Functions of Comparison Tool

8. The first feature of the comparison tool is the Slider function. Use the slider arrows to compare before and after images—slide to the right to reveal the before image, and slide to the left to view the after image for a clear side-by-side comparison.
   Note: Slider mode is automatically set when you click on the ‘’Comparison Tool’’ button. For an accurate comparison, set the before image on one side and the after image on the other. If both sides are set to the before image, only the before image will be visible. The same applies if both sides are set to the after image.
9. The second feature is Split view. Click “Split” at the top of the screen to display the before and after images side by side. Click the “Zoom” slider at the bottom to zoom in or out. After zooming, you can drag the image to reposition it and examine details more closely.
   
10. The third feature is Ghosting. Click “Ghosting” at the top of the screen to overlay the before image onto the after image with a semi-transparent effect. Use the opacity slider at the bottom to adjust the transparency level.
    
11. To view the before and after images from different angles, select the desired angle from the bottom, including front, right 45°, left 45°, left 90°, and right 90°.
