How to compare two or more photos side to side with Photos 7.0

I often have wanted a simple way to do this. I left feedback for Apple at

Feedback - Photos - Apple

If more people suggest this, it's more likely to be incorporated.

You can expand the thumbnail view to get 3 across:

And you can narrow to sidebar to get almost full screen.

If I have a few pictures to compare, I use a keyword, `mark using the ~` key on the upper left (because it's not used for anything else, and is easy to hit.) Using keyword's shortcut feature I can mark a few pictures and then use the filter to show just those. Then I can see pictures side by side that would otherwise be far apart in an album.

And I can expand one to preview size and pop from one to the other easily.

It's not the same as a simple side to side full screen, but this works pretty well for comparing images.

Hello,

To compare two or more photos side by side with Photos 7.0, follow these steps:

1. Open Photos 7.0 on your computer.
2. Select the photos you want to compare.
3. Right-click on the selected photos and choose the "Create > Collage" option.
4. Adjust the collage settings as needed, and then click "Create."
5. The photos will be displayed side by side for easy comparison.

Or you could select one of the photos you want to compare, ctrl-click it, then use the command "Open with" and select Preview. Do the same for the second photo, then you can arrange both Preview windows side-by-side.

That sounded so great-- until I found that I don't have a "Collage" option. I don't think that was in Monterey, either. Where did you find this?

Your link does not seem to be helpful at all. Is this just an advertisement unrelated to Apple Photos?

You can't with Photos V 7.0. However, a work around is to get the free version of PowerPhotos and with both apps open side by side display the two images.
