In Lightroom 6, there are several options for seeing the "before and after" view of a developed photo, but is there any way to have a "slider" on the image so you can "wipe" to the left or right to see more of one side (see attachment) instead of just having the image displayed "half and half?"

Thanks in advance for your help!

As far as I know you can do a before and after 'split' (vert. or horiz.) but no slider.
I'm still on LR CC 2015 so I don't know about the new LR Classic CC.

I don't understand the screen shot. if you use the "Y" key you get to see the complete before and after side by side. why would you need a slidebar?

What software will do that effect of showing two images with a sliding vertical bar?

DXO Photolab Elite, (and probably the non Elite version as well) has a feature that swipes across a photo to show the processed vs unprocessed results. In other words an infinitely variable split. You can chose between a horizontal or vertical swipe. It does exactly what the OP is asking about. I don't think LR has the same feature.

I don't think LR has this feature, but NIK Collections will allow this when editing using most of their plugins. I actually like to scrub back and forth to see the differences. Maybe you could recommend this to Adobe.

Lightroom does not have this but.....Luminar does. I imagine this and other Luminar features will push Adobe Lightroom to incorporate new features soon.
