Hi,
I think it should be very easy in Pixinsight but I couldn't find anything in the forum.

Can someone please point me to the right thread or explain you way of solving this?

The objective is to have two identical previews of two frames to try and confront different processing.

Many thanks,
Andrea

When you create a preview with Preview -> New Preview... you can type in the coordinates and the size of the preview. If you have multiple same sized images, you can do identical previews for each one.

Drag the preview tab from image 1 to image 2.

Hi

Draw your preview on your first image, you will see a new tab for the new preview - select and drag it to your 2nd image and the preview will be duplicated

FYI, Juan posted this list of view selector actions a while ago.
Mike

View selectors are vertical tabs with view identifiers, located at the left edge of each image window. The vertical areas where view selectors are normally docked are view selector trays. You can perform several actions with view selectors:

- Dragging a view selector to the workspace duplicates it as a new image window.

- Drag a view selector to its parent tray to create a new preview with the same geometry.

- Drag a main view selector to another window's selector tray to activate it as a mask for the target image. Both images must be mask-compatible (if T is target image and M is mask: T is not a mask for M, T and M must have same dimensions, M is grayscale, or M is RGB only if T is RGB).

- Drag a preview selector to another window's selector tray to create a new preview with the same geometry (this is called transporting a preview).

- Drag a view selector to another view selector to copy its zoom ratio and scroll position (new function in 1.7.4). Both views must have the same geometry.

- Drag a view selector to a workspace selector (small gray square icons at the bottom control bar that allow you to select workspaces) to create a new image on a different workspace.

- Double-click a view selector to change the view's identifier.

- Ctrl+Double-click a preview selector to change its properties.
