Blink between images without the blink process

[astrovienna]

I've seen tutorials where people drag one image on top of another, then blink them back and forth.  But I can't figure out what keys they're hitting.  IIRC, I've also seen people flip between different previews this way.  Anybody know how that's done?

Once you have matched the zoom and translation (position) of two views that over each other- Ctrl-PGDN (page down).
The preview thing is by using the CTRL+right/left arrows.
(In my mind, the up/down arrows would make more sense and match the visual representation on the screen)

on OSX this is clover/apple-PGDN and clover/apple-arrows

not sure about linux.

Just an additional point: my laptop has two page down keys. Only one of them works in this way, so you have to take care to select the correct one.

I would like to add that you can not only superimpose and compare whole pictures.
Two images registered on top of each other can be compared with each other in each zoom stage by shifting the image label one above the other - assuming the same size.
It has become my habit to cut out reference images from the internet with the snip tool or via print and crop, to register them with the DynamicAlignment tool and then to compare them with my own.  So I have already learned a lot.

Thanks Adam.  I saw you doing this in your TAIC video from July, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how.

Thanks for posting this Kevin. I've also wondered about that many many times.

One thing I noticed: The Ctrl + pg dn combination will switch between the last two images selected. So, when aligning the two images to be "switched" make sure they are also the last two images that are selected.

Just FYI.
