done that by accident. Now I understand it.

BTW, yesterday I finished moving all my images onto my new Apple MacBook Pro M1 computer and indexing all the images. This computer is a pleasure to use use now! My previous computer was an old 2013 MacBook Pro that looked a lot like the new MacBook Pro. My new Mac has 8TB of SSM. It's a pleasure to use because there is nothing attached and no cable causing a bottle neck when transferring data. Everything happens in the blink of an eye!

My old computer that now has a screen problem:

Glad to hear that. My wife ordered me a new M1 Pro and it's due next week. Haven't used Apple stuff (other than the iPhone) since 1984. So I'm going to be bipolar.

You will learn to love it. I transitioned from MS Widows/IBM PC to Apple years ago. I never looked back.

Your wife ordered a great Christmas gift.

If you did have 2 monitors, you could display the edit screen on one monitor and the grid on the other.

My new M1 is on order and I can’t wait! My old MB Pro is almost a paperweight. If the new one gives me as good service as the old one has, I’ll be a happy camper.

Try hovering the cursor over them. The "1" is the main monitor and the "2" is the second monitor.
